This is something that has dawned on me in recent years, probably the past two or so years: I think weed offers a false sense of enlightenment. Being an altered state of mind you will definitely have a different way of looking at things and you may feel that you can see things more clearly because you’re now seeing them in a new way for the first time. I’m not very religious, I was raised United Methodist but stopped going to church when I was 14. I lost my faith, though I’ve remained open minded to the paranormal and other things that might be deemed spiritual throughout the remainder of my life. One thing I’ve started to believe in as the years have gone on is karma, and how the universe seems to always come up with a brilliant way to punish people for sinning and I believe this false sense of enlightenment provided by drugs is the punishment for succumbing to your vices. I used to smoke a TON of weed back in the day, I got in trouble with the law a couple times and have had to quit multiple times due to court ordered drug treatment plea deals and such and now I only smoke on rare occasions, and when I look around at the people I used to hang out with who are still living the dude weed life I now realize that they’re all losers. Their lives are crippled by this harmless drug because they crave it. They spend stupid amounts of money on it just so they can smoke it all the time and not a single one of them has done anything of value with their lives. They’re all single, have shitty jobs, live in shitty apartments and their lives are just kinda pathetic. It’s honestly just sad, I really do pity them. They have no hobbies and interests outside of vidya/Netflix and smoking weed. However you want to define being in touch with the spiritual, that isn’t it, that’s gotta be the furthest thing from it. It’s a way of life that, to me, totally lacks any soul or meaning

In contrast, my life has improved dramatically as a result of distancing myself from that lifestyle. My passion for my hobbies and my dedication and belief in myself has led me to live a life that I’m truly proud of. I’ve accomplished far more than all of those deadbeats I used to associate with and I would consider myself to be the most talented person I know because that’s what I’ve set out to do. My mind is truly free to the possibilities that lie ahead of me and I’m not held back by any crutch, I shape my own future. I do feel, in a sense, that the universe is rewarding me for taking the right path and always working hard and not trying to take an easy road to enlightenment or fulfillment. Instead I strive to do great things and to always do the right thing. I think many people end up getting stuck in life because they don’t ever actually try to do their very best, they kind of half ass it and then give up and they let society drip feed them a life that’s not great, but just good enough that they can’t complain. Most people probably don’t want to live a life that’s just good enough, they want to live an extraordinary life. If that’s what you want then you need to go out and get it, it’s not as easy as smoking a doobie, but it’s a lot better. Get out there and grab life by the horns anon. Follow your dreams before it’s too late
