This is a subject I think about a lot when it comes to bud. The whole, "weed makes you lazy, a burnout, kills your drive and ambition, makes you slow/dumb" etc. I've personally known people on both sides of the coin. Daily smokers that were lazy and basically losers, and other guys who toke daily and are very successful and ambitious. I don't know about you guys, but for me I can't deny that if I smoke almost everyday my life is filtered through this comforting, yet, hazy experience. Smoking becomes a way to avoid reality, this comforting blanket. Is this just a lifestyle choice you kind of have to accept if you're a habitual smoker? I know there's lots of justifications that us smokers tell ourselves that convince ourselves that bud is totally fine and much better than other hard drugs(which is true), but do you really think you think you can be just as ambitious, successful, and clear headed if you're a habitual smoker? I really do enjoy smoking, I'm probably self medicating my life long depression, but I'm just giving it serious thought about whether I can both smoke, and fulfill my dream of having a successful career in practicing medicine.
