As I look back, I wish I had all the wasted TIME and money on drugs over the last 10 years. I would have a small fortune sitting in the bank.
I can honestly say, smoking weeds does make you forget things you would otherwise remember. After smoking heavily for one night, the next 3 days my memory would be shot. Constantly forgetting things and getting frustrated. Important things!
I would remind myself about something coming up in a couple days, maybe a birthday, then I would smoke and completely forget the event coming up.
It all started with cigarettes when I was around 18 followed by drinking. I then moved towards more dangerous drugs and began taking high quantities of these. After years of use and many nights thinking I was going to die from OD, I quit the heavy drugs and moved to weed. At that time, I stopped using everything but weed because it was my out to stress.
The many nights sitting on my ass high, constantly eating, and wasting time doing nothing with my life.
Do I miss it. You bet I do. That sweet sweet taste of some high dollar mary jane and then devouring a good meal afterwards. It was fun considering my age, but not smart considering my future.
Not to mention the possibility of getting caught by the police and jail time. I got lucky there, never caught, never in trouble with the law.
My advice is, yes for the moment it seems like its not a big deal, but its a waste. It's a waste of money and more importantly your time. The time it takes to track some down on the phone, the time it takes to drive there and back to get it, and the time you wasted sitting on your ass high as a mother fucker when you could be out doing something more interesting. More importantly to others, the time you wasted sitting in jail, paying fines, or on probation.
Do the smart thing and use the money and your time to further your education.
When you get older, its easier to make the wise decision.
I wish I had all that wasted time back. Life is short.
