But if it's a serious issue keeping other people from knowing, then it's not worth smoking weed Laughing it's just an unnecessary amount of stress and effort to keep people from knowing you're smoking a plant.
If you're looking to experiment with mindstates and altering your chemistry, there's no reason not to. Human beings have been doing it since their beginnings, it's a worthwhile and illuminating adventure but it has its risks. But yeah there is definitely merit in it, and a lot one can learn from certain stuff. But you have to stay smart and be self aware and be weary of drugs that have no real benefits aside from getting fucked. They are usually destructive and dangerous.
I would very much agree with this. Perhaps somewhat controversially, I would also argue that there's nothing wrong with wanting to take drugs for fun, purely recreational purposes.
As an occasional user of chems, while I don't feel that I need any of them in my life, I honestly do feel like my life has improved as a result of opening up to them. While a lot of people frown on drug usage out of ignorance, fear, or opposition of any other kind, I would not want to pass judgement on any person for wanting to explore the mind-altering spoils of this world, and I feel that people would be missing out to not experience certain things in their lifetime. I speak for myself only, however. Many people are completely content to live a life of sobriety, and I respect that.
Excess, abuse and addiction is never a good thing though. You have to find balance in your life. Be responsible, be sensible and be knowledgable about the topic of drugs at all times, because it is complex.
nothing tastes better
