so... it's been a little more than a month that I stopped smoking. i had smoked, regularly (almost everyday), for ten years. i have to say, it feels good. i'm not saying that smoking weed is bad. of course we live in an intolerant society, and this doesn't help. but i do think that one of the things about smoking weed, or doing any other drug, for that matter (because, let's not lie to ourselves, marijuana is a drug), is to know when to stop, to know when is enough. and also to accept that a regular pot smoker is, to a certian extent, less productive than someone who is clean (i hate that word, as if pot was dirty). and the fact that we live in a extremely competitive and over-productive society puts us, oh dear weed worshipers, in a disvantageous and awkward position. i'm not saying i'm quiting for ever, or telling anyone to do so. i don't want to be a moralist. but know (yes you) that one of the best things in life is two know oneself (to get to know oneself is both a delighful and intriguing process), and marijuana sometimes gets in the way, thus bluring our selfimage, our selfknowledge, and therefore our disires and goals in life. marijuana is not always a carrier of knowlegde.
peace.
