Well, that’s great! Glad to hear it. All I know is I grew up in the 60s-70s and pot was a staple at parties and everywhere - so was alcohol. Coke didn’t come on the scene until the 80s. I never did any drugs at all. I saw too many people become waste cases.
I saw perfectly find people literally become chuckleheads. In my experience, the people that I knew that smoked pot regularly all ended up being underachievers. The guy I knew who smoked it the most ended up as a bicycle messenger and the last I checked he was still doing that - at age 55! Still a doped-out guy that can’t seem to hold a conversation with you - well one that makes any sense anyway.
I quit smoking and drinking and the doors blew wide open for me. I found a whole range of new interests like gardening, photography, art, history....
Meanwhile back in the old hometown, my childhood friends spend their days looking for their next joint. I still like them just fine but I find them tiresome. Its like they never grew up and I can recite every conversation I have with them because they’re always the same.
