Lol you guys are cracking me up. I was going to say a few words, but it won't lead anywhere, as you simply don't talk about what OP should do, because you smokers and non-smokers are pushing your own experiences, knowledge towards this subject and own beliefs up to his throat.
But I will say a few words:
You can't really be a good adviser in love, and help your friend get back to his ex, or hook him up with some girl, if you never had a relationship longer than 1 month or if you are a virgin. Yet you feel like you know what is the best for the other one, even when you don't understand yourself.
+
You can't explain to a guy praying to God (etc) that this is useless, when you are an atheist and can't understand that world because he has its own beliefs in its own world.
+
You can't teach another guy how to fight and defend himself, if you never had any fighting experience ( be it practice or real )
As well as:
You can't advice a guy about smoking weed if you never smoked weed. You can't advice about smoking weed and doing IM if you never tried smoking weed and mixing it with IM.
OP asked a few questions, and now you all are starting talking about pros and cons of its medical benefits and such. Like in any other thread, people tend to speak about the general thing, instead of what's being targeted.
Fuck weed, Fuck alcohol, I don't smoke, I don't drink!
And yet you know what's best. You
don't smoke? Good for you.
Fuck alcohol? Yeah fuck it, yet no matter how bad that is, I enjoy it every now and then, with a few fine girls and friends, dancing, in a club, having a blast. But there's a but (I am not offending you in any way lakim0, I just want to make that clear) I don't abuse it as I don't like alcohol that much neither. But I do enjoy it if I have the right people and setting. Or just a casual drink.
Fuck weed? Why fuck it? How does that affect you if you don't even smoke it? The same way I could say fuck doorbells. Just fuck them.
Now, OP:
Here is your problem. First of all, weed can be very helpful if you know what and when to use it for. I will keep this related to your concern, but hear me up. Your problem is that you ABUSE IT! Like in any other thing, when you ABUSE something, there are certain side effects; here you go:
-abuse chocolate and sweets? get fat
-abuse sleeping pills? you won't sleep anymore, never again, as natural and normal as you did before taking them
-abuse a preteen? get raped in the jail
and so on.
Now, abuse marijuana? You get into quite of a zombie. I know people get green tea, coffee, even occasional adderall so that they can focus on what they do. But once in a while, they use weed, and not in a circle with friends or to chill, but as for thoughts about IM. You will turn out very creative about many things, and maybe even hit the jackpot. But you can't stay all your life being 'creative' everyday, smoking it, reflecting on methods and such. You can't actually work for real while smoking. But you can plan things up, invent and such.
Have you ever tried this? 3 weeks full IM work. 1 week as weed-week. 1 month passed.
or
Work, work, work... late in night, smoke, reflect on the day, sleep well. And not like everyday.
And yes, abusing weed, does make you a zombie. But I have my researches and there are a lot of positive effects, yet I won't change the topic. And as I said, when you abuse something good or bad, usually an abuse results in something unpleasant. So think. Learn to value the plant, learn to respect your work,and don't shit where you eat.
As someone above said, you need to work, then play! You can do them both in the same time, like once, twice.. but NOT everyday!
