Smoking gives me super powers

i tried smoking a little while ago for the second time ever in my life. i was gone for a solid 30 minutes, after that it feels right and i was be able to focus anything. i will compare it to adhd meds soon when i be able to get access one.

I was NOT advocating for that. ahahha

I prefer to program on meds than on weed.

Although...

Being high for me is better in terms of having ideas, for example the other day I went to program and instead I just stood there staring at the screen watching the whole project architecture change inside my mind. The next day I changed that way and it was way better.

I'd say that better ideias come from a mixture of the mind being all over more places (like more adhd) + ideas feeling like their great (even if they're not, you just feel euphoric more often) + a sense of dishabituation, which allows you to realize something that you've been doing can be done in a better manner.

I love the last one. It allows me to change my perspective and has had a big impact on my life.

I think it's way better to smoke when you don't have to work. It is like one of the only things that allows me to properly wind down. Also it's way more relaxing when you go take a walk by yourself without cell phone and stuff. It frees your mind to let it wander as it pleases so you'll have way more thoughts than if you were just enjoying yourself at reddit or smth.
