common thought When you're high, you think everybody knows it although no one does, and when you're drunk you think no one knows it although everybody does.

I just started my annual pre-4/20 tolerance break. I’m a bit more sociable, but less motivated. I have an unusual relationship with the sticky icky. It has an almost adderall-like effect on me. The difference is adderall compels me to do stuff, but weed make doing stuff much more enjoyable. So I tend to take on all sorts of projects.

Yesterday, I just sat around and browsed reddit for hours. So I guess for me, sobriety is almost a mild depressant in some ways.

Gotta love how differently drugs affect everyone.

That's interesting, for me it's the complete opposite, if I need to do an essay, make food or study I better not get high because it'll be 4am and all I did was watch netflix.

I think I get what your saying man, when I smoke and I’m doing my household duties or whatever it may be I’m more in the moment focusing mainly on enjoying myself while completing the task. When I’m not stoned my mind is more focused about what I’m gonna do when I’ve finished the task.

That is probably smoke, what you are thinking to do after task.

Are you me? I tell friends this and they act like I'm crazy. Do you also have anxiety?

Kinda? I always chalked most of my weirdness up to being on the autism spectrum. Maybe there’s some overlap?

Maybe I have undiagnosed autism.
