I was a stoner and lost years of my life because while I wasn’t a total loser (I was making bank as a swe) I didn’t make much forward momentum.

I quit cold turkey a few years ago and now my vice is maybe I’ll drink a couple of beers or wine a couple times a year on special occasions.

I am much better creatively compared to just thinking I’m creative because weed knocked my IQ down by 20-40 points and anything seems “interesting” and groundbreaking there lol.
