“The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.” - Socrates

    I agree mostly, but my weed use usually inspires me to get off my ass and do something, not the other way around, let alone all the other people I know living pretty great lives. I don’t think it’s fair to paint it all the same

      Yeah, I was kind of with them for a second, but caricaturing weed with after school special stereotypes kind of ruined their point.

      Totally agree, I love to do things high: clean, chores, yard work, going for walk, sleeping, cooking, showering. But weed is expensive if you’re not growing it yourself, I’ve spent thousands on weed and I’m still a broke unemployed fuck. I just started tapering my cannabis use and its so fucking hard but I’m taking different medications, that are actually prescribed by a psychologist. I feel a lot better and want to do more things with my life then I get hit with the crushing weight of capitalism and realize I can’t even help myself where I am… god I need am edible rn

        As someone who is also stuck in this capitalist hell, I get it, hard choices where there probably didn’t need to be, just because greed. Don’t let them tell you that not having money is a personal failing, it’s them failing society.
