I smoked pot for many years on the party scene, but it wasn’t until I hit middle age that I really began to appreciate everything it had to offer me.
Back in the day my friends and I were going out to party all the time.
The drinks flowed, and we did any kind of drugs we could get our hands on. Like I said, it was a crazy period in my life. The weed was just one of many “party favors” that we would indulge in as a way to get absolutely blotto. My hard-partying days are behind me, and my relationship with cannabis has evolved into something much healthier. When used properly, cannabis can help your body and your mind in many exciting ways, it’s all a matter of application. For example, when you are trying to get as wrecked as possible you might pack several grams worth of cannabis into a blunt. Smoking such a massive quantity of marijuana will bypass the medical benefits and send you right to Stoney Land. However, if you pack up a small bowl of cannabis and toke on it, you might find your mind starting to expand. You might get exciting new thoughts, or bursts of creativity, which is why I always keep some cannabis handy when I want to write in my journal. Cannabis also helps with introspection, which is why more and more therapists are using it as a holistic tool for self exploration. It’s fine to use cannabis to party and get high, but please know it has many other uses!
