speaking for myself....

some good things about smoking is it helps me remain stable.
i realized a long time ago that i am hyper and impulsive
when im sober i get bored very easily and my thoughts consume me
after smoking a lil bud everything slows down and life is liveable
i can enjoy the small things much more like hearing birds sing
and feeling the wind in my face.i can just be calm and relax and enjoy life
just a few minutes during a hectic day to take a time out really helps
me be a better person.

some not so good things about smoking bud are that yhe damn sack
always runs out.it can be expensive if your use increases and sometimes
if you get stoned too early in the day you get burned out and its hard to move.that kind of kills plans and is a waste of time

compared to all the other methods of escape and recreational intoxicants
smoking bud is the most mellow and harmless of them all

drink one can of beer or smoke one bowl
i bet the beer will have you more altered and feeling unplesant longer
than any bowl could
