I learned how to keep detached, impassible, zen-like while facing most situations. I learned how to control my behavior (the Art of Stalking) and how to deal with people. I learned how to percieve their real intentions, almost like if i were able to read their thoughts. And i learned how to influence them somehow (but its FAR easier and more effective when im stoned). I learned how to percieve the world in diferent ways, how is to be in an alterated state of consciousness, and so i realized how our "normal" way of perception is somehow arbitrary, and not the "real", "right" one. And the list goes on... but right now im way too lazy to keep thinking about it... anyway, smoking weed was the most useful thing that happened in my life. :jointsmile:
You just took the words right out of my mind. For a while there I thought I was just crazy.
