For around 16 years now I have been smoking pretty much everyday. 

Sure, there were some days/weeks and sometimes months where I went without the green herb, but all those added up together probably doesn’t even add up to a year.

I was actually the person who would walk away when everyone else was smoking, but I guess eventually I was drawn in and smoked whenever everyone else was smoking.

Then suddenly I “levelled up” at work and was making more than I thought I would at that age… so suddenly it dawned on me… “hey, why not just buy some myself”?

Well, it started…. Funny thing is, I used to smoke and drive all the time… like literally smoking while driving and ashing out the window… but then weed became legal here, and since then I never smoked in my car or while driving ever again.

My logic was, well, before they weren’t really looking for people smoking in their car, but then when literally anyone over a certain age can get it then sure they upped the lookout.

Fast forward to today… I am not the same person I was all those years ago so maybe the person I am now can go without smoking and be better… 

The way I see it

Cons of quitting:

Breaking habit
Might distract me from a good routine
Can’t really think of much more lol

Pros of quitting:

Probably best for my health
Get to save lots of money
All that time going to the store, rolling, gas and kms…

Maybe I am just talking myself into it or out of it.

I AM trying to lose weight and I am very aware what happens to the appetite when you stop smoking cold turkey.

Also the intense vivid dreams might be overwhelming lol imagine almost 20 years of pent up rem sleep… Maybe if I learn to lucid dream I can actually have a whole dimension for myself.

Never heard of lucid dreaming? The way I explain it is like this. Imagine you are able to control your dreams. The way I did this once was, imagine the scene in the matrix when Trinity and Neo are in a blank white room before asking guns to show up…

So a blank room, like the Hyperbolic Time Chamber in dragon ball z, and you can populate it with anything you think of…

There are limitations though that I guess the brain cannot render… I can’t shout guns.. or lasers out of my hands and have the environment react accordingly… maybe with more practice this can be an interesting experiment. 

So now that I am writing this can be the sign that I should probably lay off the weed, thus save money, lose weight, and master lucid dreaming with a vivid backlog to work with…. 

Thanks #hive #inleo #silvergoldstackers for letting me vent and come to a conclusion… 

I don’t think I can just open a word document and type this out, hive is more than what people give it credit for.
