Okay this is to the stoner gals, I have a theory and I wanna know what you think lmao
I’ve been thinking about whether smoking weed since I was 15 (26 now) has actually influenced the way I think about the world. I feel like it sometimes helps me make connections between things that I wouldn’t normally think about, but I also wonder if it’s affected my memory and my ability to actually recall and explain those connections to people.
Lately I’ve been smoking a bit less, and I feel like I’m finally putting things together that I didn’t even realise were connected before. Maybe it’s not that weed unlocked some secret level of consciousness in me, but that smoking less is helping me remember things, organise my thoughts and actually articulate what I’ve been noticing my whole life.
I’ve also noticed that a lot of the girls I talk to who think about feminism, society and questioning the way things are also smoke weed, and I’m curious if there’s any connection there. Maybe we’re just more likely to question certain social norms, or maybe we use weed as a way to sit with our thoughts and have conversations we wouldn’t normally have.
Obviously I’m not saying weed makes us more enlightened than people who don’t smoke btw but I’m genuinely curious whether it changes how we think, whether smoking less can help us think more clearly, and whether anyone else has noticed something similar in themselves.
