I remained Stoned off my Ass 24/7 for the better part of these past two decades in SPITE of it not making my life easier, not because of it. In no way shape or form because of it, really.
For the lesser part of these past two decades, something like 6 - 8 years of it, I was completely sober. I was going to College for a lot of that, Environmental Studies, Hah!!
Think I have like, 3 courses left till I could get my degree and I ain't ever goin back to finish that shit. I mean, it's an Environmental Studies degree. About as valuable as the cardboard it was printed on.
Spent a lot of time at these Silent Meditation Retreats too. On and off for 4 years, probably served around 15 ten day courses and sat 5 of em. Was meditating 2 hours a day outside of courses for a year. No weed, no drugs, Nothin.
And it was cool. But it got really...Isolated. Really Boring. Everything was like, Too Easy. And after a while, far from feeling like I was Me, like I was living the Best Me I could be, I just felt more isolated and lonelier and hollower.
And then the Pandemic hit and my entire life fell apart on me in spectacular fucking fashion, and in doing so....I suddenly found myself again. I felt more alive than I had felt for all those years. And it Fucking Sucked, but it was also Everything to me. It is Everything to me.
Marijuana is like a trigger that puts me completely into this side of life. No halfway in-between shit, it's just like a portal straight over to this side for me. It's kinda wild.
And yeah, it may just all be the vicissitudes of life that I'm riding out here, as I'm sure it is now that I think about it, lol. But regardless - I fucking Love Marijuana, and I'ma be honest with y'all cause I'm fucking tired of everyone's fucking bullshit takes on this one and their Holier than Thou takes. But I fucking Love Adderall too! Love it Love it LOVE IT!!
I mean, I was put onto it the Summer going into my Freshman year of high school and it did completely fucking change my life and overwhelmingly in the positive, though it wasn't without its own set of difficulties. Like how I started buying all my friend's Adderall that I could come my Junior year of high school, heh heh. But hey - Junior year burnout is a real fucking thing and LSD fucking Had my back come Senior Year time.
Senior Year time was also Vyvanse time, 60mg Vyvanse....Shit is the Rolls Royce of Stimulants, God fucking damn was that stuff the Best. Paired with LSD? Fucking God-Tier. Oh yeah, and this was fucking Suburbs of Chicago yet I was magically able to find a guy to buy acid off of, and it was the fucking Real Deal, Fucking Always knock you on your ass, 'Angle Grinder to the Ego for hours on end show you every last fucking Cringe thing you have ever said over and over and over and tear you apart' Quality of shit, fucking phenomenal stuff.
It really fucking felt like the Universe was hooking me up with that one, it was just too retardedly lucky. I found what was probably the one dude in those Suburbs, that area, who had access to that quality of stuff, and he was a bike-ride away. Luckily, I knew just how insanely fortunate I was and holy hell did I make the absolute fucking most out of it. Whooooweeee, Senior Year was....Transformative.
Some of the best experiences of my life, and I've had quite a lot of beautiful experiences in my life, I don't say it lightly. They were truly fucking beautiful and fucking perfect experiences, was like I was able to give myself that coming of age experience with LSD and it helped me to grow as a Man (Ape) in such an immense way for me... I am eternally grateful for LSD and those experiences that I had at that pivotal period of my life.
It also Locked me the fuck in to being the Unhinged and absolutely insane Ape that I am. And I wouldn't ever dare change a single fucking thing about any of that!! STONED APE 4 LYFEEEE!
But yeah, we were Just skateboarding around, swimming, going to our other buddies place and chain smoking out front and getting stoned and just fucking around tripping.....Me and my best buddy that is, who was the greatest friend one could ever have for a time like that. We tripped together so many times, fucking miss that kid... That's a whole massive story in itself, Adam...Fucking, most beautiful Kid I done ever known, hands down. RIP Adam...😢
Ummmmm.....What am I posting about here anyways? Haaahaha! Just scrolled up to check and found "I remained Stoned off my Ass 24/7..." at the top, so yeah! I'd say I kept on the subject pretty damn well here!!
Weed don't make life any easier for me - quite the opposite. But also - Playing Video Games on Easy is hella Gay and Boring and things are Much More Fucking Fun playing things on Hard Mode, and for me, Marijuana serves as a solid tool for me to be able to adjust that difficulty slider.
Then to keep from getting too sleepy and from getting sluggish - ya got Adderall. And for anyone saying it turns everyone into Zombies who takes it - No, it makes YOU into a zombie when YOU take it, that is if you have taken it and are basing your take off of that. I am Stupidly Emotional of a child and for me, it makes life in this fucking insane World with its fucking Insane demands, manageable.
And no, I didn't start taking it because I was smoking weed and having trouble focusing, I wasn't smoking weed till my Junior Year and was put onto Adderall two years prior to that. And it really did change my life in massive ways and I felt like myself, like I could be MYSELF, for the first time since....I was like a little kid, before societies demands started to kick in bit by bit.
Björk's album 'Post' is really fucking good. Always warms my heart thinking of Björk throwing a bunch of little things off of cliff sides and imagining what would happen to her body, imagining it getting all mangled and busted the fuck apart. Ya know, so she could go home and feel that much safer and closer to her Love, having imagined her body getting all fucked up from crashing down the cliff. So fucking Poetic.
