Definitely smoking less now that I'm working full time. Just don't find enough time to smoke and chill. Otherwise yes I do smoke it - all about balancing work and play.

 

Yeah definitely. That and working out have been life savers for my mental health. I actually really enjoy hours where no one else is really online or I know I won't get pinged (team is really good with communications barring intense circumstances) and getting high, listening to some light RnB, and ripping through deliverables or grinding on a model. Again, not advisable in high pressure moments or situations but when you just have a long list of tasks and no one but yourself in the way. 

 

Throughout high school and college, I have not smoked, drank, vaped, etc. I still don't.

But last year, the fall of my junior year, I bought a shitload of edibles and got high every fucking day and night for at least six weeks. The first time I tried it, I (stereotypically) thought they weren't working. But then the television started to look SO weird, and I proceeded to have a great experience with my two friends. 

I haven't done it since that time period because I think it makes me generally lazy and uninterested in life, which isn't productive. But I probably would do it again after I am more established in life.
