It’s not going to kill you the way heroin is but that doesn’t mean it’s not evil. Outside of horror movies and fucking, pot has no place in your life. It kills your drive and makes you lazy. The fact that most of the people I work with smoke it while they do their job blows my mind. It’s like drinking a pint of vodka at work. You’re not better when you’re high, you’re worse. Shit, you can’t even remember what you were talking about ten seconds ago.
The worst times to smoke pot are:
1- In your formative years.
When you’re in your early 20s you’re supposed to be figuring out what you want to do with your life. You know, really sinking your teeth into something. If you’re high, this hunger for life is replaced with a hunger for chips and you basically stay frozen in time. This minor setback can ruin your life because you will come out of the smoke haze in your 30s when it’s too late to find a vocation.
2- Video editing.
When editors are stoned, they go off on ridiculous tangents that don’t help the final product at all. They’ll add seven layers of beats beneath a clip and then be reluctant to cut it because it took so much work. You need to have a crystal clear idea of the final product when editing and pot gives you an Alice in Wonderland mentality that makes you wander around FinalCut with no idea where you’re going.
So yeah, outside of The Stepfather and eating out your girlfriend, lay off the pot!
