WHY I STOPPED SMOKING MARIJUANA; A.K.A. " REEFER "
I recently saw a brother I used to smoke reefer with. His eyes were so bloodshot that I almost slammed on my brakes, thinking he was a traffic light that had turned red. He's just as smart and articulate (in a street kind of way, like I once was ) as he used to be. However, not a damn thing has changed about him, for better or worse. So if there is an argument for not smoking weed, aside from the carcinogens it contains, it ZAPS motivation.
I have to say that reefer is the greatest afrodesiac, ever. It contributes to the economy; who do you think buys up most potato chips, visine, and those meat things made out of cow tongues? And if you need a good laugh, oh boy.
I was once riding along a country road, and the group of guys I was riding with were smoking reefer. I held my breath until they finished. Then, we happened to see some cows that had broken out of a pasture. Guess what? Instead of running off into the wild, blue yonder, those big fools stood OUTSIDE the fence, and stuck their heads back into the damn pasture to eat.
I must have laughed at those dumb cows for a week straight. I made sure that every teacher in "get-high" school heard about that experience. All the teachers smoked weed, so telling them the full story was fun.
Anyway, oh, I just thought about something else. When I was in college, a weed-smoking, slack roomate, who successfully tempted me to smoke some "kind bud" on two occasions, left his bedroom door open. In the middle of the floor was the biggest damn pile of drawls (underwear) that I'd ever seen. It looked like one of those African termite mounds. When asked for an explanation, this fellow physics major explained that when he ran out of dirty underwear, instead of washing the dirty underwear, he'd just go out and buy new underwear. After a while, all of those drawrrls stacked up.
The first night I saw this, I thought I was going to have to go to the emergency room for laughing too hard. Even the damn dog and cat we kept looked like they were laughing at that big ass pile of underwear (or laughing at me).
Finally, dude put the dirty drawls in the washing machine. Problem was that dude didn't bother to get the wet drawers out of the washing machine for a couple of days. They molded the fuck up, and he ended up rewashing the underwear, TWICE.
Once again, I negotiated going to the hospital.
If you smoke weed, please, be wary of subtly becoming a person with low motivation. Luckily, we can learn from observation, rather than experience. Just look at the lack of motivation some weed smokers have. A real possibility exists that you MAY look back one day and wish you had used some incentive to do great things.
