Why is it so polarizing?

Even people who used to smoke a lot just can t anymore, myself included: I used to exclusively smoke until my early 20s; Now even a couple tokes make me either feel self conscious or totally overwhelmed and „braindead“.

Others have the exact opposite effect, where it makes them super relaxed or even forget all their worries to a point that they need to stop to confront their problems.

It about responsibility. Similar to why I can’t play video games for more than an hour or two anymore.

When I play games I just think about better uses of my time if I play too long. When I smoke I think about all the things I’m neglecting so I can be high.

Doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy those things anymore, but I know I won’t if I don’t have my shit taken care of
