Do way more = actually have the energy and motivation to do the things I want/need to do rather than rot all day

    Honestly the only real downside I can think of is the damage smoking everyday does to your lungs, which is already become enough of a problem for me that I've had to switch to edibles

    I know someone's gonna bring up vaping but that's still inhaling heated plant matter which is basically the same thing as smoking and vaping is most of what I did so I know it damages the lungs

    Seriously hope I haven't done permanent damage to myself but that's just another reason to get high

    Going to take a little tolerance break starting tomorrow tho, this week no getting high until the Elden Ring DLC drops so I can properly enjoy it

      I mean anecdotally, I did a very similar thing to that for about 8 years straight, and towards the tail end I joined a roller derby team and my athletic endurance was better than ever, and at its best when I was fully lit. Great for lifting weights too.

      Found it to be wonderful for practicing things you already mostly knew how to do, but more challenging for learning entirely new things. But lung capacity was an absolute non-issue for me, personally. I always attributed that to the extra deep breaths and breath-holding that went with the hobby.
