Weed helps me...

Absolutely. I have trouble understanding C++... Until I get high. But seriously, I always toke before I write code etc.

My code is much more thought through and highly efficient when I write it high. I guess I'm too lazy to type a shit load only to back space it... so I think more?

The funny shit is that I work for a univ. writing code for cancer and virus research. All of my results have been accurate (checked by scientists) so far... :)

I wrote a 4-nested SQL query the other day that I think I never would have thought of if I weren't completely rocked by pot.

When I'm high I can speak more computer languages simultaneously (embedding javascript in php w/ mysql calls).

I think my problem when I'm sober is I can't stop thinking about how much there is to do and my thought process gets clouded with anxiety. When I'm high I just start bangin' away at the project and don't even speculate how long it will take. It gets me past my writers block.

I've had to debug C and fortran90 shit mixed together. That was a ton of fun. Fuck LAPACK. Fuck BLAS. Those can be a pain to get installed/working.

Doing the upper-level CS classes I have the same relief. I can think way outside the box when I write code. LISP is harder when I'm high though but recursive stuff is ok. So's upper-level math.

I'm also better at mixing records together when I'm high. I've recorded both sober and non-sober.

you know what? i don't doubt it dude. weed is weed. its probably working for you as a stimulant... just like any other stimulant. its not what everyone stereotypes it to be. but then again, we are talking 2 different drugs... sativa and indica.

Man weed helps me realize so many things. I smoked a fat bowl and (you know those super stoned moments by yourself) realized that I wanted more then to stay here in the midwest, and realized i probably wouldnt do anything with skateboarding living in the cold midwest. after my best friend moved to florida started meeting new influences and pushed himself to the point where he is getting flow from zero. it hit me like a ton of bricks man, now eveyrone is leaving for college and i am leaving for the west coast (so. california) and people are like mane u are crazy but the feeling is right, better then anything ive ever felt. the feeling man, you can do anything you want if you put your mind to it in this country is freeing.

YES, weed does increase my abilities... my abilities to intake food. Seems like I can eat the whole house and never find the bottom of my stomach :lurk: . Amazing, this weed stuff :canabis:.

Happy Toking :bandit:

Absolutely.

Bud helps me so much when it comes to designing graphics. Way back in the day when I didn't smoke I always tried to do something in Photoshop and would get so frustrated that I would say fuck it. Now I'd have to say I'm not too bad and I always do my best works when I'm really stoned.

I find that cannabis helps people to focus, like a tunnel vision where you can be very involved in the task you are doing. It helps you to get into a trance. In college I would do much better on my programming when I was high. My math class was the opposite however, but I never really did like math so perhaps thats why.

Haha...my math skills are terrible to begin with, but if I'm high, I find myself reading the same notes/pages over and over again w/o internalizing anything.

Pot definitely helps me to focus on simple tasks, things that require patience and some delicacy. It's like the old stereotype of a stoner staring at a blank wall (hey...that's not a stereotype, I do that all the time!), I find myself being able to block "unwanted" thoughts from my conscience.
Things like sex, stretching, painting, building stuff (like grow cabinets, hehe), and especially cleaning, are all great to do while high. That was one all inclusive list huh? Sounds like a good day to me.

Hey it's rainy here and I've only had/done three of those things. I'm off.

p.s. just put some bogglegum bubblehash in my bubbler...delicious (and a tongue-twister).

If I enjoy doing a task, no matter how simple or complex, mmj makes me more focused onto that task. But if it's something I hate doing or don't enjoy- no matter how simple or complex- mmj makes me hate it and I get this urge to stay the fuck away from it even more (than I'm sober).

But if I was say, customising / restoring a car, I would be able to do all the planning stoned, but for sure, I wouldn't touch that welding set or dismount that 2000cc engine blazed offa my skull.

Completely agree. I've got an anger problem and without weed I'd probably be in jail for blowing up on that asshat who keeps cutting me off without using their turn signal :bat:
