Hi Guys

I would’ve loved to comment on your facebook page but am fearful that my comment could be seen by those in my line of work who are friends with me on Facebook. As an artist our industry is often regarded as the most densely populated with dope smokers than any other. Some artists smoke under the false pretense that weed fuels creativity etc. which for me is a bunch of junk! I smoke once an idea has fully flourished in my sober mind and I then have to implement it. 

I’m now 25 years old and have been smoking since I was 14. I smoked right through high school and varsity and still smoke to this day as a working man. I also have friends in the world of academia who have continued to smoke well after our university days… some of them are pursuing their Master degrees or PhD’s. Nothing makes me feel better than a spliff when I get home, at the end of a hectic day in the office or studio – just before I start cooking! 

I prefer not to light up before I do anything serious because I get jittery if the task at hand requires above-average control of my hands and/or mental focus. I also don’t smoke before I read anything otherwise I end up re-reading the same sentence/s over and over again without comprehending what I’ve read.

Mary-Jane for me is more of a relaxing agent which also allows me to enjoy simple things in life with greater enthusiasm like watching movies, having sex, art production, laughter, etc. Besides being a ‘highly’ effective relaxant, marijuana has also allowed for (what feels like) a heightened sense of consciousness in me. I am able to assess social situations with level objective criticism unless of course my boyfriend pisses me off, then I go berserk, but that’s just me :)

Also, it’s great for insomnia and nasty flu bugs which affect ones appetite. Have I mentioned how much pain and suffering it’s brought into my life through excessive use?
