Exactly. After a day of writing, my brain is in high-gear and I'm too amped to sleep. The weed chills me out. Love it. Especially with a couple of beers. I smoke regularly, but am far from being a burn-out or retard.
I think WHEN you started smoking has something to do with it. Those who start young seem to stunt the development of their cognative abilities. They burn out thier neural pathways before their brain has had a chance to fully develop. Same with kids who start drinking to young.
I never smoked in my youth. I was a Regan-era "just say no" kid who really thought that all drugs are bad and will kill you. I didn't start smoking weed until I was in my twenties. I used to be stressed-out with stomach ulcers and was on prozac. I hated that pharmeceutical crap. Who really wants an equivilent of an emotional straitjacket?
Weed works better (on me at least) I'm happier, less stressed and my stomach's completely healed.
And few things in life can compare to the joy of a good case of the giggles:D
