Fuck reading the last page or two of this thread.
I was thinking about the question Drew posed. I thought about it sober, and then thought about it while high. Here's my thinkings:
I like to get high because, well, it's fun. It makes everything more fun. I could be bored around the house with nothing to do, or I could get high and have fun. That may sound unmotivated and lazy, but it's just a point. Like, would you rather do chores sober, and be bored the whole time, or do them high and enjoy yourself. I'm not saying you can't enjoy chores sober, but they're more fun while high.
I never let weed get in the way of my life. The most best advice I ever got about weed before I started smoking (on grasscity) was "Don't let your life revolve around weed, weed should revolve around your life."
I feel more creative while high and enjoy drawing and writing more. Can I do this sober, of course, but I generally like the results of my work better when I do it high.
As for the spiritual aspect, idk, i find that shrooms can be pretty spiritual, but that's not really why I do them. I do them because it's cool and it's a different way to perceive the world. I find that I'm more open to being spiritual while high or tripping than while sober.
So, yeah, that's my 2 cents. I hope it didn't sound like all I do is sit around inside while high, I enjoy being in nature the most while high / tripping, but if I have the option of being inside and doing nothing while sober or doing nothing while high, I'll choose the latter.
