I guess that comes down to that whole it affects us all in different ways thing, he's able to maintain his normal brain capacity (which isn't really alot to brag about!) and his reflexes are pretty decent.
i believe it as it was the case with me. Might be a slight case however, of building up a resistance and being more high than stoned to the point of immobilization and eyes closing. Even the high comes on like a warp in spacetime continuum when one doesn't abuse it but still has it in ones system. i believe science calls this the negative tollerance of marijuana, ie, the more you smoke the less you need. however, if abused, i believe this is no longer the case.
Good point about quiting cigs...definately way harder to quit-i never would have believed it but true. About weed, my goal is to smoke around once every few months to once every 6 months. no smoking in public, at parties or with people i dont know too well. My goal is not to smoke for recreation but for spiritual experience-unless there's a special occasion with a special friend-maybe.
i used to smoke doing all sorts of activities, bottom line is, unless you smoke outside, brush you teeth and wash your hands after, people can smell the stink of it as can you yourself. Also, on people like myself, unless it is some crazy inebriating shait, for the most part, i can do just about anything. However, i am aware that one tends to lose focus, dream away and may well confuse minor things here and there, due to things like dreaming away or even hyperalertness. For example, some things are much easier when not stoned, obviously, and spoil the high or stone as well. Best to keep such things apart.
Being high or stoned all the time is like living in another world. Kindof sad, in a way.
I'm really happy that i can enjoy the world as it is now and even smoking is seeming like something more adventurous and meaningful now too.
