Marijuana basically amplifies your intention, so it will do what you want in your processing, if you want to just be numb it will do that, if you want to connect more it will definitely do that, emotional processing as well, when you take THC what is actually happening is your brain is utilizing different areas within itself than it would usually, enhancing creative thought, and new perspectives
Can we replace marijuana with " children" instead? Much better makes more sense. I'm anti children. Love drugs and all alcohol and absolutely Charles Bukowski.he is the one true god
I'm not advocating either way. But a major study was done and they concluded that pot ages the brain faster than booze. I smoked a lot of pot in my youth and now drink pretty regularly. Based on hangovers I think booze is harder on the body and brain than pot. But when I was a stoner, I did know that I was in a haze. A nice haze, but in a haze.
Major study? Source? That’s utter crap. Unless the subjects in the study where limiting themselves to one drink . Getting drunk causes much more brain damage.
He's right about weedheads being worthless, braindead zombies. I drank like an animal for a decade and had a great/horrible time. When i traded it for pot, yes i feel better physically. Im not dying anymore. But im a complete doorknob. Nothing there. Just an empty shell.
His liver was fine in his old age. He lived to 73 but died of leukemia. He only drink red wine or light beers. Red wine is actually good for the liver in moderation. Not to mention, now with modern supplements, we have these things called NAC and milk thistle extract, both counter any liver damage effects of alcohol.
My 7 year lod son was hit by a drunk driver November 11, 1997 on his bicycle in front of our house. I watched him grow up in a full body cast. So I will have to disagree with Bukowski on his belief.
The most anecdotal, bullshit laden take by a pseudo intellectual drunkard, stoned out of his mind lmao. The hypocrisy without self awareness is pretty hilarious, he said this with a straight face lol.
I used to smoke alot, drink even more. There has always been a divide, a gap, between drunks and stoners, but we each got our own poison. Some people do multiple poisons though. They are the ones who truly understand the nature of addiction, without judging others.
I have to disagree. I've seen more people get destroyed by alcohol then weed. Weed has its own issues. But I'd rather be stoned and relaxed then drunk and clumsy
That wasn’t the issue he was addressing. Bukowski was saying that marijuana users lose their vitality and vigour through repeated use of the drug. In my experience, I’d agree with his assessment.
thc weirdly has a longer wd cycle (cant sleep for a week, cold sweats, emotions all over the place) than booze. Why I stopped smoking it, well one of the reasons. Better to just live a life completely sober. Alc is definitely not the thing but can play a part for a time on to the road to greatness.
So many butthurt offended weed heads in the comments. You dummy’s prove Bukowski’s point. So god damn defensive. Smoke your bullshit and keep it moving
Love this guy but this is what it looks like when your personal opinions and anecdotal evidence mean more to you than the science behind that which you wish to demonize. Remember that Bukowski was dead at 73 from cigs. Willie is 92 and still toking (well vaping) and has lived another half a lifetime since Bukowski died.
ive been a pot smoker for at least 6 years, still get the urge to smoke but i stick to alcohol and cigarettes. not because they're better vices, theyre not, but because weed tends to give me a numbness in my head like my brain was attached to an electric outlet on 200 amps.
