One point is that you may be depriving your mind of the opportunity to build these skills on its own. If you rely on drugs to shift your brain behavior, you may lose (or at least not improve) your ability to reason from first principles, focus into a complex topic, or draw creative connections without entering an altered state. You may or may not care about that, but it's worth considering for others who may read your post.
- rusk 8y agoNo, you're right. Your concerns are real but they apply to any kind of external dependency, be it cannabis, alchohol, cars or air conditioning. I wouldn't suggest that you rely on this as a creative process, but altered states can provide a different perspective. I would say though, speaking personally that I mightn't have developed certain ways of thinking at all otherwise.
