Daily smoker here, I feel significantly more level emotionally and really enjoy a long programming session high. Work loves it too because I find it fun to accidentally put is over time, but maybe that’s just saying I love the job and balance I’ve found. However quitting almost doesn’t feel like an option and I feel powerless to stop myself from having another joint. It’s interesting to see the reduction in self control as a side effect, it tracks with my experience.

The hard part of quitting is the first two weeks. Also, I was like you, but now that I’ve quit I understand how I thought im doing better while high, but actually wasn’t. My two cents, quit it now its not doing you good but you think it is. Also again, the hard part is the first two weeks. Lastly, music is never the same while not high that’s the worst part for me.

  I don't smoke. Neither cigarette or weed. I am a 28 year old male. I have a friend who smokes maybe twice a week. He once asked me If I would like to have one or two puff, I accepted and got high. The friend asked me to put your favourite track. I put "Hypnotised by Coldplay". I never experience music that way, I never knew that track has that many instruments, depths and layers. I closed my eyes and I could just visualize all the instruments playing in the space separately. It was just amazing experience. But I never tried after that.

    I had a musician friend in college who would smoke a joint with us and immediately retreat into his room, put on headphones and just listen to music for two hours. Surprisingly, I (audiophile but not that much of a musician) never found it too pleasant. My other friend an I would always fire up the Xbox, put on Forza (a car racing game) and go drifting on Fujimi Kaido (a fictional Japanese mountain route). I always found that absolutely mesmerizing, a weird combination of flow, speed and relaxation.

    Don't. That's exactly how I got started: music was amazing. Anything sensual gets super resolved but after a couple of years, you need to smoke simply to have the level of enjoyment you had before you started smoking. Your decision to never try again is a wise decision.

      Exactly that’s how I got started and quitting was hard. They lie when they say weed doesn’t get you addicted. Both psychologically and physically. There is a thing called Cannabinoid Hypernosis Syndrome. I got hooked and quitting was harder than I wanna admit.
