probably one of the reasons why people engage in self sabotage is a desire to return to a state where you possess nothing and are nothing, and therefore nothing can be expected of you... like a return to childhood

it's almost as if cannabis is subconscious amplifier so the way it benefits or harms you depends largely on what you do while high
the thing with psychedelic drugs is that they are so conditional based on the activities the user is doing while effected
since it expands the subconscious, from a psychological perspective it means that it disengages more of the ego and direct conscious mind in favor of activating more of the subconscious mind
thus you essentially are able to more effectively 'program' yourself while under the influence of cannabis
this 'brain washing' effect is the same in all psychedelic drugs - it's precisely the reason why intelligence agencies and governments have researched so extensively with psychedelic drugs and mind manipulation
when under the effects of psychedelic drugs, the mind is much more 'open' - meaning you can see and mentally experience things beyond your typical sober awareness, but also that you are more suggestible and sensitive to input
if psychedelic drugs make you more foggy and intoxicated rather than lucid then it can be because of several factors:
- your dosage is far too high for your tolerance to handle and your neurotransmitters get overwhelmed and it incapacitates you mentally
- your subconscious mind is cluttered, fragmented, you have yet to become a coherent self and thus your inner mind works against you rather than with you
- you are prone to anxiety, self-doubt, fear, and the rawness of psychedelic experiences make you incapacitated by these anxious feelings
all of these are fixable, just need to be worked with:
- doses can be adjusted
- the mind can be individuated
- the subconscious can be organized
- the nervous system can be relaxed
- trauma can be healed
- anxiety can be overcome
and these drugs are especially effective tools for actively working on these things
and weed is the mildest psychedelic drugs with the least harm on one's physical health, making it the more ideal candidate for experimentation than other psychedelic drugs
but that's why intention and action and so on are so crucial, if you don't have controlled intention for what you want to do while you're under effect of the drug and you don't have controlled actions for what you're doing while high, then it can lead to analysis paralysis which leads to brain fog and incapacitation
fight vs flight
the people who get more lazy from being high are actually surrendering to the flight instinct and going into escapism patterns such as over-eating, binge watching content or series, playing video games, etc
the thing is that weed gives an immersion factor, as most psychedelic drugs do, so whatever you're doing, you'll be slightly more immersed in, which is why being lazy also feels much better when you're high
but if you go the other way then you can harness the immersion factor, using it to stimulate neuroplasticity, and using that increased neuroplastic stimulus to steadily expand your cognitive potential by immersing in learning and creative activities which expand and reinforce neural-pathways
it's kind of like an optimization equilibrium, when you're under the effect of cannabis or psychedelic drugs then you are in a mental gym of sorts, you can train your mind like a body of muscles by focussing and using the immersion for activating deeper parts of the mind and expanding paths (hypertrophy)
or if you give into the escapism impulse then it can go the other way where you give yourself potential mental trauma from heightened psychoactivity leading to traumatic psychosis (the classic 'bad trip' story), or you can give in to escapism in more subtle ways like excess laziness and consumption and wasting the immersion factor on sin (atrophy)
like always
everything is a skill issue
it's all about what you make of it
The good thing about trading?
Even if you never become profitable, you still go on the deepest spiritual journey of your life.
You start wanting money…
you end up discovering:
Your ego issues
Your impulse control problems
Your fear of uncertainty
Your need to be right
You came for profits.
You got forced into self-awareness.
Trading really said:
“Oh you want money? Cool. First fix your entire personality.”
It’s the only industry where before paying you…
it turns you into a better human first
