I love it but it's anti-intellectual as fuck and it's hindering my intellectual performance (and I'm not the most intellectually performant guy to begin with if you catch my drift). Have there been any significant authors who were writing under the influence or had some sort of love/hate relationship with it?

I used to smoke it everyday until I started to believe that a massive tidal wave of malevolence coming to drown me and I had best not be fucking high when it comes, so I stopped. I smoked once more about 6 months later with an old childhood friend and we played vidya and that was cool.

I sometimes used to think I'd pissed myself, I'd be checking if there was wetness. Sometimes my heart would race for no reason. Sometimes I would see like movies, cartoony things like waking dreams. I got stuck in the corner of my friend's living room at a party one night because the floor tilted up on a diagonal, I remember some chick coming over to say hi and I was telling her I'm stuck in the corner. Felt like I was inside an iron maiden one night and latet that same night had tunnel vision like seeing the world through a cardboard tube, the kind you used to pretend was a hand-held telescope.
Apparently weed does this to some people, but I don't really know why, I just don't use it now which is fine because I converted to Islam.

I used to be a daily weed smoker for years up until a couple of months ago and it is seriously a fucking cancer. I don’t know who pushed it as a benign drug but it legitimately corrodes your short term memory and sleep cycle on top of just being a shitty drug. Seriously, when was the last time anyone smoked weed and accomplished anything? Don’t get me wrong if used once a month or so you will be completely fine and notice basically no sides but people try it and get instantly seducted in and end up smoking way more often then they went in intending to do. The high is nice because it makes you completely fine doing literally nothing but sitting in your own fluids. That’s it. On top of that it has a tendency to make people I paranoid as fuck while they’re high (though few people actually blame the drug for this, it took me years to realize that I wasn’t getting paranoid because of set/setting but just because that’s what weed does a lot of the time.)
