Tonight at sunset time I spotted a few Deer sitting out the afternoon mist. I guess these Deer really feel safe in my back yard since I don't try to hunt them, except for a few pictures now and then. Sometimes there are way more, I've seen about 30 of them run through on occasion, but these are the regulars.

Deer Chilling in the Woods!

You can see how warn down the deer trail above has gotten, they are literally living in one of my old pot plant patches from days of old!! There is still an Alaska Fish Emulsion bottle, and my old drip line to nowhere petrified in time. I guess it would still be a pretty nice patch, but I'm not sure how I would keep the Deer out??

To pot or not to pot, that is the question??

I quit smoking pot when the Corona virus hit, I remember something changes shortly after I got my first and second vaccinations, it was during the side effect period that I just stopped to help my immune system recover, I threw away the bong and never smoked again. Maybe because Corona is a lung disease, it made me more conscious about my lungs and I wanted them to be stronger just in case I had to fight the virus. I really don't know exactly why i quit, I didn't even want to quit, but somehow it just happened and I went with it.

POT Cost Benefit SWAT Analysis!

Not smoking Pot leaves me more time to spend on productive things like riding my bike, & writing my blogs on HIVE. Some other benefits I noticed after I quit the pot are... no more coughing out black pot resin stuff, no more asthma & wheezing, no more thick phlegm in my chest, and best of all, no more paranoia. Pot would make me obsessively compulsive, I would literally get paranoid about a whole bunch of little things that don't even matter to me any more, like fighting with @themarkymark?? hahaha lol

I would troll around on the internet looking for trouble hours on end while smoking bong hit after bong hit. Pot would intensify every feeling, & send me down these long and crazy rabbit holes, all dazed and confused. Don't get me wrong, Pot wouldn't be that bad if you can control it & use it sparingly. I think at times Pot can help with creativity, and that is the only strength I can think of for my pot swat analysis.

I just like to live a simple life now, I don't think I will ever go back to pot, or drinking either for that matter but that's another subject entirely. There just doesn't seem to be enough time in the day to have these kinds of habits while living a productive life. To tell the truth I'm still not nearly as productive as I could be, even after the drugs and pot are cut out of the equation.

I still find a lot of time to waste without pot, I've found all these new things that were always there that I like just as much if not more. For instance now all I have to do is catch an old movie on Youtube, movies from the previous decades that I missed when I was too dazed and confused to let them sink in.

It's funny, after I re-watched a bunch of old movies that I actually attended in the theater when I was young, i.e. Dude Where's My Car, and Encino Man, they were way funnier now off drugs than when I was on. And what's even more interesting, it was even like watching them for the first time - DUDE Where's My Brain, Oh there it is!!???! When I used to watch movies on pot, it definitely effected my concentration, so the whole time I was watching them my mind was probably wondering elsewhere.

So those are the the main difference I found after quitting the herb, I have more time, more clarity, more money, better health, more concentration, & less haziness, less paranoia, & less craziness. I really like being able to get my dopamine the natural way through every day activities, without the need to light up some green. For full disclosure I will still eat mushrooms from time to time when I can find them, especially since I used them when I went cold turkey off pot. Without Mushys I don't know if I would have been able to make the transition so cut and dry. I never say never though, I guess in the right situation I would still ingest a slice of pot if the THC was cooked with some brownies or something, but for now i'm just fine enjoying the natural beauty of these sunsets.
