whenever i stop smoking, about a day or two after, i'm left with a warm happy feeling. and its not because i'm glad i stopped, its just this left over feeling...i cant exactly explain it does anybody else get like that? i figured i was the only one since everyone complains about quitting
its a perspective of perception, not really an essence; for what the essence is, is subjective. you cant say 'essence of the experience' because its a -different- experience. and BOTH observer's baseline and subject of experience are different in both.. experiences. imo. there are different pros and cons (to the user's subjectivity) for different levels of usage. of course, being moderate is the best for mind and favourite of most, but some allow 'the essence' to be sacrificed for being able to get stoned a lot. well, many allow it, we are humans of course, and deal with our impulses differently
I definitely feel smarter after taking a long break. It's like i'm psychic or something. "Where are my keys?" "wait, they're in my pocket." "HOW DID I KNOW THAT?!"
Maybe you are realizing that using drugs regularely are just an obstacle to happiness? I always gradually feel better after quitting, but still while having cravings.
thats what i said was not the reason. its not because i'm happy i'm sober, it just feels like your burning out, but without the tired ness
