From around 14 and a half to 23 and a half I was stoned the whole time. Occasionally a day where I would only smoke in the evening, but those were few and far between. I took one break literally during this time for like 3 days and then I was back full storm. This year though, I've forced myself to take a solid month off. It was before the summer solstice, like 33 days w/o. I was meditating and I felt the vibe of something like a lent calling to me....Giving up that which I love so much, as a ritual of praise and thanks for the blessings I'm given.it was very rewarding for me, and since I have taken 2 smaller breaks, both near 13 days
It really gave me a more through perspective on how cannabis truly effecting my awareness and consciousness trends on a daily basis....which is something that many people are unable to put your finger on, since their recent experiences have no reference for what its like to not be stoned lol.
Weed doesn't really hinder my mental lucidity, unless i sit around and go over board on a particular night. Used to work in a restaurant, and it wasn't helpful there lol. Really though my memory doesn't seem hindered by being stoned, it induces a degree of abstraction to my thought patterns. But i am a poet, so I am regularly using these kinds of abstract patterns w/o drugs. Being a server it sucked, because I was less able t speed up with the fast-pacedpatterns of a Friday night rush. In terms of mental clarity and coherentspeech patterns though, I rarely feel 'too stoned' to function, it just makes my expression more 'out of the box'.
When i took my month break I was waiting for some big increase in mental prowess, but I was relatively unimpressed. It made my speech patterns a little more automated...as in needing less conscious mental focus to arrange one's words.bt even when I'm stoned and 'in the moment' I rarely have trouble producing articulate arrangements, especially when the situations calls for it
