I have only really used weed, booze and Dxm to make big decions in my life but I would like to know if that's bad? Like if I should be making these decisions on my own without drugs. But I find the drugs really bring out the best thoughts in me and have brought me to making what I think are better decisions in my life. What's your take on it?
 
I have made many a decision while drinking or drugged. What I decide on often becomes a challenge when I have to face it sober. Some things have turned out ok, but in reality what seems like a good idea and the time becomes a chore at best, and heartbreaking at worst. I feel you, I agree that I think better with something (I think), but the real world isn't like us. Best luck bro!
 
GABA-ergics and opiates are probably the worst substances to make important decisions on because you really dont give a shit when youre high.
 
Sometimes with all the weed and psychs I get stuck in indecision and inertia. Generally not smart, but I've made some of the big decisions in my life while on benzos. Sometimes deciding one way or the other regardless; is better than indecision.

I have friends who've made all sorts of GREAT decisions while on acid or shrooms or MDMA. (e.g. one swore off tobacco and threw out everything smoking related he had, another with personal anger issues). But when the afterglow of the psych faded, it all went back to normal.
 
I echo what Seyer said, I can't think of a good (major life) decision I've made on GABA-ergics, and I've made more than a couple.
 
Part of me likes to think, when you make major decisions while completely mashed but still functional; it's your subconscious playing the bigger role in your decision making, which can be good. Compared to stone cold sober decisions made when you're completely self-conscious.

For example, your self-conscious self may to be too pussy to make decisions that would be in your best interest long term, but are more cozy short term. Like breaking up with a controlling GF, or deciding to finally stop taking shit from someone, fear of success/failure decisions etc.. They don't call it liquid courage for nothing..

But if too fucked up, your id takes control over your super-ego and you do things like quit your job because it's a beautiful day and you don't want to go in.
 
I think if you feel that you can only make big decisions while under the influence of something, than that's definitely something to re-evaluate bc it's not going to benefit you in the long run. However, I've definitely found that my mind and my perspective is so much clearer and I'm able to ponder and make big decisions about things on certain drugs that I'm normally so indecisive about, especially psychedelics. So, it's not necessarily bad, only you know yourself. As long as you still maintain confidence in your ability to make decisions without substances too, I don't see how it's a problem. :)
