Pot opens your perspective, but it also slows your mind down. Like imagine you have your thumb over a hose and you take it off. That’s smoking pot. Your thinking (represented by the water) is wider reaching in surface area, but not as sharp and decisive. Or like imagine there’s a guy bending over and he spreads his bum, the bum is your mind. The trick is not to do it to much, then you reap both benefits.
