    Since you agree, may I inquire about your opinion on ambition

    What I mean is, I still see myself smoking all day everyday if I ever were to “make it”. Say we are billionaires, what would we do all day?

    I would feel terrible about owning more than I need, burning fuel for selfish reasons and truthfully could get the best products tailor made so would not need to consume anything after for quite a while

    I still believe at that point I would be fucked up on weed and growing it.

    I don’t know if this mindstate is wrong anymore. Capitalism is geared towards hedonism

      The problem I see with the anhedonia is that it comes from the cannabis replacing all the pleasurable chemical signals in your brain that come from other stuff.

      If you basically have a nice farm in the country, fuck-you money, etc, and all the weed you’d ever want, then yes, you could be happy, in a way, smoking 24/7. But you’d never get anywhere beyond that, because the pleasure of doing anything else would be hard to feel, and it would be way easier to feel happy from the weed.

      That’s one reason I save it for rare occasions now.

      Of course, the problem with my theory above is that I also stopped because it was no longer fun.
