While he does have a point about income increasing , he ' s does not have the correct take on it . Housing prices and the cost of living have increased considerably faster than wages it doesn ' t matter whether or not income has increased if it isn ' t keeping pace with necessary expenditures . <| sep |> I agree completely on it being better as a reflective tool rather than a creative tool , at least for my daily earthly activities . I use it to fill up the reservoir of creativity , but need something else to turn the spigot on . My work takes an enormous amount of left brain concentration which is inherently incompatible with weed it seems . So I usually work in sprints of a few weeks in duration where I don ' t use weed . This works well as a tbreak too . If I can ' t get into the groove of my work , modafinil is there to assist . This lets me concentrate and get shit done , still somehow able to tap into that creative reservoir filled up in those times when I ' m not working through meditation and spiritual plant use . I ' m not incapable of working while using cannabis I have done that a lot I just feel like I ' m abusing it compared to how useful it is in a spiritualmeditation context . I feel I ought to reserve it for those contexts .
