Ive noticed something lately...
when i was a kid i could spell like none other, i rarely had any problems figuring out words or anything...
but more recently, i find myself almost constantly second guessing my spelling when i write stuff.
Makes me wonder if ive drank/smoked just too much shit. I read alot, so i dont think its removal from the subject matter...but it just bothers me...ALOT.
Anyone have any similar qualms?

Yep...same here! I'm always looking stuff up in the dictionary nowadays. I hope it's not a sign of premature senility!

I get it too. Not only that though...quite frequently I'll be talking to someone and I know there's a really descriptive word that would really sum things up...and I can never remember it. It really bugs me...I can't stand not being able to express myself, especially when its just one word away. Then I spend lots of time looking the word up. Arrrr shouldn't have smoked so much.

I must agree with you Kremlin; however, I find myself lacking in mathematics, physics, and the general hard sciences. What is wrong with me? I always thought I was an extremely intelligent person (that's why I stopped smoking weed; made me too unmotivated). But I have no regrets whatsoever experiencing psychadellics, my life simply would not be the same!

E rots your brain cells. It sizzles your brain and it damn sure feels like it while you're rolling to (and this coming from a guy who sniffed glue on the regular). E is so bad, it basically melts the cells in your brain that keep you happy and can affect so many other randomn places in your brain, one unlucky roll can cause you to never be able to speak again... ok so this is exagurating a bit (I think), but E rots the brain.

Maybe it's time we find a new form of expression/communication outside of verbal language. I always feel like when I smoke weed and since I began smoking weed, it's that the ways that I want to express myself with verbal language are totally insufficient. I see it the way McKenna said about how psychedelics force the evolution of language. So

it may be mostly bullshit, but E is terrible for your brain. According to 2 of my neuro professors (one who actually does research on E), it is the most harmful drug for the brain on a 1-time use.
just be careful man
