  • 30 Days of Marijuana – Conclusion

    “Is marijuana addictive? Yes, in the sense that most of the really pleasant things in life are worth endlessly repeating.” – Richard Neville This is the conclusion to my 30 days of smoking pot every (week)day experiment. If you found this page without having read the previous updates, you may find it interesting to start at the beginning.…

  • 30 Days of Marijuana – Update #3

    “They lie about marijuana. Tell you pot smoking makes you unmotivated. Lie! When you’re high, you can do everything you normally do just as well – you just realize it’s not worth the fucking effort. There is a difference.” – Bill Hicks It’s tough being an Asian pot smoker. Add some THC to already slanted eyes and they…

  • 30 Days of Marijuana – Update #2

    After two weeks of smoking pot every day, “brah”, “dude” and “man” have crept to the front of my vocabulary list such that they pleasantly pepper almost every sentence I speak brah. I’ve stopped shaving and have only been showering once a week, maximum, and when I do, I don’t like using shampoo or soap. Unnatural chemicals dude man brah…

  • 30 Days of Marijuana – Update #1

    This is the first update to this post, in which I decided, as a non-pot-smoker, to smoke every day for 30 days (weekends potentially excluded) to see what happens. As is usually the case with these types of experiments, there isn’t much to update yet. I smoked every day last week Monday-Friday and didn’t really enjoy…

  • 30 Days of Marijuana

    It feels stupid to call it “marijuana”. No one calls it that. “Hey dooood, you wanna smoke some marijuannnaa?”  Although “marijuana” sounds legit with a Hispanic accent. “Yo essay, ju wana smok sum mah-ree-wanna?” Anyway. As mentioned in yesterday’s newsletter, today starts 30 days of smoking pot every day. Whether you’ve ever been interested in smoking pot but…

  • Four Hours of Sleep – Conclusion

    This is the fourth and final update to this post, in which I decided to experiment for thirty days with getting only four hours of sleep per night with an afternoon nap as needed. These were the intended benefits of the experiment: – be more creative– be more productive– have increased lucid dreaming activity– have an expanded general…

  • Four Hours of Sleep – Update #3

    This is the third update to this post, which explains why I’m experimenting with getting only four hours of sleep per night. Unfortunately, there isn’t anything new to update in the last week. I’ve continued the sleeping schedule and have continued to experience the benefits I expounded a week ago: heightened intuition, increased wittiness, more…

  • Four Hours of Sleep – Update #2

    This is the second update to this post, where I’m experimenting with getting only four hours of sleep at night and an afternoon nap as needed. It has now been two weeks of sleeping from midnight/12:30 until 4:30 am with a 1 or 1.5 hour nap in the early afternoon around 3 pm, although I’m…

  • Four Hours of Sleep – Update #1

    This is the first update to this post, a week into an abbreviated four-hour sleep schedule. Due to the long 4th of July weekend, I only had a few nights to try to sleep only four hours since (for now) I’m not using the schedule on weekends when I’m out and about with friends, drinking, enjoying summertime activities.…

  • Four Hours of Sleep

    For the month of July, I’ll be attempting an amended sleep schedule of only four hours of sleep per night with an afternoon nap as needed. I’m not 100% sure I’ll be able to do it, and as of now, the plan is only to use the schedule during the week and possibly sleep more…
