After a heavy, intense session in the gym, I felt it was a great 'reward' for me. I'd shower and eat first, of course, then smoke and relax and ultimately have a great nights sleep.
I used to do the same thing - workout, shower, eat, then smoke and play video games. Every night.
It was a lot of fun, especially because I'm one of those people when I smoke, my video game skills are on a whole 'nother level and I'd kick ass in Halo all night.
I initially stopped smoking because it (oddly) started giving me panic attacks. Apparently this is more common than I thought, even though it's supposed to relax you.
Now I'm to the point where I just kinda grew out of it. I still do it occasionally, but nowhere near what I used to.
On another note, has anyone here ever noticed the opposite of what's supposed to happen and you actually get improved motor skills while stoned? Aside from the video game thing where I play way better than normally (and there is a lot of hand-eye coordination involved in gaming), I would also do things like pickup basketball games and would always play a hell of a lot better when I smoked before.
Idk, for some reason my focus gets much better and I see things I normally wouldn't.
