Aye, I used to be like that, I'd smoke it all the time, it is very enjoyable. The trouble was that I was a bit sad and depressed at the time, so as well as using it for social situations and just to have some fun, i would be self medicating with it. The trouble also was, i did not have a job, so would while away the hours stoned while doing all the regular things in life you do.
Nowadays, or when i choose to go back to it, I would use it in moderation, and make sure I had a job etc, find the right balance. Because, the thing is, when you leave it alone for a while, you get a much better and fresh kick from it when you sit down to a smoke.
Like, i have been told it is much better not to smoke it during the day, even when you do have days off, as it is much healthier for your system, and you will get a better kick at night when you sit down to your film or whatever.
It can be great for creativity, but you still have to keep a solid grip on your self editing of course, and, y'know, don't use it all the time, but it can kickstart inspiration sometimes... writing of any kind... although I would not recommend drawing while stoned, it can give you good focus, but can strain your hand, as your bones get a little weaker under the influence of marajuana. Painting would be ok though, as there is not as much strain there as leaning down intensely with a pencil trying to get a drawing right.
Booze...forget about it....if I go back to that, I will just have a couple of beers now and again, again, if you leave it alone, and only have a couple occasionally , you get a much better kick, and it is far healthier for you that way of course.
