Alcohol isn't a habitual thing, but I'm definitely a social drinker, and I do a lot of socializing.
Weed, though, is a near-daily thing. I was pretty wound up when I was younger and honestly think I had some weird mental health things going on. There are downsides to weed, obviously, but I feel like it has mellowed me out and actually had a major positive impact on my career. I only smoke late at night before bed, but the calming impact has helped me to deal with some pretty stressful situations with poise. It's not for everyone, but it's been great for me.

Yeah I have pretty bad ADHD that manifests itself mostly mentally with a billion thoughts firing constantly. Sort of like an asteroid field of almost all superfluous thoughts, which is extremely distracting and makes it damn near impossible to focus. It also leads to almost constant anxiety as well. While weed does have some negative effects, it slows down the field of thoughts and turns them to a more linear line and it really helps me concentrate on one thing at a time. I've always hated the "stupid stoner" cliché because it actually helps me function BETTER in some ways.
