The same drugs have very different effects, depending on set (that's your expectations) and setting (the environment in which you take them)..

I don't know if thats necessarily true. Psychedelics certainly are majorly affected by set and setting but they can also take you by surprise. I can speak from personal experience that it is possible to have very intense, and often unexpected spiritually moving psychedelic experiences. Hope that isn't too OT though

Buzzby, very well put! For me it has also changed my ambitions. You begin to realize that you might be wasting all your time and energy on petty things that don't really matter. I love to make music and though I don't necessarily strive to become famous with it, when I'm high I get extremely motivated to create.

Some days I might just be sitting around the house and then I'll get a bit buzzed and I'll have the ambition to go out and get things done, whatever those thing might be.

Weed's only lowered my ambition to participate in the things in life that have no real significance.

It Changes your ambitions, or helps you to see your real ambitions. Sometimes school will seem pointless, unless you really doing something that interests you. When I started smoking weed in College I skipped my classes and hopped on a bus to go to a better university and meet with the students and researchers there. I also started being an activist, and lobbied congress with postcards.

Now I'm living in China, exploring business oppritunities and persuing an idea that I had from smoking.

Just go to a bit against teh grain...

Marijuana helped give me the focus and ambition to pursue a law degree.

Before that I was just looking into business.

So yeah, it definitely changed my ambition.

I can only speak for its affect on me, but marijuana has not lowered my ambition in the least.

I rose to the top of my field (was a regional manager for five outlets) in my first career. Currently I run a small, self-supporting website and hold another grown-up job. I have consistently been the top producer where ever I have been employed.

An ideal employee, I am never late, only call in sick when I am really sick (3X last 2 years) and will be upfront about my mistakes.

If anything, I believe marijuana helps me to focus my manic energies and has contributed to my success.

Many would say that I haven't. My values don't jibe well with those of the mainstream culture and "sanity" is largely a measure of how closely you conform to the norms, i.e. "crazy" people see things differently than the "normal" people.
