Take Advantage of Both Types of Pleasure
There are two types of pleasure that we experience:
Type 1: Immediate pleasure.
This is joy that comes to us as we are doing something, say, jet skiing. As Daniel Tosh says, you can’t help but smile on a jet ski.
Type 2: Earned pleasure.
This is the joy that doesn’t come easily. This is the pleasure that comes from hard work, “blood, sweat, and tears,” and general discomfort or unpleasantness for the sake of a future pleasure.
Have you ever noticed the difference you feel when you get high before your responsibilities compared to after you’ve completed them?
Even as a daily consumer, I notice a different sense of satisfaction.
A sense of relaxation that comes from a sense of “earning” that time with cannabis. While we all love the idea of a good wake and bake, followed by a lazy morning of smoking hash and blunts, there’s a different high that comes with delaying that indulgence until after the day’s work has been completed.
This is how it felt the first time I consumed cannabis from my own garden (and every time since).
This is how it felt the first time I rolled a blunt of cannabis from my own garden (and every time since).
