For the international celebration of 4/20 week, we strive to breakdown all preconceived notions that marijuana does not enhance your life.

Being considered a stoner is never a positive thing, but this is only until you decide to get off of mom’s couch and put your sativa high to good use. If you can learn how to function efficiently while being high than you can damn near become successful at anything.

 Just take a look at your favorite rapper. These are the 10 Reasons Why Smoking Weed Will Lead You To Success.

10. It improves your understanding of economics.

If you smoke, you surely understand the value of a dollar.

You learn that when copping higher quantities of bud, you can talk down the price depending on how good you are at mindf*cking your dealer.

This is an important skill to possess in any field and who wouldn’t want five dubs for $80?

9. You will find out who your stingiest friends are.

For such a communal activity, it doesn’t make sense for anyone to be greedy.

So when someone, especially a friend, decides not to share… you should start considering whether or not you should call them a buddy or not.

Their generosity with their piff tells you a lot about their character and the kind of heart they have. Surround yourself with people who love you enough to share their weed.

With the right friends, you will get far in life.

8. You will become more paranoid and aware.

It’s safe to say that if you hear the doorbell ring after ripping the bong for the 7th time, you get a little nervous.

Yes paranoia is a side effect of weed, but if anything it makes you more vigilant.

Your awareness spikes and your stoner senses kicks in —  which is definitely a good thing. You are extra conscious of your environment, as this is an edge non-smokers do not have.

7. You will become more analytic and think outside the box.

Not only are you more aware of everything in the world, but you begin to think differently about everything.

Sometimes it’s good to get some different perspective on things, especially if you’re doing the same thing everyday.

Smoking a blunt will re-inspire you and help you become more creative in the process. Some of the best ideas come from being stoned.

6. It's the ultimate networking tool.

Nothing brings people together like weed. Even if you’ve just met the person, smoke a joint with them and you will feel like you’ve known them your entire life.

Furthermore most people tend to smoke in big groups. This builds a community, as everyone contributes to the same goal — throw five and get smacked.

The level of trust you have with someone after smoking is unrivaled as you both are feeling equally as crazy.

5. You don't sweat the small things.

The last thing anyone wants when they are baked out of their mind is problems.

So when they are so minuscule and insignificant, we tend to just shut them out.

Most people let small things get to them and this is one of the biggest problems in hindering success.

4. It proves how strong your character is.

Weed is a gateway drug, sure. But that doesn’t mean those kids you see smoking a blunt in the middle of the street during the day are blowing lines in the bathroom at night.

Many people do fall into the trap of trying harder drugs and getting hooked. But that’s just because they are weak and should never have started smoking in the first place.

If you let yourself go onto more harmful substances, then you probably weren’t the sharpest tool in the shed to begin with.

3. It puts you in the zone.


While some people may have a hard time focusing when high, there is no doubt that it puts you in the zone.

Especially when you are focusing on something you enjoy and love to do, you will always get fantastic results.

Being high gives you that extra push after a long day and will definitely give you some extra mileage to finish your tasks.

2. It gives you a greater understanding of who you are.

Other substances may numb the pain in your life, but weed highlights it.

It makes you take a hard long look yourself and reveals imperfections like never before. You become critical and at times insecure, but this is for the best.

While at times it may be overwhelming, it gives you a clear look into the person you are, as well as the person you are becoming.

1. It makes you enjoy life.

There is no doubt that smoking weed makes you just enjoy everything a little more.

This is important in a stressful world where people let small things get the best of them.

Smoking helps you appreciate everything and everyone around you. This will surely humble you on the road to success.
