Yes, but it is much easier to do them responsibly if you have other rewarding activities to look forward to.<p>I, for example, spent almost six months high a couple of years ago and loved it. I stopped because the hippies I was working for ran out of money. I was about an inch away from homelessness before I managed to get a job as a software developer. I was sober at work, but I&#x27;d get fucked up as soon as I got home, later with friends, &amp;c. Now that I&#x27;m working on my own startup my drug usage has declined even more. I still get high when I have the chance, but I have other highly stimulating activities to spend my time on now.<p>I wouldn&#x27;t recommend my life choices to anyone else, but there <i>are</i> ways to responsibly partake of excess.
