So if I've already done that episode, go back and watch it.

I won't go too much more into it right now.

One of the key features though is when you smoke weed, you lose touch with how we experience time unfold chronologically.

And again, that's part of the reason I think people like it.

You'll hear people say things like, well, it's just so much easier to do my chores around the house if I'm high.

Why?

Because arguably, one of two things can happen.

You're either pinpoint focused and fixated in a way that makes the passage of time feel maybe not like it does typically, or maybe you're not stressed out about what you're having to do and you can kind of lose track of time.

This is why I think people...

When they're high, a task that may take them 20 minutes sober takes them three hours high, but they just enjoy doing it more.

It's certainly not making you more efficient.

It's just making the passage of time maybe feel less stressful because arguably you're operating somewhat outside of the construct of time.

I know I talked about this in my episode on shadow work, parts work, and IFS a little bit, but I'll take a second to lay a little bit of foundation here.

We live in the third dimension, right?

There's physical objects.

My microphone is physical.

We live in a physically dense reality.

Time is the fourth dimension.

And in a lot of my work, I've tried to help people conceptualize what happens between the fourth and the fifth dimension.

And I often will refer to it as a sticky web.
