Don't do my dishes or ANYTHING else while high.

What the heck does guts have to do with this? I'm sorry if it offends you, but that Puritan work ethic schpiel is a load of dung. If you're doing a shit job, which, in my considered opionion and experience washing dishes most certainly is, and you don't do something to keep yourself amused, your brain gets soft and you start believing you have no right to be happy. Well no less a man than Thomas Jefferson said I certainly had a right to try to be happy, and if washing dishes is a fact of life, and getting stoned does the trick, that's my decision.
Proving one's manly by suffering for pennies? That's insane. Totally mental. If that's what sobriety does to you, I want no part of it.
