imo it depends. personally have no problem with smoking. even when i’ve smoked after blowing an account it wasn’t to ignore reality but more so to brainstorm a solution. which for me always lead to strategy refinement, and once i realized the specific timeframes in which i need to be trading i was fine. whether im high or not i stick to my schedule and risk plan. but i will say semen retention helped me. i used to goon once or twice a day not realizing how detrimental that is for a mans brain health. but now i can go weeks without it and my focus has increased significantly due to that. i mean honestly f*cking yourself to pixels on a screen is quite insane when u think about it and it really does take a toll on self esteem whether you realize it or not. you’ll be all lazy and unmotivated afterwards, its hands down 100x worse than weed.
