Ah okay i didn't think of that, that is a pity then yes, as travelling broadens/opens the mind better then cannabis hehe. Specially seeing how other people have to live, struggle or live glamorous, etc. Using cannabis (being high) does make it easy to postpone things, and before you know it its indeed postponed 10 years. Though i have had this idea/thought too, i'm still getting less convinced about this. I've seen too many different cases to be sure. I might consider videogaming/online multiplayer stuff ruined more time of people and or students around me then cannabis. And yes, they do 'work well' together :)

>travelling broadens/opens the mind
This is bullshit. Most travel is leisure, just like cannabis, and not at all mind expanding.
This is just a game of "my hobby is better than yours".
And you cannot get a nice idea or realisation, gain some knowledge when you are doing something considered 'leisure'? Must be interesting hanging out with you outside office hours.
(also not saying anything was better, i like it all, including wasting some hours a week on a videogame)

People can disagree without one of the opinions being "bullshit".
Traveling opened my mind and gave me much larger perspective on things. Sometimes it is leisurely, other times it is not (I have foreign family and not a lot of resources and no background in this country).
