I think it's a pretty good analogy. I was experiencing a personal paradox of mine for over a year and no amount of writing or thinking about it helped. Then after a single experience with weed, the next day I was able to piece things together and resolve this paradox. It's been about 9 months since and the solution still holds up to my own scrutiny. I believe this would not have been possible without the weed. It's funny how a single day can help you resolve something that bothered you for hundreds of days.
