Conscious Quote by David Cross
“I do lots of other drugs but I smoke pot maybe 5-10 times a year now. I used to smoke it all the time, but I don't, and I haven't for awhile. That's just because it makes me - and I'm not saying this about everybody else - but it makes me kind of dumb and self-conscious.”

![“I think for a lot of people, it's just where their saturation point was. Once you get into the [Donald] Trump stuff and the Republican stuff and the Ayn Rand followers, it doesn't let up for about half an hour. It gets hard and stays hard for a while.” quote by David Cross](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/dba/david-cross-3386_followers_i-think-for-a-lot-of-people-it-s-just-wh_76534.jpg)
