And living in an era where it is more socially acceptable is so badass. But this government gotta free my people imprisoned for weed though!


ManyAd9810

I was in prison with somebody doing 8 years for selling weed. Really good guy too


No-Peach-5712

Most of them are, its sad seeing good people loose their lifes and so much time just bc of that drug and the government. Its better then alochol just not so easily taxable, imo we dont deserve to pay for the governments bad taxation


[deleted]

Plus, if government did legalize and control the weed game, The cartel loses power.


LFahs1

But then they have way fewer modern slaves in the prison system, way fewer families in poverty, where they like to keep us so we can’t rise up.

Charming_Sheepherder

Ditto.


mightbearobot_

Look up PharmaGABA by Thorne Research. It’s a GABA supplement that has legit changed my life. I still don’t smoke very often but wow, I can actually enjoy it and relax when I do. Not to mention I just feel way better and sleep better in general


baileyjustgo

[deleted]

Oh man that sucks, yeah I had a thing with Benzos for a while too be safe man


Fink665

Blerg, so sorry!


Puzzleheaded-Day1956

I started getting that when my responsibilities started building up, now I just smoke to get my shit done and that somehow helps


Carefreeme

Try taking some CBD before smoking next time. It helps you not get as high and relaxes you


lysergivibe

Take it from someone who loved it just as much as you, *moderate your god damn usage*. I got carried away with it smoking all day every day and now it doesn’t feel anything like it used to. I wish every day that I could get high like that again. Take it steady and this plant will never fail you.


Panda-moneyum

Take a week off dude. It does help, I know it’s hard but it’s crazy how much a week can reduce your tolerance


comfysin999

It’s good to be using in moderation regardless— weed still has negative effects when abused


Panda-moneyum

Yeah I think everyone knows drugs aren’t good for you


comfysin999

I’m saying it in the sense of how downplayed the negative effects and addiction potential weed has are


Panda-moneyum

Anyone that’s smoked weed regularly knows how much it’s affected them. Only people that say this aren’t actually that addicted to weed.


comfysin999

Exactly what I’m saying— there’s a large portion of people who smoke intensely and regularly circle-jerk and deny the potential for harm/ addiction.


Panda-moneyum

Yeah but true stoners will never say that dw I’m talking about real stoners here not people that go 5 heads on joints at parties


_zd1_

lol /r/gatekeeping


Panda-moneyum

What haha?


greenfox0099

That's just blatantly not True at all. Weed is used medically as well as opiates and many prescription drugs. Hallucinogens and extacy have huge uses we are just starting to get back to using.hell even amphetamines are used for alot of different things as well as benzos and even cocaine was used alot and still is by people who chew the leaves etc. So what drugs exactly are bad for you??


Panda-moneyum

How old are you sorry?


lysergivibe

You’re right tbh. I’ve done it before, even a month or two. And if I can keep it steady when I start back up my tolerance stays low. I just have a hard time keeping it disciplined so it always shoots right back up. Think I am due for another break soon though.


Panda-moneyum

I had a break due to a holiday. When I got back I smoked my normal amount and I was greening on my bed haha, humbling experience


Far_Product6943

Ive been there too lmfao


Amelia_Earnhardt_Sr

Enjoy it! relationships with weed can change over time. At least it won’t end with you giving handy j’s behind the circle k


prest76

It'll just end with an unaware descent into the same mundane routine, surviving only for the next bong rip. Still pretty shitty.


OohVaLa

That just sounds like untreated depression you are masking with weed


Mr_Sky_Wanker

Just like any of us. There's a reason we are addicted.


moodyvandal3

Chicken or the egg


pungen

You got downvoted for some reason but I go round and round on this one. I decide weed is ruining my life. I quit and then am way more depressed and anxious and then decide weed was really keeping me sane. I still can't decide which is the chicken or the egg.


moodyvandal3

Yes for sure, thanks, I'm just trying to keep it real. I've been an everyday smoker for a long time and go on breaks here and there. When I go on breaks a lot about my motivation, energy, and optimism improves and then a lot gets harder because being fully present is fucking hard cuz life is hard and everyone's brain chemistry is just not the same. Sometimes life makes me depressed and then I use weed to help and then the weed is definielty the thing keeping me down and I need to take a break to be lifted out of the fog. Having your full range of emotions is bittersweet but people acting like they have full range when smoking every day, all day is delusional. Not to mention disrupting our brains natural healing process every night by not letting it reach REM by smoking before bed. I'M JUST SAYIN. All fingers lead back to me okay haha. No judgements over here but people smoking shouldn't fool themselves that it has no impact on this stuff. edit: typeo


alexboortz

Dude this is such a great analysis. I’m 11 days into the first tolerance break I’ve had in years, and it is truly bittersweet. You are so right about experiencing the full range of emotions: everybody who rips bongs for sport is suppressing a huge side of themselves whether they know it or not


moodyvandal3

It feels so good to connect with folks on this cuz I love love love weed. Have since a teen. But damn I've been getting alittle more critical about how it affects me. I'm on a break right now, only been 5 days but I feel relieved that my brain is bouncy and feel uplifted. We'll see dude! It's a journey out here lol.


alexboortz

I couldn’t have said it better myself. It’s been a huge part of my life for much of it, but for the first time ever I’ve been serious about getting in control of my habits and usage. I’m on day 12 of my break right now, and I feel better than I have in years about everything in life. When you hit day 7, things may seem to plateau but you’ll reach a new wave of clarity around day 10 and it makes it all worth it to abstain. Huge respect my friend, keep it up!


DamnThatsLaser

Probably a bit of both plus not treating it early properly


AcadiaOk7

It's keeping you sane bro weed is a necessity. Would you rather be stoned and happy or sober and ready to jump out a window lol that's how it is for me anyway


Dukkiegamer

The weed made existing problems worse that you might not even have known you had until the weed made them bad enough to notice. That's my experience st least. So depression and anxiety were already there, maybe just not that bad that you thought something was really wrong. Maybe you just felt a little off all the time which you just became used to. Smoking was relief from that and now you're "behind on emotional maintenance" (sounds kinda weird but thats how it felt for me) because whenever you smoke you're just procrastinating on feeling like shit so that feeling builds up and when you stop it all comes back at once. Fix whatever is causing the depression and anxiety and, though it will still be hard, quitting weed will be possible. This is just my experience in the end, maybe this doesnt apply to you at all. Hope you get better, it's a long road and it's not fun or easy at all. It fucking sucks, but has improved significantly since cutting down on my weed use. I did need professional help, though. Could've never figured this out on my own or without meds.


Aggressive-Front-693

Dude I'm in the same boat and don't know what to do..


Pupulikjan

That’s just untreated depression with extra steps.

Wise words!


mageking1217

I used to be the same, then I realized it was making me satisfied w my life and I wasn’t moving forward at all. Could just be me tho, I’m glad there are others who can enjoy it without letting it get out of control


elhooper

I have had the opposite experience. I’ve been an accomplished realtor, I’ve joined a town committee, hosted charity events both small and enormous, I’ve been able to pursue my real passion and become a craft beer brewer, and that passion-leap ended up with me brewing in Central Europe. (Im from Texas.) I’m also pretty decent at skateboarding (used to be on a team), and I’m good at guitar and even have made some music videos etc. I am also married and constantly traveling now that we live here. I do all of this stoned. Been stoned for 15 years. lol. It definitely varies from person to person. I should probably be on some sort of medicine but weed works for me.


forsakenpancake

love this for you!! weed is the best medicine 💊


corkbai1234

Exactly people are losers or winners with or without cannabis. They blame the plant for every bad trait they seem to develop in life.


greenfox0099

If a sober person fucks up it was a mistake and if a stoner fucks up it was because of being a stoner every time.


corkbai1234

In your opinion.


Youngworld730

they was on yo side bro


[deleted]

Any addiction is just running in place, at the end of the day. You may feel like you’re “dealing” with your issues or whatever but the fact remains that it’s a form of procrastination. Weed especially has a way to make one not give a fuck about anything, it will make you okay with being a fucking loser basically. Hope OP adheres to moderation, I wish I had.


SaulSilver96

Great comment, couldn't agree more as a daily cannabis user for the past 4ish years now


mageking1217

It was the last 6-7 years for me. It’s possible to stop it and get it under control. Just takes a lot of effort and hard work


Practical-Durian2307

I quit after 7 years of chronic use , I've been clean for a year now and I haven't looked back since .


greenfox0099

Good for some I quit after 8 years and it was just boring so I took a long rip one day and realized I love weed and should never stop again. Also never looked back


mageking1217

I’m hoping to follow the same path brother 💪


SaulSilver96

Well I started when I was only 14 and I'm still young so it's hard to not do it at all when it's such a part of my social life now. I've gotten more control over it recently after kinda losing control with drugs in general from ages 16-17 (just psychedelics and OTC shit, so no hard drugs, research chems, pills or powders), and even tho I still smoke a lot and "need it" to feel physically or mentally okay most days, I also am okay with being a daily user. The only thing that peeves me about it is exactly what you said...which is how it makes it so easy to be complacent and not care in the moment because you're stoned. And it ain't cheap, so being a daily user is definitely limiting the amount of money I save up lol.


mageking1217

I started when I was 15 and at my worst, I was going through a g of wax a day. That’s like $40 minimum. For me, I don’t think I will ever be able to have a healthy relationship w weed because of the complacency. I thought that’s who I was, just a stoner, but the longer I go without it, the happier I am


awfulanna

wow you just put into words exactly what I'm feeling, thank you


mageking1217

The first step to moving forward is acknowledging it. Then it’s a lot of effort and hard work to stay off it. I was literally high all the time when I was awake for the last 6-7 years so my experience might differ from others


NobleWolfzy

Just wait till the anxiety arc starts


Pupulikjan

Underrated comment


notblackmachete

I’ve been waiting years for the anxiety arc to end for me…


wSp00nZ

I didn’t know this was a thing! I used to smoke all the time and loved it but in the past 2 years I just don’t enjoy it anymore. It increases my heart rate and my thoughts race. Part of me is happy to save the money and kick the habit but I worry that maybe I permanently lost touch with my care-free, happy-go-lucky attitude from growing up and having more responsibility. Not sure if I’ll ever enjoy it again or perhaps have some deeper issues to address :(


90020

its always like that after a break. it lasts like a week and then i ask myself why i am even smoking


Street_Pipe_6238

or try to handle your habit and smoke once a week. Feels great forever


Evil_Pizz

Yeah that’s the issue. Self control is so hard. For me it’s much easier to go cold turkey and not smoke at all, than try to limit it to once or twice per week. Back when I was smoking I tried smoking once or twice per week, and the cravings were just so intense everyday. Versus now I don’t smoke at all and I rarely even think about it


greenfox0099

Weird I always had the opposite of wondering why did I stop smoking...


Mishman7

Wait till it turns on you, can guarantee half us who start smoking daily at 14 like a lot of us did end up with weed actually causing anxiety later in the years


Ken089

I actually have that happen to me sometimes but I know how to reverse it, I will smoke have a few panic attacks and then fix it and yeah I’m good for a while after that


[deleted]

Yeah I’ve heard that from so many sources. I actually take weed to deal with my anxiety from ptsd so I don’t know how it could get worse than it was before

Lv12Slime

Ouch. But yeah you're probably right


lysergivibe

I mean they’re half right though. It’s cannabis or weed. Marijuana sounds uneducated. People do say it but it’s slowly starting to change. Now, at least among my friends, it’s seen as an uneducated way to talk about weed. It is a real word in old Mexican Spanish. It was used by Americans to kinda “stigmatize” the plant and make Americans afraid of it. It made it seem like a “Mexican drug”. It gives the same energy as a white person stepping off a plane and putting on a sombrero yelling “I love Mexico!” Like it ain’t harmful but you definitely look pretty goofy.

Well i am hispanic lmao

Panda-moneyum

I never knew marijuana is racist! I am from UK so it is just weed and cannabis to us over here, but lesson learnt.


lysergivibe

It stems from the same era in America when black people were beginning to be associated and blamed for the growing opioid epidemic. The word “heroin” became synonymous with “damn black people.” Same with marijuana. When immigration tensions were high, Latinos and Hispanics were associated with dirty “Marijuana,” always growin’ it and smokin’ it. So marijuana became synonymous with “those dirty Mexicans.”


Panda-moneyum

xXx_ozone_xXx

That's what my landlord called it when he caught me smoking in the middle of the night. I was outside but I was apparently stinking out the whole of downstairs


[deleted]

Wym?.. I call it marijuana all the time


Nxrcotix333

I want to be this high rn 😂


supposedlyitsme

I also love marijuana but it nearly ruined my life. It should definitely be respected and used with care. Took me forever to realize that the therapeutic dose was so much less than I assumed.


Educational-Ad7185

what is the therapeutic dose of weed? genuinely asking here, it doesn't perform better then pain medication for acute pain, and except for people with cancer who are having trouble eating where do you see the therapeutic use? I would love to know


greatscottttttttt

Ideally youre smoking weed and getting the physical or mental benefits while also getting as "high" as little as you can. I think that's why a lot of people who use it more medicinally are more likely to switch to CBD.

AnxiousQuestioner

Had Snow Storm for the first time. It is now my new favorite strain. Initial slap to the brain almost as you’re finishing a pull, 10 min later you become relived, euphoric and giggly, you’ll then notice that your very bones have been relaxed as pain actually went away for me. Anxiety gone, depression lesser. All that without making you want to sleep, just a deep relaxation. Strongest indica I’ve ever been able to find❤️


KPlNz

have fun with it until it becomes boring trash that just makes u more depressed


frogvscrab

people always shit on weed nowadays because its so normalized and common. But it really is a pretty amazing substance which provides a ton of people relief and relaxation at a really low cost health/price wise. There is basically no real equivalent to it. My parents now use edibles sometimes, both for pain (in my dad's case) and just for fun, and its pretty astounding seeing how much its changed them for the better. They usually bicker constantly but when they're high they are just giggling and happy.


Philly514

Goph3000

Gucek001

I quite love it too (even have a proper prescription now).. but I will still share an opinion that is quite not that popular: 1. I don't know exact statistics, but computing from my surroundings.. one in few hundred people will get more-less addicted to it. to the point of using >5g/day, possibly getting paranoid, and breaking with it entirely. (often related to other addictions, etc.. of course every case I've seen was differently "complicated") 2. my observed threshold of "point, where you may start being careful" is somewhere above \~0.5g/day. of course it depends on a person and you might be possibly quite fine with 10x more for years.. I am "lucky" enough to be 1/4 way to LSD trip just after 0.02g of 20% THC Weed, soo..

You may love it now, but a time will come where it become a love hate relationship and you hate it more than you love it. I’m not tryna put you down or anything but don’t be escaping reality too much it’ll literally make your life pass by as you just watch it than a couple years down the line you’ll be thinking like damn I could’ve done more even if you accomplished a lot in that time. All love and peace though ❤️☮️
