    When it comes to drugs, play the long game so you can enjoy them your whole life. Take breaks, switch things up. Don’t let the drugs control you.

      That’s why I didnt even bother with them. I am easily addicted so I’d rather only deal with the addictions I already have

        Lpt: If you make up weekly schedule based on cross tolerance and stick to it you can avoid addiction for longer.

        Meth Monday

        Tramadol Tuesday

        Weed Wednesday

        Etc

    Check your local NA meetings people, it helps. Don’t compare substances, everything can be harmful. I’d argue that culture around these 2 can be really toxic, glorifying use without acknowledging risks.

          Yeah, I know a person who got addicted to using chapstick to get that hand to mouth fixation. Just constantly applying it. Your mileage may vary.

            i got a little necklace with a hollow metal tube on it. i really don’t even suck or blow on it anymore. i just like flinging it around my fingers, kinda like yo-yo tricks.

            oh shit maybe i should get a yo-yo

            anecdote time

            my biggest issue is when I’m working on computer, i really need to have something hanging out of my mouth.

            this was a recent development after going through a phase with vapes that were light enough for me to just hold with my lips, I was never one of those guys that could work with a cigarette hanging out of their mouth. tried a couple of times when i was younger and always gagged

    The idea that losers abuse substances is the one of the dumbest correlation/causation mistakes. Almost as stupid as “black people are more likely to be criminal”.

    I smoked weed and went progressively harder for the last few years.I really enjoyed it a lot: my joints felt better, sleep was easier, I found more joy in movies, TV shows, music, food, and sex. Exercise was easier and I lost weight.

    Starting last fall I noticed my memory was getting bad, and at times my mind woukd just shut down. So at first I cut back, then stopped it entirely. Been completely off for 3 months nkw, which should be more than enough time for all the THC to be out of my system and my canmabanoid receptors to be reset. I never used it until my 30’s so there should.be pretty much no risk of long-term issues.

    Since then, I’m proud to report that those same problems just got even worse AND I’ve lost all of the benefits! Yay!

      Sounds like it’s time to start using again haha

      I’ve used medical marijuana for close to 20 years now for an autoimmune disease. Yeah maybe I’m a little more forgetful, but hot damn! Being able to get out of bed and function is worth it.

      Yeah I am on a break too and haven’t noticed this lightning fast recall that others talked about in terms of memory. But then again I smoked a lot and never had that bad of a memory to begin with unless I was like cheech and Chong level baked

    Have you ever saw half a police department steping on someones ass or breaking into a house because someone got a few dozens of well brewed alcoholic beverages? Alcohol is safer

      Not everyone lives in a country with stupid drug laws. The danger is not from weed, it’s from your dogshit government.

      That does occasionally happen in Saudi - for sure. Mostly it’s the immigrants being raided, for obvious reasons.

        You mean the things that protects you from the police? I thought they were made from mixing naphta with some other liquid. Alcohol burn fast, naphta causes better effect.
