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!
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
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
Yeah the phrase to me means all men, and all non Jewish people, so by definition everyone but Jewish women, heh. It struck me as funny so instead of working I made a stupid venn diagram, which seemed a better use of my time.
I’ve been switching between PCP and angel dust for years. Just when I feel I’m becoming addicted to one I just switch, and I’m totally sane, maybe even THE MOST sane person. I should run for president!
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”.
Moralizing to drug addicts helps no one. All it does is make you feel better about yourself for a bit and make someone else feel worse when they’re already down and using to cope. Your attitude actually contributes to a culture that promotes unhealthy relationships with substances.
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.
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
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.

Try playing n-back games to improve your memory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-back
Memory is a skill and can atrophy over time, but you can also improve it over time with the right practice.
There’s no scientific proof it works.
Sounds like it’s time to start using again haha

No, though I eentftom not dreaming at all (or not remembering them) to dreaming occasionally.
It… Is…?
Especially if you eat it instead of smoking.
yes but but
damnit after quitting nicotine in two phases I’ll be damned if my autistic ass isn’t realizing that the hand to mouth thing is a hard bitch to give up
that being said
what’s your favorite recipe or something
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 make really good cherry-garlic ribs.
roast that at 275 for 5-6 hours
Ok, I roasted all that for 5.5 hours - now do I add the ribs?
Fried chicken seasoning: 2 Tablespoons Kosher Salt 2 Tablespoons Hungarian Paprika 2 Teaspoons Garlic Powder 1 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper 🤌
Weed Stroganoff. It’s beef stroganoff, but made with a healthy dollop of weed butter. The flavor slightly improves the dish.
i will try this tonight!
unemployment will kill you
Good thing I’m not unemployed then.
Newsflash: many employed people use drugs.
I’m high at work right now!
No worries. The rat race will too. Or at least kill the humanity you contained, and leave you a shell of a being.
Sorry gents and gentiles, moderation is the only safe thing, and sometimes not even that.
“Everything in moderation, including moderation.”
One can still be safer than the other.
Oof, so I basically said “Jewish men, and everyone else” 😬
Edit: er? Wait, theres some nested logic shit going on here.
Yeah the phrase to me means all men, and all non Jewish people, so by definition everyone but Jewish women, heh. It struck me as funny so instead of working I made a stupid venn diagram, which seemed a better use of my time.
Wait, you made that? I don’t know what your work is, but this was definitely a better use of your time!
I agree, it was very informative, I only said it cause it rhymed lol
Safety isn’t the only priority.
In the context of this meme it is.
A magical children’s toy with no genitals?
Wait I thought we were talking about caillou where the hell did genitals come from
Read the fucking words on the image asshat
Look at the picture, sweetheart.
The picture is there to convey emotion, the text is there to explain context. You’ve apparently never seen a meme before.
Be Unemployed
Do literally anything
Fascist: “This is why you’re unemployed”
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
Please don’t recommend me taking drugs. I Don’t want drugs anywhere in my life.
Ask your doctor if shitpostax is right for you
They put me on shitpostifine instead but its really not working out for me
Stop replying in shitposts about drugs then genius
I’ve been switching between PCP and angel dust for years. Just when I feel I’m becoming addicted to one I just switch, and I’m totally sane, maybe even THE MOST sane person. I should run for president!

True, being absolutely zooted at 4 pm on a Wednesday is for winners!
I’m off work and at home by 4pm, so I’ll have a joint if I like, thanks.
I’m stuck at work by that time, power to ya!
You should smoke a joint. Will make the rest of your shift fuckin fly by.
Working sober is like pooping at home, a waste of time
Spoken like a true bidet non haver.
What decade is this?
The 20’s, everything checks out.
Judging other people for being zooted at 4 pm on a Wednesday even moreso!

Yes. Half your board are probably ripped by 4:25 every day.
Cannabis is isn’t a board of directors drug. Cocaine is.
Both.
It’s the winners that can afford the good, top shelf weed ;)
Lol
Ok
Only if you like being homeless!
With booze, you lose. With dope, there’s hope!
Alcohol cures liver
It can also cure life

“Me” and “the alcoholic” are the same person
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.
I thought it was obvious that that was my argument
Unfortunately no opinion is too stupid to be sincere on the internet, can’t be sure anything is sarcasm unless it has an /s
Have you seen molotov cocktails?
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.
I used to live in a dry cleaners and the thought of flaming naphtha is terrifying
That does occasionally happen in Saudi - for sure. Mostly it’s the immigrants being raided, for obvious reasons.
Cause they don’t have a job to make money for a corporate king they are Dipshits, right?
