The irony of the VA trying for years to tell me to lay off the weed and just take opioid painkillers for my back is definitely not lost on me.

Once you've moved into heavy use territory, getting motivated to do anything is still hard, but nowhere near as difficult as doing it when you're still in reach of the grasp of giggle fits. I'm actually the lightest I've been since I was a teenager. That has a lot to do with my job and my dog keeping me active, but I definitely broke the munchy curse. A USA Today article a while back found heavy marijuana users were generally less likely to be obese than infrequent users or non-users. Who the gently caress knows where USA Today got that data from, but it was there for all to see, in a paper usually associated with groups that prefer it remain prohibited.

Thank gently caress for Colorado.

And Army beat Navy. Good poo poo.

Oh yeah, the VA wants to throw medicine at me like there's no tomorrow, but they gave me a "cannabis addiction" rx because I smoke a gram or two a day.

I mean ignore the fact it helps me actually be functional despite my ptsd and chronic stomach nausea....thanks burn pits!

Probably dying from stomach cancer, lol....

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

There was one guy who was almost certainly a dealer who would come in every week or two and buy 4 boxes of 15 3-packs. I always figured he gave them away to his customers :v:

should have sold them at a premium for the occasional weekend warrior. at this point anyway a prerolled blunt would last me about at least 3 weeks if it was about the thickness i used to roll them years back

I think they classified me under marijuana dependency. They never seem to update the amount I tell them I smoke either. "So you still smoke two ounces of marijuana a month?" No, for the third time this year, it's 2-3 grams a week of hash. The only thing the VA gives me is zoloft.

I don't discount the effects of edibles on others. I'm not the average person in terms of usage, so my tolerance clearly skews comparisons. But I have no desire to dabble in anything else with the exception of mushrooms, when I'm well and off of zoloft, and not at all a regular thing. The research around psilocybin is pretty promising in terms of depression treatment.

How do you guys afford so much weed

Weed maps. I spent hours finding the best deals before I found a shop that is both awesomely good in quality and price. I also grow my own. I also go to a project that gives weed out to veterans.

It still costs money and I wish I didn’t have to spend it. It’s this or opioids.

I ate a lab-tested 15mg edible with almost no tolerance and experienced fairly dramatic open eye visuals; hieroglyphic shifting patterns on surfaces etc. My heart was racing, I was drenched in sweat, and I felt very overwhelmed until I went outside.

So don't underestimate the power of weed with no tolerance.

Too much weed loving sucks and its something habitual users are too stoned to understand.

I get it. And when it happened to me, I hated it. Last time was august '16 after I moved, had a poo poo anxiety attack.

More doesn't mean better until you have a tolerance built. Not everyone grew up on ditch weed either, where it took three joints to meld with your couch, not one or two hits like today.

No, most of us understand. If it weren’t for my adderall, I’d whirlwind like I did a few months ago. Spiral into depression, just want to do nothing and smoke pot.

Marijuana is great that it legit helps. It also sucks because it’s a lazy thing. gently caress the sativa/indica poo poo, any inebriant is gonna make you different and/or lazy without motivation. I force myself to do things instead of procrastinate.

nah, I learned that lesson. I thought I was prepared to get super stoned, I thought I was pretty tolerant. Anyhow normally at the pot store I'd just quickly order whatever name sounded funny and bounce out because of the SHAME of buying DRUGS still needs beaten out of me after growing up in the bible belt. ANYHOW I thought I was cool and was like "Give me ur strongest poo poo my d00d :twisted:"

By god I smoked it all eventually but it gave me like full anxiety attacks thinking I was having a heart attack (I have a hang up about that) and then I quit smoking for most of the year lol.

I won't take edibles anymore because the last time I did, I had a terrible anxiety attack and it took a good hour to get myself calmed back down. poo poo sucks. I just stick to my one-hitter, and that's good for my tolerance.

Honestly, the best way to have a good experience is just tell the budtender what type of high you wanna have. I think that sativa/indica is overhyped but terpenes aren’t. Like, you could inhale cracked black pepper and the terpene in there is supposed to have anxiety reducing properties. The same for weed except it adds flavor. I really like the lemon pinesol type of strains and dislike spicy ones. Fruity is ok but it depends on which ones. Picky about oranges.

Edibles is gonna be couch lock period. I have a mammoth edible tolerance but man it still knocks me out with just a Little if I am not careful. These will make your tummy upset if you eat too much.

Vaporizing is a lot of flavor and less harmful. It’s kinda cool because you can reuse the vaped bud to make edibles that are strong as gently caress.

Tinctures are drops under your tongue and it’s really good if you just want the medical benefits and not so much the smoking part.

CBD is a medically proven anti anxiety substance. This is why you typically don’t see THC and CBD together. They kinda cancel each other out. CBD is not psychoactive which means you cannot get high from it. It is a pain reliever too. It works, and it’s good. I’ve read the papers myself and the poo poo is nuts.

You can pretty much do anything with weed now. I bought some on a credit card not too long ago. I ate THC sushi at marijuana farmers market a year ago too. It’s amazing. Embrace it. There’s no judgement here.

Around the house, it does gently caress all to help motivate me to clean or do much. At work though, I get into a zone where I'm pretty sure the military brainwashed a solid work ethic into me and I'm always trying to make poo poo slightly more organized. Which I realize is kinda odd, but that's probably where the paranoia I used to get around people went after I picked up to heavy use.

It's funny because I occasionally see scent dogs at work and they always sit when I come around, they can smell the resin I'd wiped off my hand onto my pants from dicking with my vape pen (serious potential to get covered in sticky resin). I'm always going to enjoy that.

I smoked weed once, can't say I liked it. I got really emotional and kept talking about the time I saved my dad's life. I'll stick with bourbon for the time being.

But if you guys blaze up to keep from going crazy, more power to you.

I'm willing to bet that at the start any threat of fragging he felt was purely on the basis of having black dudes in his Platoon/Company.

I'm sure in a few months though it was a genuine concern, lol

According to him, it was because of all the drug users, which he probably felt was the same thing.

Internet tells me that it was because he was a mixture of being a hardass and an idiot.
