If you've got a lot on your mind you probably won't anymore. Stuff that barely required attention can now draw all of your attention.

The first time I got high I was struck with the sensation that I could only focus on two of my five senses at any given time, but found those senses way more intricate and fascinating.

Weed turns me into Daredevil, basically

First time I got high it was in my bedroom with a cute guy who never called me back :smith:

The high was great though :unsmith:

Ask me about my STD collection!
just got back from the weed store and was freehanding it up my apartment elevator
stops on 2 to pick up someone else so I shove it in my pocket
guy and his girlfriend get in
a second later, "it kind of smells like basil"
I laugh, thinking he's making a joke about the weed smell then immediately realize he was totally serious
his girlfriend chat about it a second more, "maybe pesto?"
me: I love pesto

My gf wanted some weed but we couldn’t find it, cause we just moved and all. Tore up the whole house like three times, checked the garage, the crawl space, every box and tote, nothing. She offhand mentions the battery holder for the lawn mower that’s in the garage and sure enough that’s where we stashed it. What a bunch of nonsense

When people say that they mean it isn't physically addictive. You're not gonna die from weed withdrawal.

If you have a weak mind you can get addicted to anything :shrug:

yeah but its specifically the use of the phrase "habit forming" in response to "i dont want to get addicted" when "its not addictive but can be strongly habit forming" is what people say. of course people say a lot of things and mean a lot of things that dont make much sense much less so when youre very high. semantics.

but hey compared to all the other lovely behaviorally addictive habit forming vices of modern life like social media, gambling, tv and apps that do the same thing as tv but with you all of the time, weed is one of the least bad.

I think I technically meet the criteria for cannabis use disorder and I go back and forth on whether I think that's a real thing or if it's just a bunch of squares writing the DSM.

Like a lot of the things in the DSM it's basically written in a way where you can only have it if it is causing problems in your life so I'm not sure it's really that relevant whether it's a "real thing" in the sense of having some sort of unique etiology or something?

The most minimal way you could have "mild" cannabis use disorder with only two out of eleven criteria in the DSM-5-TR is like you take more than you intended and are trying to cut down but failing, which probably implies in itself that you're experiencing some level of distress over your use of weed, but if you're just like "nah I think the amount I'm taking is ok" then you wouldn't meet the criteria.

Beyond that, all the other criteria involve it actually disrupting your life somehow.

I'm not sure to what degree it is disrupting my life. I've had some persistent brain fog lately and I fear it might be the cannabis. If so, then yes that is affecting/disrupting my life. Maybe I lock my weed away somewhere and still have brain fog a month later, then it's not weed's fault. I don't know. That's pretty much it, though. The next day brain fog. I only have any at night so it's not like "oh I got high instead of going to work." But I'm afraid that doing it the night before might be part of what's making me get less done than I need to at the office.

weed can cause brain fog for sure but so does getting old. so i mean its going to happen either way. think of it as practice.

I mean basically your options are 1) don't worry about it or 2) try to quit temporarily to see if it's causing the brain fog. If you're stressed out about it and you try to quit and you can't it's probably fair to describe it as a "disorder" regardless of whether it's actually causing the brain fog?

:qq: I LOVE TWO AND HALF MEN!! YOU 20 SOMETHINGS ARE JUST TOO CYNICAL TO UNDERSTAND IT!!:qq:
yeah I've never had the "really need this to take the edge off" feeling with weed like I did with alcohol, also it feels much less detrimental to your health. actually the reason why I "switched" is because I woke up one Saturday feeling great and felt kinda weird about it - I realized it was because I hadn't drank Friday night. that was how I realized I should probably drink less. so now I dig having an edible + 1 or 2 drinks, gets you feeling much better than 5-6 drinks would

trouble is alcohol tastes really good when stoned. but hey I'm down to like...a few bad hangovers a year now

SilvergunSuperman posted:

sometimes but if you get *too* stoned you can get really weird and self conscious. the scene in Curb where Larry gets high and starts yelling at himself in the mirror is pretty spot on actually.
