Eason the Fifth posted:Taking a dump in springtime Kuwait portashitters while wearing a MOPP suit is a most incredible memory. Open the lid, it's full to the brim. Take your suspenders off and lower your MOPP trousers. Drop your sweat-soaked cammie trousers and skivvies. Squat/lean uncomfortably over the turd pile. Add your own diarrhea. It's 130 degrees outside and wet bulb temperature inside. You're sweating on every inch of your body. Everything itches. Your eyes burn from sweat. To hydrate while you poo poo you drink from a bottle of Baraka water which is what gave you the shits in the first place. You finish your business and wipe your rear end with a 3 inch square of ultra-thin toilet paper from an MRE. You pull your cammie trousers back up and watch with horror when your bayonet slips off your belt and falls into the turds. It weighs more than wet turds do, it turns out, and it sinks quickly. You desperately, reflexively reach in for it but have to feel around like you're trying to noodle a catfish and you wind up brown to the elbow pulling your catch out. You walk out of the portashitter with your trousers down, poo poo caked up your arm, your poop bayonet in one poop hand and your rifle in the other, and right then the sirens go off and people start yelling GAS GAS GAS and now you have to slap your gas-mask on your face with a lovely hand and seal your lovely self back into your MOPP suit before you stumble idiotically over to the closest bunker while you wait to die (hopefully) or for the all clear (not desired at that moment). You can't take a shower until night because the water tanks are uncovered in the sun and daytime showers are scalding so you are locked in the poop MOPP suit for hours. The marine Corps is so fuckjin good shared this with another thread and lolled again.

Just the veiniest pork swords ever, sharpie drawn, portashitter canvas, realism but with a touch of fantasy and class. Art that brings all people together, because lol goddamn dick drawings in caves from our ancestors just shows we can never abandon our nature. The nature to laugh at the funniest body part to exist. Why? Because it's a train wreck, you can't look away, you know that whatever caused this appendage to form was in jest. Namaste

I know the question wasn’t directed at me, forgive me for being presumptuous but I felt it was pertinent. Apologies if not! I personally suffer from service-connected PTSD, anxiety, depression, and severe chronic pain. I also suffer from the really bad side effects of anti-depressants and many pain killers; notably, I’m very allergic to opiates (legitimately allergic, breathing/heart problems, bad itching and angry hives on the backs of my hands) and thoughts of suicide regarding antidepressants, and tramadol. I had an attempted suicide in 2013 because all the pain, depression, and the convenient voice in my head happily volunteering, “why don’t you just kill yourself?” was almost too much to bear. Almost. Fortunately for me my wife was there to wrest the shotgun out of my hands. I spent 23 hours in a facility run by the State under suicide watch. In 2014 Delaware legalized medical marijuana and made it easier for me to get a reliable source with actual medicinal properties, and my mood changed considerably. My quality of life has improved, my mood improved, and my outlook on life has improved but I’m still unemployed and consider myself medically retired at this point (I’m 58) in addition to which my wife has a great job so overall it’s easier to deal with life knowing I can consume weed legally and without guilt, and that it’s there and I don’t have to stress out about getting my medicine. Because that’s what it is. My chronic pain, PTSD, anxiety and depression medicine. I can handle the side effects

cruft posted:Genuinely curious about your story with this. I've never tried it but I think it's cool that it can be used therapeutically. I don't have like a super dramatic story or anything, and I'm sure a lot of folks had things a lot worse than I did. After getting out it was just really hard for me to stop being a drunk belligerent rear end in a top hat because being a drunk belligerent rear end in a top hat is default behavior in the marines. I had a neighbor, a college freshman-age girl a few years younger than me I'd helped with writing some research papers, who saw how much I was drinking and asked if I wanted to try some weed instead. I was out of the corps and didn't have to worry about piss tests anymore so I said sure (I had never smoked weed before then). I really liked the way it made me feel so for a while there I got really drunk and really high every day, which was loving great, but eventually I started having less alcohol and more weed because I didn't have money for both and I liked weed more. I was 26 or 27 by then and constant hangovers were really starting to suck, and frankly it was nice to be able to get blasted at night doing bong rips and not feel like poo poo the next morning. No news to anyone here, but weed can make people introspective and it amplifies feelings, and when I got to thinking about things I'd said and done that hurt people, I started realizing that hurting people was not great, actually, and it wasn't that they were pussies who couldn't take it, but that I was just a giant shithead. This wasn't a one-day epiphany. It took a long time to get better, like years, and I was still a jerk for a lot of that time, but I stopped being so angry. Also I got older. Being military-angry all the time is a game for young men, four-time divorcees, cops, and trump supporters, and, well, you can see the caliber of human beings they are. Just to be clear, weed isn't a perfect solution. For a while back in grad school I had way too much of it and it gave me bad anxiety and a panic disorder that lasted for years. Some of the legal strains have loving crazy high THC and smoking them like you're smoking garbage street weed is an easy way to trigger some seriously bad mental problems. But on balance, it did help a lot. Saoshyant posted:Eh, weed certainly relaxes you, but I'd wager if there was not a will there to "become a better person", weed wouldn't have changed a thing.
