Used to love to smoke with some buddies before we saw live music but recently it just puts me in a overthinking panic where my mind races and thinks about every decision I've ever made and then the set ends and I don't even know what I listened to. I find weed now gives me a life lesson/alternate perspective of a situation which is usually helpful but usually not the actualization I was looking for when I'm trying to chill

I smoked weed from the age of 13 to 21. I was able to experience it when it was illegal and had to be bought from a sketchy dealer in the area to being able to have weed delivered to me in a park. The strength of the weed and what it did to me after becoming legalized is precisely what made me quit! I had such a bad high off of some dispensary edibles once that literally caused me to hallucinate and that was the end of it for me. They’re doing something to the weed just like our food it seems 🥲 might to go full organic to not lose your mind !

when you smoke a lot, your brain gets used to the THC, but after a while, your tolerance can shift THC messes with your brain’s receptors, and if you’re stressed or not in a good headspace, it can ramp up anxiety or paranoia annndd even if you’re not in a bad headspace, sometimes weed just hits differently over time, your brain might have adjusted to the THC, and now it reacts in a way that’s more intense or uncomfortable it could be that your body or brain just doesn’t process it the same anymore, even if you feel fine mentally

@eliz6a

babita ahh thank you for this explanation!!! i rly miss smoking because i feel like i was much more creative and had a completely different style that i felt was more ‘me’. kinda sucks but hopefully ill find myself again:)

@babita

eliz6a i get you, same thing happened to me. it used to feel stupid good and now i feel demented when i smoke. personally giving my brain some months to rest is enough. also making little dates with myself where weed will be involved, usually working on a creative project somewhere i feel comfy. BEST WISHES

We used to be best buddies.. but now we're not :(

I used to lovvve it. I would smoke every day for years with my friends and we would go on adventures exploring trails and fields (probably trespassed on someone's property like once a week lol whoops). If I was alone, I would smoke at home and clean or listen to music. It really was my escape, as corny as that sounds. BUT... all good things must come to an end, and unfortunately mine was about 3 years ago or so. This picture of Peter glitching is probably the best representation to how I feel now when i take a 5mg edible these days. One bad experience with a different substance occurred and ruined weed for me completely. Now, whenever I get high, or even inhale a bit too much secondhand smoke, my heart starts racing, I disassociate, and get flung into the most severe panic attack imaginable. It's like living in a nightmare for approximately 3 hours. Honestly, the worst part is explaining this to people and they reply with "you just have a low tolerance/you just need to try this strain/blah blah blah". I've tried easing myself back into it but nothing works, my brain just associates weed with danger now regardless of the strain. womp womp.

trying to quit smoking weed for a week

it will make everything in your head, good and bad, feel sharper. if you can’t do it then maybe take that as a bad sign. speaking as someone who had to take it as a bad sign

LONG LOST LOVER

I smoked for the first time when I was 15, and was smoking pretty much daily by the time I was 16. While I do give it some credit for helping me get out of my abusive relationship at the time (It made me realize that I actually wanted to have fun and live my life), It was very much a substitute for any actual proccessing, healing, or coping. It gave me a false sense of inner peace. It gave me a false sense of outer peace as well, because I was so avoidant of any kind of conflict. I quit because I’d experienced trauma and it began to put me into really scary experiences where I wasn’t quite sure if I was losing my mind or not. I quit when I also quit drinking, which was almost 13 years ago now. Weed is the only substance I ever miss. Sometimes I wish I could just dabble a little bit and throw on some Planet Earth, but it is always so apparent that when I am craving it I am also very stressed out. If engaging with all of my other healthy coping skills works, then I didn’t actually need it in the first place. I sometimes wonder if when I’m old, I’ll fuck around with it again because at that point, why not?

i want to believe in god

life without god or something to live for is so hard sometimes i grew up christian but left the church when i was 15 bc i just feel like i can’t believe in something i cant see or feel. i’ve been trying to pray & believe in something bigger than myself but the moment something goes wrong it makes me doubt that there’s actually a god that is listening to me. could someone help me, if you believe in god..or if you don’t. what helps you believe? and if you don’t believe, what helps you on your hard days when you want help from someone bigger than yourself? it’s kinda depressing believing in absolutely nothing but i can’t force myself to believe, ya know?
