CAN BE DANGEROUS, FORCES YOU TO USE RESPECTFULLY AFTER A WHILE
unlike other people here I've had bad trips and bad highs and not been totally turned off of weed. but like all good things for me, it's incredibly specific and conditionial. mostly because I am actually, medically hypersensitive. everything I take and do is in comparatively small doses and my experience will peak at a certain dose and then nosedive from there. I started with like 25mg edibles and had a great time for a long time. eventually worked myself into reverse tolerance over the course of a bad year. not a huge deal, I just started doing it once a month again, or longer. and it really wasn't a hard transition for me. but one time when I was in my longest tolerance break I was offered half an edible and went yeah sure. um it was 50mg of a strain I already didn't like. I had fun for five minutes and then for three hours I couldn't talk and vertigo was so bad I couldn't move. wanted to throw up but I couldn't move a muscle in my body. and all I could see was stars in my vision. for the first time on weed I was actually tripping too. it's the only time I've been high that I remember extremely vividly y'know. thought I was gonna die the whole time. that traumatized me for a while and even then it took me a bit to finally stop all together. weed isn't addictive but my body was begging for something and that's all I knew. but nowadays I've found alternatives for everything but pain and the high itself, mainly adrenal suppliments and even then there's aleve and shit. I didn't think there's any risk to using edibles but apparently if you're chronically ill or getting reverse tolerance a green out can get really intense and actually be dangerous. but I think the "high" and "experienced user" amounts are 1. subjective and 2. kind of wild. even a 2mg edible can get me a good time so it's best to accept and learn that trying to achieve some kind of heroic dose of weed of all things is dumb. it doesn't do anything after a certain amount I promise. I mostly take edibles for pain because I don't want to be too dissociated. or I bump with other things for the fun of it. but I prefer to do it alone and make a little ritual out of it. it doesn't feel like a "party drug" to me it feels like the only way to get my body to relax a little yk

You started with 25mg???? Thats crazy the first time I tried weed I had a probably 12mg edible and nearly died. But I generally have a similar experience to you, I have had some shitty greening out experiences and typically have problems with disassociation when I smoke a lot but I still love the game

@EATGRAEPS yes LOL but I honestly had a great time I was just zooted out of this world. but it was before my other symptoms I struggle with sober got worse, nowadays I'd have to lay down the whole time or I would get so motion sick LOL. I was told that was a "moderate dose" though, and I keep hearing shit like 50mg is just a high dose and 100mg+ is for "experienced users". mf nobody should be doing over 100mg wdym!!! I still do it for the love of the game too tho lol. A little dissociation can be great just don't want it to follow me for too long sober for sure

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.

SHE’S CUTE OR WHATEVER
Big fan! Lately, I’ve definitely been smoking more than usual (and more than I should), but on the whole, it helps me get going in the right amount. In the mornings/ early afternoon, I’ll get my coffee and take a hit or two, and then I’m in the perfect balance of caffeinated and high. I love to cook with thc as well. I learned how to make infused beef stock, so with that and good ole cannabutter, I have made some pretty damn good meals. This is a lot of experimentation, and sometimes the experiment knocks me on my ass, but it’s all part of the fun for me. I do notice that I will sometimes fall in a cycle of smoking because I’m anxious, then getting even more anxious/ paranoid, then smoking some more to try and balance it out (this does not work).

FORMER LOVER TURNED OCCASIONAL PASSERBY
Me and miss mary jane go way back, a solid decade atp, and it’s crazy to think how different my relationship with her is now. I actually just got a memory notification from the time I was pretty physically dependent on her. I for sure used weed as a crutch through some really tough periods of grief and trauma in my late teens and early twenties. I didn’t plan it this way, but when I quit nicotine last year I also kinda quit weed. I refused to let dependency form again when quitting nicotine as I had previously struggled to fall asleep without weed. So when I cut nic, I cut all inhalants. And haven’t really picked them back up again with the exception of a literal handful of joint hits in the last 10 months. Another big part of that for me was how well I could breathe again. I don't think I was nearly both as active and at rest as I am now that I don’t really partake as much anymore. I recently took an edible with a friend and just felt anxious. Safe to say I think that chapter of my life is closing, not that it was a bad chapter, just a different one. I’ve replaced my old habits with new ones, I’ve been quad skating a lot more, creating more, reading more. Things I never felt motivated to do when I was high all the time. Things that do take the edge off of life and stress in a new way that feels more gratifying for me than weed ever did.

ITS WASTEFUL, IMMORAL, ANNOYING, ETC
you can do whatever you want, but if you really want to hear my opinion on it... at best, ai-art is demoralizing to actual human beings and creates novelty slop that vaugely looks like an art piece, while not harboring any skill in using it. and theres nothing wrong with not wanting to make art fir the skill of it, though. but at worst, it's an environmental and economic disaster, a predatory business model to consumers and customers of AI, and a great way for businessmen to try and take creativity away from us to turn us into cogs in the machine. it's built off of the stolen work of artists who already struggled to make a living, now forced out by a tool that's turned on them with their own work. it can help make propaganda that is virtually unidentifiable, turn victims into deepfakes, and generally evil we have yet to see. and that's just the image side of things, but the cons of all types of ai models overlap. I've had to watch people throw away their lifelong dreams because of this garbage. it's no coincidence elonely muskrat and every ceo you can think of are obsessed with it - it's a perverse business tool. I wouldn't mind coexisting with it if it wasn't out to get me. but it is. I also feel like it's the reason nobody makes fun photobashes or random photoshops anymore. it will never fully phase out human art but I think it's starting to take over the photography world, especially commercially. I'm sick of  looking up real places and animals and sorting through fake slop im being told is real.
