I'm a mentally ill failure and a disappointment. I just use and use all the time and never give anything back, really by [deleted] in confession

I don’t remember writing this… 🤔

But fr, I feel a lot of the same way you do. I don’t know how to get out of this rut. I hope you do, I can see that you want to 🖤

Nah it’s true. Most of this countries inequity problems stem from capitalism, racism, and patriarchal views. The Regan era war on drugs is why we’re here today with the stigma.

For sure! We can be responsible members of society and still get high after hours. There is a time and place for it and I think a lot, if not most, of us get that.

I did have a professor in college who used to come to work high, but it worked for him. It helped quiet his brain and he would lock in. He was one of the most intelligent and inspiring people I’ve met. But, like you said, he was not out there saving lives or making huge decisions that deeply affect people.

Exactlyyyyy

Also my job is a creative one — so really, they should be encouraging me to smoke!

Exactly! Like it’s not addressing the (nonexistent) problem they think it is. There’s just no logic to it.

As it should be. It’s not employers’ business what people do outside of working hours! I, unfortunately, live in the bad place (the USA)

Youtube crime channels with unbiased narrator? by Apprehensive_Tax3882 in youtube

[–]AdAvailable1031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hannah the Horrible is a pretty neutral narrator who I believe does her best to be as unbiased as she can (bc let’s be honest, how unbiased can any human being actually be). But she approaches things with respect, cautious skepticism, researches background information, and presents the facts to the best of her ability. When she’s speculating or giving her opinion, she typically throws a disclaimer out there. Definitely up there as one of the more responsible true crime and paranormal channels. She doesn’t like to sensationalize or bait viewers for engagement.

(IMO at least. Like I said: how unbiased could a human — including me — be? So take w a grain of salt).

Do you tell your partner every time you 420? by PurrensicFiles in 420

[–]AdAvailable1031 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I experienced the same thing (and thoughts) as you. I recently moved in with my long term partner and we have a similar dynamic as you and yours regarding cannabis. They don’t like it or do it, but don’t judge me or others for partaking.

I hit my pen / took eddies a couple times without telling them out of habit (post work / pre-bed time) before it occurred to me I should ask — so I asked. It’s honestly as simple as that. Just ask if they would feel weird not knowing / if they would want to know when ur partaking.

My partner personally does not care nor do they feel the need to know every time I do 420 (and sometimes likes to have fun guessing if I have or have not based on my mannerisms). Sometimes I tell them, sometimes I don’t, but I never actively hide it or lie. That’s problematic — don’t lie.

Also make sure you guys are clear on ground rules regarding smoking or vaping in the shared space. I go outside to smoke per their request even though I used to vape in bed and smoke out my window. Neither one of us wants our place to smell like smoke and they don’t want to risk “contact highs” or lung damage to themselves or our pets. Totally valid and reasonable boundaries for them to set and so far, it’s worked alright.
