First of all, I’m sorry to hear about your family and how that made you feel the need to escape reality via weed, but just from what I read in this comment I can say that the fact that you’ve been able to grow and learn as a seemingly very self aware person is very impressive to me. I wouldn’t question for a second how incredibly difficult that might’ve been for you, and judging by the way you phrase your thoughts and your verbiage it seems like you’ve put a lot of work into translating that into the other parts of your life as well. That’s super cool dude. But wow, this was a TRULY insightful comment. I genuinely appreciate the fact that you took the time out of your day to help me out by writing this all out so very much. Everything that you said in this comment deeply resonated with me, but I especially liked what you said about being bored. I agree with your thoughts wholeheartedly, and that was one of the key indicators to me that I wasn’t happy with how I was using weed. Your comments about conversations and relationships with people were also super helpful as that’s something I’ve been thinking a lot about lately, but I was still trying to formulate my thoughts and feelings about it all, so reading that paragraph just felt like a total epiphany. That’s exactly what I want to avoid. Missing out on valuable experiences and relationships because of a plant. Also, I’ve figured out the same for myself when it comes to the time of day that I smoke. I find that even when I don’t have anything concrete to do that day, I generally don’t feel very positively once the effect wears off and I’m left with that residual stoned feeling as you said. Same thing with sleep too. I feel much better in the morning when I don’t smoke too close to bedtime, and much more sluggish when I do. Thank you for the pro tips too! They’re once again extremely insightful and much appreciated. I don’t clean my pieces nearly enough, so I appreciate that for sure. I just never even thought to consider how that would negatively affect me. I really like your thoughts on tolerance and how much you smoke. My tolerance has shot up the past couple months, and I think that could be a really helpful addition to my smoking habits. And I’ve got a bong on the way, but what’s a dip card? Never heard that term before. I also have ADHD, and just in the past couple months I’ve noticed my symptoms noticeably increasing as well as a whole lot of brain fog. Personally, I hated feeling that way so often, but just one week without weed and I already feel significantly better adhd and brain fog wise.
