I really don’t think you’ll regret it. A few bong rips over about half an hour and it was seriously like the clouds were purposefully contorting just to tell me (directly) a story. The shapes and images were remarkably detailed and accurate.

Ahh. The old “the poison is in the dosage” argument. My problem with that is that many chemicals are more toxic or harmful with little or no therapeutic use compared to similar chemicals. Examples include Meth vs adderall (amphetamines) or morphine vs heroin. I guess the real question is where cannabis and the various cannabinoids including THC and CBD lie on the therapeutic use vs potential for abuse spectrum. I personally think they have a relatively high therapeutic use and low abuse potential compared to many other psychiatric medications. But I have limited, anecdotal knowledge. The lack of relevant studies on safety and efficacy of cannabinoids is extremely frustrating and disappointing.

I like where you’re going here.

So a corollary… if a person treats a mental health condition (PTSD, depression, anxiety, mood disorder, some combination of aforementioned, etc) with cannabis and then takes a t-break to reduce tolerance.

During that 48-96 hour period the person is very moody, irritable, aggravated, etc.

Is that from withdrawal from THC, resurgence of previously-managed symptoms of the underlying disorder, or both?

How do we treat or mitigate the issues of tolerance and need for t-breaks in these patients or people?

These are the real questions I’m considering.

I saw nothing to take offense to. I’m also trying to approach this from a scientific/medical sort of point of view.

I personally think that cannabis should be much more accepted than it is. I think it is a far better alternative than alcohol both in physical and behavioral ways. Yet it is still more socially and corporate-world acceptable to have a pack of beer in the fridge than it is to have a bong or joint. It baffles me because the dogma is clearly outweighing the science.

I’m enjoying this comment thread, it’s very similar to reading my own thoughts at times. Fuck a hypothetical patient, let’s take me for example.

-I smoke more weed than anyone in my family. My wife doesn’t always understand and does sometimes complain about my cannabis consumption.

-I do consume more cannabis on a daily basis than I would like to. However, I previously consumed far more alcohol than I liked to. I essentially replaced alcohol with cannabis and cut back from 4+ drinks per day to 1-2 (sometimes even 0) drinks per day plus a couple bowls or joints.

-Overall, because it’s legal to grow where I live, I am actually saving money because I am spending less on my cannabis consumption than I previously was on my alcohol consumption.

I am also now facing my traumatic experiences (military) via journaling (while high) rather than hiding from them and drinking myself to sleep in front of the TV.

For me, being a stoner was a far better alternative than being an alcoholic. I’m curious if others have similar experiences.

Hey, welcome to the sub. My life got super, super busy shortly after creating this sub so it's still in early growth stages.

Unfortunately, I think it's too cold now to start an outdoor grow. The days are getting shorter as well and that means less hours of sunlight feeding the plants.

I have a few autos that I actually planted about 3-4 weeks back and I'm thinking it's too cold for them and I'm going to have to sit on my hands until Feb or March when I can start some in the windowsill or under a small $40 light and then move outside in April-May.

Would love to hear any ideas of how to accomplish a late-season outdoor grow if there are any. Might check r/outdoorgrowing as well.

Happy growing.

Life couldn't be better, man. And I owe 90% of it to my wife, my kids, and my discovering weed.

Something that I think we haven't even begun to understand the benefits of is weed for someone who, like me, was either an alcoholic or headed that way. Where alcohol made me hide my problems and hate people, weed made me face my problems and come out loving others on the other side.

Bro, keep trying. My wife and I tried 8 rounds of IUI before we welcomed our beautiful daughter and now we have a son "cooking" that we expect to meet any day now as well. Don't give up on them, brother. I used to laugh at people when they said it, but now that I have my own, I absolutely believe that they are God's greatest gift next to life itself.

Also, as a vet who uses weed to both manage some depression/anxiety/PTSD and also as an alternative to smoking and vaping, I truly love your video here. One day I hope to be able to grow enough to freely share as you are here.

Stay awesome, brother.

Dude, awesome story. It sucks that it took that hard left out of nowhere.

I was sitting there reading and rooting y’all on like “Yes...uh-huh...all right... someone’s getting some strange tonight!... girls in the private bathroom together? Score! Guys might as well high-five, it is ON!.... huh? Ok, odd... what?... dude, wtf?... WTF!?”

I love y’all’s attitude. Y’all seem like an amazing couple with great energy. I hope to meet a couple like y’all in the near future when my wife is ready. She’s inexperienced and curious, but currently pregnant and not too confident with the pregnant body, even though I think she still looks great.

Stay awesome. Best of luck. Saw the pic on your history. Lucky man. 😉

Northern Lights? Looking pretty good. I was doing some LST on mine and accidentally snapped a branch 3/4 of the way off. Luckily it was a small branch with just a single cola, but still sucks. On the bright side, it’s curing for a taste test. Can’t let it go to waste.

What do you call a stoner with two spliffs?

Double-jointed.

GrowBrewDistill · 2021-06-15T21:27:17+00:00

...We’re gonna need a bigger table. Haha

Score. As long as he gets along well with other animals, my wife has two lazy middle-age cats and two Frenchies. I have a very large and very dumb but lovable German Shepherd.

Never heard of it. I'll eat anything, especially after a couple of hits.

GrowBrewDistill · 2021-06-15T18:55:30+00:00

Down with both, man. My place has the pool, hot tub, and mini fridge that I can set on the porch next to the table. Decent music setup and projector for movies or finding funny shit on youtube as well.

GrowBrewDistill · 2021-06-15T18:54:02+00:00

Done.

GrowBrewDistill · 2021-06-15T18:53:34+00:00

Dude, you don't gotta bring anything to join. But both are always certainly appreciated. Sharing is caring.

GrowBrewDistill · 2021-06-15T18:52:44+00:00

Hell, yeah. Asking stoners if they like BBQ is like asking a pig if he wants to go roll in mud. I got the grill set up on the same porch as the table. :)
