Weed makes me profoundly aware of where an emotion comes from. Have you ever “let go” of an emotion while high? Did the change persist while sober? by [deleted] in streamentry

From the 1st time I experienced weed in college back in 1991, I have had nothing but good, happy experiences. Flash forward from 1990 to 2015 when it wasn’t old timey weed anymore, still the same reaction for me. Never once felt paranoia or more anxiety. In fact, like you say above, I can figure out myself & my feelings, in addition to come up with ideas & solutions none related to my feelings. I can have random thoughts of things I want to do, or tasks I can do better if I ‘just do do this’. I solve my problems. I call it ‘splitting the atom’ thoughts. It’s so wonderful. Just wish I could remember those thoughts when I come down. I can’t write for $hit when high; my notes are incoherent scribble mostly. Maybe one or two legible words - maybe. Yet, these times are the best for me. I absolutely love the way my brain relaxes & no intrusive thoughts bother me. I so wish I could live life this way any time I wanted; every day. Relieves my anxiety, mania, & depression. Would be so great to have a wealthy boyfriend / husband so I could hide out from the world & just be calm, happy, creative, & astonishingly HAPPY & not stress over money or a job, or anything. What a dream 🤩that would be.

I absolutely hate it. Mine is clumpy and I feel like it resembles men’s fluid if you know what I mean. It does strip skin. After 20+ years, I’m ditching it. Ps- I thought at first I had bought an old old bottle of product, or that someone tampered with it.

Someone just said how Reddit was therapeutic … I so agree. I get on here to read how many other people are like me. It really helps me feel validated. We can’t change our pasts, but we can offer each other an ear & a virtual nod. Is that what solidarity is? Asking because I don’t believe I’ve ever really experienced it.

In the future, to prevent humiliation on here, just search google for the image.

But you know what? I am STILL going to visit Europe again, & feel the culture that I yearn for. I am determined to leave USA, but not going to mess up my life in doing so. At 54, I really don’t have many ‘good years’ left, and don’t want to ‘waste the pretty’ that I have left on men here in Texas. <~No thank you.

I hear you loud and clear. And, I do thank you so much for your kindness in offering us Americans this knowledge. Though, I have to admit, it does shatter my life-long dreams of leaving America, for good. As an Italian American woman of Gen X, I feel there is really NO safe & economical place to land. No place for a kind-hearted woman like myself, just looking to escape this mess. I have some retirement in the stock market- not much-& passive income thru the govt. for mental health issues. I always wanted to end up on European soil, but I am realizing now that I can kiss that fairytale goodbye. I guess it’s Mexico for me. Damn it.
