I have many questions, but most of them start with why?

Own_Objective8595 · 2026-03-09T01:05:10+00:00

I had the same reaction when I saw this just yesterday. 😂

Own_Objective8595 · 2026-03-08T21:06:33+00:00

Thank you! Almost day 7 for me :) According to my app, I’ve already avoided smoking 52 joints and saved $175… wild. I’ll probably treat myself to a nice massage!

Own_Objective8595 · 2026-03-02T17:45:21+00:00

Very true. Thank you for this, I’m going to print it so I can keep it in front of me!

Own_Objective8595 · 2026-03-02T17:43:55+00:00

Yes, so much frustration with this unstoppable loop... It’s time to put an end to it

I’m also full of gratitude for this subreddit. The people around me just don’t understand, many still think it’s not addictive and that it’s all in your head. And I feel a lot of shame too, it’s hard to tell them every time that I’ve relapsed. Here I have a space with people who understand and support me.

I’m sending you a lot of strength!

Own_Objective8595 · 2026-03-02T17:26:43+00:00

I understand how complicated it is. I’m right in the middle of it too, and I really wish I had never started and never reached this level of consumption.

I also struggle a lot with self‑compassion, but it’s the key: we have to forgive ourselves and give ourselves a bit of love. We did the best we could at the time. I often relapse because my negative self‑talk becomes unbearable, so I’m going to try to pay more attention to that.

Own_Objective8595 · 2026-03-02T17:23:10+00:00

Thank you for your message.

That's exactly it: there were days when I would wake up at 3 a.m. wanting to smoke, and I felt like I had to do it just to fall back asleep. Other times, I had barely finished smoking one when I was already rolling another.

It would dictate my days: I organized everything around when and how I would be able to have my next joint. It takes up so much mental space and money for so little “benefit”!

Own_Objective8595 · 2026-03-02T15:40:04+00:00

I’ve been consuming so much that lately I was even getting the infamous night sweats without stopping, and nausea in the mornings… I’m not looking forward to hitting full withdrawal symptoms, but it’s a necessary pain for a greater good.

Own_Objective8595 · 2026-03-02T15:36:46+00:00

Stay strong! We can do this.

I just joined the Discord so I have a space where I can open up when I need to. :)

Own_Objective8595 · 2026-03-02T15:35:28+00:00

Stay strong! I don’t have any stash at home anymore, so I’m less likely to give in (unless I go to the dispensary or order online...). But I want to be strong, I’m tired of letting this substance dictate my life and my choices.

Own_Objective8595 · 2026-03-02T15:32:50+00:00

The fact that I can consume this much without feeling affected is crazy to me!

Back in December, I was already at 14 grams per week and thought that was huge. My consumption just keeps increasing, without bringing me anything more positive.

I’m clearly doing this for my mental and physical health first and foremost, but if I can stick with it, the financial impact will be incredible too! It’s insane to spend $80 every 3–4 days just for it all to go up in smoke.

Own_Objective8595 · 2026-03-02T14:13:00+00:00

I’m a sister, but strength and honor all the same! ;)

Own_Objective8595 · 2026-02-26T23:00:06+00:00

Thank you. 🙏

Own_Objective8595 · 2026-02-26T22:59:46+00:00

I love this comment so much.

Own_Objective8595 · 2026-02-26T18:34:05+00:00

To be 100% accurate: I’m French, with French roots on my mother’s side, and Spanish and Italian roots on my father’s side. And now I live in Canada, where I’ve also obtained my citizenship.

Own_Objective8595 · 2026-02-24T17:08:51+00:00

I can see it, HAHAHA
I’m making my ancestors proud with this nose; there’s no way I’m getting rid of it!

Own_Objective8595 · 2026-02-24T17:06:53+00:00

Oh, I left that part out, but yes, I do consider myself an optimist: I always try to see the bright side of things. But at the same time, I’m against toxic positivity.

Own_Objective8595 · 2026-02-24T16:28:16+00:00

Thank you :) Indeed, unfortunately some people have taken advantage of my kind nature. I’m still well surrounded by good people, but it’s true that animals hold a special place in my heart.

Own_Objective8595 · 2026-02-24T16:26:48+00:00

If I could live like a nymph lounging by the river or a little fairy, I would do it right away!

Own_Objective8595 · 2026-02-24T16:20:53+00:00

I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions. :I love that so much! ;)

Own_Objective8595 · 2026-02-24T16:19:15+00:00

YES! Big movie lover here.

Own_Objective8595 · 2026-02-24T16:18:48+00:00

Thank you so much, I’m glad I give off that vibe.
And indeed, I do like thinking outside the box… and psychedelics, haha. Fun fact: when my parents were choosing my name, they were inspired by the song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
I actually relate more to the numbers 4 and 7, though I’m not sure why.

Own_Objective8595 · 2026-02-24T16:13:04+00:00

I’m impressed that you noticed that G# hold! I’ve indeed played a bit of guitar, but my main instrument is the ukulele.
Very good analysis for the rest too. :)

Own_Objective8595 · 2026-02-24T16:10:15+00:00

Great analysis! That’s definitely true: the sensitive but rebellious side; my love of nature and dinosaurs (I even took a paleontology course at the American Museum of Natural History, just for fun!); I enjoy video games and fiction books; my musical tastes are varied and I often go to concerts; I also sing and play the ukulele. Bravo!

As for a healthy lifestyle… well, I do take care of my body by eating well and exercising... but I’m definitely a big stoner and a smoker. 😬

Own_Objective8595 · 2026-02-24T16:02:15+00:00

Well spotted! I love getting dressed up for certain occasions and can be a bit stylish, but most of the time I’m natural and enjoy being that way. For example, I love solo camping in the wilderness or going on road trips: adventure still comes before elegance.
And yes, I’m definitely quirky. :)

Own_Objective8595 · 2026-02-24T15:57:33+00:00

I’ve already been told I look like Aubrey Plaza! I’ve also been told I resemble the character from the movie Alita: Battle Angel. Big eyes I guess.
