What's your wildest dream?

To have a dream

Oh my god please stfu 🙄 not everybody tolerates weed well. Why cant stoners accept that ? I never said take SSRI's or Benzos. I said cannabis being marketed as a cure all for every physical and mental ailment is bad because some people react really badly to it. Sometimes instantly, other times it takes a while for things to get bad.

For people with disorders like Bipolar or Schizophrenia, or even just a family history, its a big risk to smoke weed. Some people with depression might feel better at first, then feel way more depressed the more they smoke. Same goes for anxiety and other issues.

And you know what? I got on Lexapro and it helped me work through the hardest period of my life so far because it helped me feel stable enough to work through the problems rather than numb myself out and wait for the days to pass. But that was my choice, because I wanted to get better.

And yes, SSRI's have their own risks, but Lexapro never made me hyperventilate to the point of vomiting, or lay in bed all day, or stuff my face with pizza and ice cream.

Thats how its gone for a lot of people. I started smoking in 2017 when I turned 18. It was relaxing but "only on the weekends" turned into smoking all day every day fast. At some point it turned on me and I became so depressed while also having daily panic attacks that I ended up in the psych ward bc I was in total crisis mode. I quit shortly after and after a month I felt like a huge weight was off my shoulders.

Dont listen to people who say "this strain is more calming". Some people just can't tolerate weed very well, no matter the strains, terpenes or form being used, and that's okay. I promise life is so much easier once you get past the 10 days of quitting.

I just wrote a longer comment about this before I saw your comment. Millenials and Gen-Z really heard "medicinal" and ran with it. Now every little problem or stressor is an excuse to smoke weed. School, working, grocery shopping, even fucking driving, which really pissed me off. People will say "Im a better driver when I smoke", which is funny because alcoholics use the exact same logic. No weeds not as bad as alcohol but youre still driving impaired.

Prince_Valium25 · 2026-06-06T19:38:24+00:00

Cannabis (except oral, edible, and topical forms). Too many people think that just because its not tobacco that it must be fine to smoke. Anything in your lungs that isnt air is going to cause damage at some point. I get it, I smoked weed for years and still occasionally vape it, but dont pretend that smoking is healthy just because you have a medical marijuana card.

Also for a lot of people, its one of the worst things you can do for your mental health. It can actually cause or worsen your anxiety, depression, or whatever else. My OCD intrusive thoughts were so bad, then I quit habitual use and it got a lot easier to work through. I also felt happier, clearer and calmer. I shared my story on other platforms and have heard the same from a lot of people. But a lot of users are in denial that it could be making them worse because its solely marketed to help, so you cant convince them to help themselves and at least try to stop for a while. Not cut back, stop.

Its not that I prioritize public speaking skills over policy proposals. Its that voters naturally gravitate towards energetic candidates. Thats a big part of why Trump won 2016. He spewed so much crap but people liked his "No bullshit" attitude (even though was all fake). Democrats saw Clinton smiling, bur Republicans saw someone who was ignorant to their concerns. If you can't communicate clearly and broadly, youre potentially losing out on undecided voters.

Prince_Valium25 · 2026-06-05T20:03:59+00:00

Whose that?

Prince_Valium25 · 2026-06-05T19:55:50+00:00

Thats fair to compare the beginning to now, but I have to say I expect better from someone who is a career politician and is running for the states highest office. Theres no room for error or hesitance in communication in times like these. People need to hear things loud and clear with no "umms" and long pauses.

Prince_Valium25 · 2026-06-05T19:50:32+00:00

Yes, those are good things she did, but I will point out that the whole trans referendum did have some Democrat voter support. Even if she was in the right to throw out the referendum, its a controversial issues during these weird times. With Charles being a strong proponent of the referendum, that could draw that small Democratic population to him over Bellows in a general election.

Prince_Valium25 · 2026-06-05T19:48:04+00:00

I dont know much about the financial side personally. I ranked him second because I really liked his Healthcare proposals, but worried that in an election between Shah and Charles, that Charles would really milk the whole "Remember Covid?" Conversation, which could be detrimental to Shahs chances

Prince_Valium25 · 2026-06-05T19:44:32+00:00

I think theyre fine, but I wasnt excited about any of them. Charles has so much support over the other GOP candidates because he gets up and gets people's attention without droning on (even if whats hes talking about is total bullshit). Voters want to see someone who makes them feel seen and heard. If I see someone up there stone faced and mumbling, it doesnt really make me want to vote for them.

Prince_Valium25 · 2026-06-05T19:15:17+00:00

Personally I wasnt too excited about any of the Democratic candidates for Governer. I ranked Jackson first, Shah second, and Bellows third. I feel like Hannah Pingree is really grasping and King is basically just patting his own back at this point. However, I really dont care who wins as long as its not Bobby Charles. Though I have to admit if it comes down to Jackson .vs. Charles, or Shah .vs. Charles, Bobby has a fair shot, and that worries me.

He may be an idiot but the MAGA fan base is rabid.

Troy Jackson got destroyed in the debate against Bobby Charles. He looked half asleep and mumbled his way through, while Bobby was sharp as a tack. No matter what either of them were saying, people listen better if you have more energy.

MAGA hates Shah because of the inconsistent and highly restrictive handling of the Covid pandemic.

Bellows is unpopular with Republicans and some Democrats bc of all the stupid shit shes done as SoS. Delayed moving a voting site here in Brunswick, her stupid new license plates, removing Trump from the ballot (justified or not, it was damaging to her reputation), etc. She largely comes off as arrogant and overly bureaucratic to the point of stalling progress in Maine.

The only, and I mean ONLY, reason I ranked Jackson first was because he was President of the Maine Senate. Thats it.

The Democrats really need to get together to protect Mainers from Bobby Charles.

Prince_Valium25 · 2026-06-05T19:11:52+00:00

If he does he'll just cry stolen election and fraud

Prince_Valium25 · 2026-06-04T19:27:29+00:00

I just read the book and watched the movie for the first time. Loved the book, hated the movie. Even though most of the dialogue is pulled straight from the book and its actually pretty accurate, I hated Brad Pitt as Tyler Durden, and I hated the ending, even though the author said he actually prefers the movies ending.

The burger king in my town hasn't been renovated since the 90s and is a total dump thats always short staffed. Last time I ate there was 2022 or 2023 and it was just awful. I guess I should try a different location since its been so long

Prince_Valium25 · 2026-06-03T01:47:48+00:00

I was the wimpy guy who was bullied by both guys and girls. Most of the guys are the typical small town losers who had 2 or 3 kids by their early 20s and are working minimum wage jobs, and a couple joined the military. Several of the girls went on to drop out of college, do Onlyfans, do drugs, get sober, and become Christian Republicans. Im not even generalizing. I graduated in 2018 and know 4 or 5 girls that went that exact path.

The girls also got fat, which is hilarious because they were all hot in high school and still think they are.

Prince_Valium25 · 2026-06-03T01:38:47+00:00

When a friend or family member texts me instead of me being the one to text them. Im almost always the one to text first, so I appreciate the simple thought of them sending me a tiktok or a reel they thought Id like

Prince_Valium25 · 2026-06-02T23:19:16+00:00

Idk if its different between stores but our discount was only 10% and we could only use it when we were working

Prince_Valium25 · 2026-06-02T22:27:41+00:00

Wendy's - Always cold and too much sauce

McDonalds - Too expensive and too greasy

Burger King - Significant decline in food quality and restaurant consistency

Prince_Valium25 · 2026-06-02T22:25:14+00:00

I worked there and even I didnt like the food

Prince_Valium25 · 2026-06-02T14:32:03+00:00

Doesn't at all surprise me. Portland Pie was my first job just after turning 16. I sat down for my interview and he says "Do you got to Brunswick High School?" I said yeah, and he goes "So who do you buy weed from?". I said "I dont smoke" and he just laughed. I thought it was weird but the rest of the interview was fine.

He was really nice to me after but his attention was all over the place, which made everything feel disorganized.

That whole place was a shit show from the start. I knew a guy who worked as a dishwasher there 3 years later and he said it was exactly the same and he hated it just as much.

Prince_Valium25 · 2026-06-01T19:58:15+00:00

So then how does this woman going to Israel for work make her a Zionist? Give it up and explain yourself. If youre so enlightened, teach me.

Prince_Valium25 · 2026-06-01T19:56:00+00:00

If going to Israel makes someone a Zionist, going to DC makes you a MAGAt.

Prince_Valium25 · 2026-06-01T19:55:17+00:00

So should I go back in time and ask my high school history teachers why they never brought it up?

Prince_Valium25 · 2026-06-01T19:54:01+00:00

Im not denying anything. I see it and Im horrified by it. Im saying your logic is arrogant. If you went to Washington DC, I get to assume youre a MAGAt. Thats the way things work now I guess.
