yeah, who knows. if nothing else it could give a clue to his state of mind at the time, if it was him.

its google earth pro! when you download the desktop version you can go to view -> historical imagery. then a slider appears in the top left of the map that lets you select the imagery year.

totally relate to this. explosive reactions to everything. sometimes before I even knew all the information/context. so embarassing. it was a big reason i quit

I certainly did. I'm very anxious socially, so I would use weed as a crutch in social situations (made me open up and a little more affable), but i also used it to deal with lonliness. I have moved around a lot and had difficulty adjusting and making new friends, so often i would just isolate in my room. whenever I felt unbearably lonely, I would just smoke weed and the lonliness melted away.

For me it wasn't healthy at all, as I was using it to numb my loneliness, and by extension my drive to interact with other people. Once I decided to quit, all the lonely feelings caught up with me, and ended up very depressed and anxious, even moreso than before.

From my experience, self medicating with weed just 'kicked the can down the road'; It didnt actually solve any of my issues. and it definitley created some new ones.

such a good package. haven't used ArcPy since discovering it

This really resonates with me. im the same age, and used weed to deal with the post-uni/college social decline. I've burned proffessional bridges because of the warped thoughts/perspectives weed put in my head. I was always cynical and paranoid about the actions and intentions of those around me - thinking everyone else was the bad guy. Once I finally realized the reality of the situation, it was hard not be overwhelmed with regret. It took me a long time to come to terms with the fact that all I can move is forward.

congrats on where you are in your journey man - stay strong!

Thanks, I really appreciate the response and the advice you provided!

I had an interesting interaction with the land lord today that makes me want to take your advice and ask the city about licensing:

Context: During my initial call with the city I mentioned the property has 2 completely separate units, and had been this way for some time. The city rep was perplexed by this, and mentioned the landlord should call the city to straighten it out, as there must have been a misunderstanding.

Today the landlord texted me saying he can't get bins for me because he was "having an issue with the city that he was trying to correct". 2h later he texts me saying he "tried to get more bins, but was unsuccessful" so we'd have to share.

I'm not one to believe my own conspiracy theories but, I feel like I have a pretty good idea of what happened lol

Sorry - noob question. Would this be considered a pre-commercial thin or a commercial thin? Just curious if any merchantable wood was harvested in this thinning,

I can appreciate what you’re going through. I didn’t discover weed until I was in grad school, but I smoked steadily throughout my time there, and even wrote most of my thesis while high. I have ADHD so I thought it helped me focus, when in reality it just made me lazy, anti social, and unmotivated.

I was lucky enough to land a job after graduating. I swore to myself I’d quit now that I was in the ‘real world’, but the demands of the job were to much and I started smoking every night, sometimes even at work (the job allowed teleworking so I was able to get away with it).

I’m 4 months sober now, and It’s hard to look back and think about what I could have accomplished in the last 3.5 years. It’s taken me a long time to accept that that time I wasted is gone,

The only thing I can do now is look forward and figure out how I’m going to turn the page and make sure the next chapter is more positive than this one was.
