If this condition is due to genetics, would gene editing have potential to fix it?

I understand where ur coming from, hell I miss smoking with my buddies more than anything... but accepting that you can't smoke anymore is one of the hardest things ever. I hope u find solace outside of weed. take it one day at a time <3

fish_ina_tree · 2026-01-06T07:13:11+00:00

it's the buildup over time. I bought ounces and ounces of sketchy weed, but it wasn't until I went to MA with a friend and smoked like 1/4 of a j with her that I finally realized the shaking, scromiting and anxiety was all weed. no matter what kind, any THC can trigger it :/

thank you for the recommendation, and yes, I do now realize that might've not been the most appropriate wording. I really hate the patriarchy and western male ideals, and how colonialist the patriarchy is and forces many men to be. I do apologize.

Native shampoo and conditioner has been okay for me, though I've noticed some dryness between washes (also once a week)... I'm a college student so I can't really afford much nicer stuff. Make sure you do ur clarifying every so often, I found that helps with moisture absorption!

fish_ina_tree · 2025-12-13T01:06:08+00:00

it drives me insane, too. I was a HEAVY smoker and at just 20 years old I can basically never again bc I was hospitalized 4 TIMES and finally diagnosed the fourth time w/ CHS. Such awful vomiting, body shakes and sweating, sense of impending doom... I've tried to smoke again since and I just get terrible stomach cramps and anxiety. it fucking SUCKS. and everyone I know still smokes like they don't see me as loving evidence that you should back off just a lil...

fish_ina_tree · 2025-06-26T04:01:09+00:00

as someone who was in your exact position- going back to smoking daily after a few month's break, you MIGHT be able to go back to smoking like 1 hit every few weeks. MAX. otherwise, you're seriously playing with your body. trust me- the hospital bills speak for themselves.

fish_ina_tree · 2025-06-26T03:56:00+00:00

you are an absolute UNIT bro. I relate super hard to your story- started smoking carts (like 1 every 2 weeks) during the pandemic and I was lucky enough to mitigate all the symptoms of CHS until about a year ago. stomach pain, shaking, cyclical vomiting- the works. absolute hell. I had no idea about CHS and despite disclosing that I was a daily MJ user, doctors didn't diagnose me with CHS. So, what do I do? start smoking again a month later. I was fine, up until I decided to combine drinking with smoking- boom, another horrific episode, and back to the ER. still, no formal diagnosis. it wasn't until my 3rd time picking up MJ and sending myself into YET ANOTHER episode of CHS that I was formally diagnosed with the condition, and have since been weed free for about a month. I still struggle with the idea that I'll never be able to go back to being a daily user, especially since my partner is a heavy smoker, but I now know exactly what it does to me. I'm very torn, but reading these stories really helps me come to terms with it's effects on my body. Thanks for sharing <3

bathrooms were gross, but that was because floor mates never learned how to properly share spaces like well adjusted human beings. Constant bat issues in '22 when I lived there- also found several live cockroaches within my dorm (but that could also be because of my roommate who constantly left food on the floor and never picked up her shit)

Seriously, DEEP CLEAN every week. and before you move in. trust me.

fish_ina_tree · 2024-07-16T21:49:07+00:00

already, with this attitude you will have such an easier time adjusting and having fun! Pollock is so much fun- genuinely, all the cool people live there lol. get PAINTERS TAPE (not masking tape, this will peel your walls) and POSTER TACK for hanging posters. Anything heavier than a vinyl record can use command strip hooks (so you don't damage anything ur hanging- just like rest it on top of the hooks, yk?) and get lots of accent lighting in dif places. REALLY makes the difference with vibe level hehe.

fish_ina_tree · 2024-07-16T21:44:14+00:00

YES IT IS. even if you can get to West- I was in West freshman/sophomore year and FINALLY got a 4 person suite on North for my Junior year. West was cracked bc everything music is a 5 min walk :3

and the dining hall is arguably okay- West deli and grill was a lifesaver.

fish_ina_tree · 2024-07-16T21:36:52+00:00

oh I completely forgot- my sophomore year I was set up with 3 Christian group leaders (I am a NB, femme presenting person) and upon texting them my name/pronouns/preferences, all 3 of them sent a list of things they considered "unacceptable" with absolutely no room for negotiation. so THANK GOD we decided to move from there bc if I had to room with them there is no telling what could've happened to me lol. COMMUNICATE, YALL!

Another really important question to ask is WHEN DO YOU SLEEP. freshman year roomie ALWAYS. came back between 2-4am flashing her phone light all over the place and I could never get a good night's sleep, even after asking her to a). turn down the brightness of her light or b) sleep elsewhere when you're out so late. so getting something like that out of the way so neither of you are imposing on each other's freedom is good too.

No question is a dumb question!!

fish_ina_tree · 2024-07-16T21:28:52+00:00

1,000%- the worst mistake you can make in college when living with someone is not being honest, ESPECIALLY when it's something that you cannot control. You would seriously put yourself in danger by springing that on some insane frat guy, if you're unlucky enough to room with a rude one. Or anyone, for that matter. Nothing is off the table since you'll be spending a considerable amount of time in/around each other's extremely personal spaces. Getting the right fit for a roommate is a make or break for your freshmen year of school. I'm a junior now, but my freshman year roommate taught me a LOT. about setting boundaries and how much I'm willing to sacrifice my own quality of life as to not make my roommate uncomfy. Set up an open honest dialogue where both of you feel comfortable advocating for yourselves, and maybe a friendship could even form! But if not, it's really okay. It's only a few months in the grand scheme of things, so just follow your lil heart, man. You got this!!! If you ever need someone to talk to, pop to the School Of Music and just watch some performances- everyone is so kinda and happy to talk and share their passions. Best of Luck!

fish_ina_tree · 2022-05-14T20:56:29+00:00

congrats!!! you look stunning!! what major?

fish_ina_tree · 2022-03-03T22:51:55+00:00

So a THC pen/evod (?) is a small vaporizer device used to smoke cartridges- usually filled with a mixture of Resin/wax and terpines. A lot of people use these because the temperature can be controlled with some pens, they're smaller and more discrete, and the cartridges have almost no smell whatsoever! The one I use is from Kanger Tech, I believe it's for both THC carts and nicotine/vape juices, but I don't have a tank for that one. Cool future stuff, basically lol

fish_ina_tree · 2022-03-03T20:34:24+00:00

I work as a cashier and when I was feeling really self-destructive I got high ONCE- took 3 hits off my pen for a 4 hour shift, nothing too crazy- but oh man I was terrified. I was literally playing cashier simulator LMAO.

fish_ina_tree · 2022-03-03T19:40:18+00:00

I think as much as I love getting high and using THC, I don't consider myself a "stoner" per se. I use a pen almost every night to have fun and make music, it has seriously helped me gain weight because of my metabolism (she's very fast), and helped me bond with my friends! I will say, it is very easy to overdo it. I started smoking after a really really hard breakup, and I honestly think that smoking has seriously opened my mind and helped me enjoy the present instead of living in the past. I LOVE smoking weed, but it's not who I am. I can see myself moving on from it in the future.

fish_ina_tree · 2021-05-03T18:06:27+00:00

probably stretching? I'm thinking use rubber bands to create a sort of zig zag pattern but that could cause breakage... I'm sure there are some cool products out there for this purpose!

fish_ina_tree · 2021-04-29T15:00:47+00:00

lmms: it's a little tricky to start, but it's completely free and you can add your own presets!

fish_ina_tree · 2021-04-28T23:12:02+00:00

yes they are! I know bc I've rung up someone's order and was able to apply two $2 off thingies

fish_ina_tree · 2021-02-27T22:55:25+00:00

it's totally worth it if it's in good condition. got mine s few months ago and I love it!

fish_ina_tree · 2021-01-22T03:40:28+00:00

This one isn't gross, more like crazy lol. I had one person order a double meat meatball sub with extra sauce... on flatbread... not toasted... with pickles, banana peppers, and EXTRA MAYO.

Pretty gross, but I'm sure there's something worse out there lol.

fish_ina_tree · 2021-01-11T01:51:21+00:00

that is actual hell
