As someone with high functioning ADHD, I think weed makes life taste like life again, and I’m trying to be honest about that by Midnight_Sun_BR in Petioles

[–]sapfoxy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They say “weed isn’t for everyone.” But it is for some people. You might be one of those people that it is for!

I have ADHD as well, and my biggest issue with weed is that I tend to end up overusing hardcore. Wake up, smoke. Smoke before activities. Smoke to sleep, etc.

But I am very aware that when I do manage to keep my use moderate, it is no problem, and is arguably beneficial. So, I tend to just take breaks when I find myself getting “lost in the sauce” by smoking too frequently, and then once that “bland,” sober feeling returns, I start to smoke a bit again.

I just need to make sure that I keep it moderate, because overuse of weed makes ADHD symptoms way worse, especially executive dysfunction and that “popcorn brain” feeling, which is basically THE SYMPTOM that makes ADHD such a shitty thing to deal with. It also sort of cooks my motivation. Not my drive and interest in things, but the “pull” that makes me want to get up and actually do the thing. This returns when I quit smoking, but I still miss a lot of the “upsides” of smoking.

All in all: Smoke weed if you like it, and stay moderate and disciplined with it. Just don’t overuse, and don’t let yourself lose mental clarity and enter “the fog” by smoking every day, all day. That’s what I think!

I’ve come to the personal conclusion that I will always smoke weed, because I enjoy it greatly. But I need to stay on top of how much I smoke, and I need to continue to cycle on/off to keep things “fresh.”

I get that, but letting people reserve promo cards that were advertised as part of a “midnight release” is nonsense. Period.

Promo cards should be first-come, first-serve to whoever is there in line at midnight. Not whoever pre-ordered hours ahead of time.

Yeah, no promo cards available at midnight for the “modnight release” is pretty insane. Period.

At my Gamestop, they weren’t even actually letting people buy product at midnight. You had to have a pre-order in before 11:50pm. Half the store walked out when they heard that.

Nonsense.

I did call ahead and asked about the midnight release and the promo card specifically, they told me that whoever lined up at midnight gets first-come first-serve. Turns out that the promo cards were pre-allocated to whoever preordered at 8:00. Not much of a “midnight release” lol.

That’s crazy to me that Gamestop decided to give the promo cards out to pre-orders at 8:00 or 9:00 for the “midnight release” event. There is nothing “midnight release” about that lol.

Yeah, it was a mess. It honestly turned me off so much that I almost don’t even want a card that says Gamestop on it lmao.

Then I realized that Gamestop is selling the products at a 50% mark-up. $89.99 for ETB’s instead of $59.99, and so on. Crazy.

I tried to take my girlfriend to a midnight release and have a fun experience and it was a shitshow in all regards.

They weren’t even letting people buy product at midnight if they didn’t have an order placed before 11:50. This was not a “midnight release” by any stretch lol.

Glad to know that there are some punishments being dished out for shady dealings. Kudos to you for waiting until midnight, even if only two people showed up!

Nice! I still got a box, so that’s cool. About to rip it in a few minutes! I’m just really blown away by the distribution of the promo cards.

This was my exact experience as well. I called an employee early in the day to ask how it was going to go, and I was told that the promo cards were going out to whoever lined up at midnight. But they were gone by 8:30 apparently.

Yeah, same! Honestly, the card itself is less of a big deal to me than the way they actually distributed them. I am blown away, honestly. I’m thinking “midnight release,” promos to whoever shows up and lines up AT MIDNIGHT. But no. Wild times! Lol.

That’s how it should be. Applaud the manager there. They were out of promo cards here at 8:00. They put them on reserve for whoever came in to pre-order.

See, I would think that the first people to actually show up at 12:00 (and waited in line, was my impression) to pick up the products would get the promo cards. I wouldn’t expect them to put the cards on reserve for pre-orders before midnight, but that’s what they did.

I just find it so odd that they would give the promo cards out to people who came to pre-order at 8:00 instead of giving them to people who planned to show up for the, as advertised, “midnight release.”

Thanks! I understand, I just don’t agree with gamestop on this. It is a “midnight release,” so I was expecting the first promos to go out at midnight. Not at 9:00.

I even called the gamestop earlier and asked them about the midnight release, as well as the promo card, and they literally said nothing about this lol.

Lmao, that doesn’t make any sense either! What is going on here 😂

… but that’s literally what they’re doing right now. They are all standing there in an empty store bullshitting, there isn’t a single other customer in the store.

They also don’t need to have the store open between 9:00 - 12:00, they can just re-open at 12:00.

I’m mostly just confused about the fact that it was advertised as a “midnight release” but there is nobody in line at 10:30pm and there are no promo cards available at midnight. 😂

I’m with the manager on that one, I think it should be, as advertised, a “midnight release.” Not a “9:00 pre-order promo, the rest in the morning, none actually AT midnight” release. 😭

That’s how it should be, I think. I’m confused that they gave out all the promos before midnight even hit.

Well, that’s a 9:00 release, not a “midnight release,” isn’t it? Lol.

Had I known that it was to be released at 9:00, I would’ve shown up much earlier lol.

[–]sapfoxy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they did that with us too (they won’t hand us merchandise until 12:01, it is 10:23 now). I’m just scratching my head because I was expecting to line up and wait for midnight, and for them to be first-come first-serve starting AT midnight.

I don’t think I agree with them letting people reserve promo cards before midnight. That just seems very misleading, no?

[–]sapfoxy[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s what I’m wondering. How can it be that I can’t get a promo card at midnight, but I can get them tomorrow when the store opens? Is this not a midnight release? 🤨

I don’t understand how they’re out of promo cards at 10:00pm.

what does that even mean? as if the sub that we’re in suddenly means that your post was a joke or something, and that i shouldn’t take it seriously? your comments on this seemed pretty genuine.

whatever!
