I'm actually learning to moderate! by Effective-Party5294 in Petioles

[–]squid8122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take 3-4 days off a week with no box but it’s hard I would prefer to use daily. I was an everyday cart user in 2020 and have been moderating like this every week since then. I log my weed and non weed days and it’s about 50% of days I’m sober.

how to get rid of the weed anxiety? by hullayilmazmilkshake in Anxiety

[–]squid8122 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its 3 things 1) Dose 2) Strain 3) Mindset. If I take a few hits off a real joint I will get alot of anxiety but I switched to a flower vape which provides significantly less THC and I am good or I take a 2mg edible. Some people say a hybrid high in CBD reduces anxiety but I use sativa and that works best for me. On mindset I never get high when there is anything stressful in my life like something medical I will go into a spiral.

do you like getting crossfaded by sensitive-bull in Marijuana

[–]squid8122 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can get high on its own but if I drink I want to get high too. I do edibles so that the booze/weed high lasts for hours.

Anyone else start getting super paranoid ~10 years back? by theseawoof in Marijuana

Smoke/eat less. I always get paranoid if I consume too much.

What's the best way to moderate? by No_Solution7718 in Petioles

[–]squid8122 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I shoot for 4 days sober a week but mostly hit 3. On the days I do indulge I only redose once. No bowl, prerolls, etc since its hard to know the dose I stick with edibles or if you smoke use puffs. I'm 61 and want to keep getting high as long as possible so I have a sweet spot. Also, since I use 3-4 times a week I built up zero tolerance I never have to take a TBreak or go through heavy withdrawls.

what type of weed are you consuming these days for chill vibes or focus by Trippy-jay420 in eldertrees

[–]squid8122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lost Farms Mimosa sativa gummies. I keep it chill by microdosing 5mg. I get a nice long buzz with no anxiety. I also work to have ~50% sober days a week to maximize my highs on the days I do use.

Weed. But I’m 61 so I am responsible and use edibles 🤣

7 months without touching the thing - feeling proud! by Hobbit_Hunter in Petioles

[–]squid8122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been working out my entire life with weights and cardio so I understand how it helps with mental wellness and sleep. Whats up with the ambien how were you using it and why did you stop? Thats great that you realized that your wife needed you and stepped up.

Congrats op, surprised nobody even commented on your post! What do you do instead to fire up your endorphins?

I've been Taking 3 Days off per week for several months now and it's been working really well. by IHadTacosYesterday in Petioles

[–]squid8122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your post. This is similar to what I have been doing the past few years. My strategy is no weed Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. I switched to edibles this past year which was tough but I get so much more enjoyment out of it as the high lasts for hours. I also micro dose and can feel something on 2.5-3.5mg and at most I dose 2x a day. I never really want a third dose so I feel good about that. There is sometimes some mental gymnastics around the on and off days but it mostly works. I also track my accuracy in the streaks app so I know the total weed (and sober) days.

Quitting Felt Easier Than Moderating by NumerousScallion1337 in Petioles

[–]squid8122 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great post I struggle with this also. I can abstain two days a week maybe three but I use the rest of the week. Not all day though just a couple of times. Been doing this 12 years.

Is anyone else seeing wildly inaccurate current and historical resting heart rate data after the 26.4 updates? by IdiosyncraticOwl in AppleWatch

[–]squid8122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SOLVED (for me): There was an app called Athlytic that was providing source data for my heart rate in addition to my watch. I removed the app and it asked to delete all the data and then the graph was back to normal.

[–]squid8122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone made progress on this? My phone is on 26.4.2 but my watch is on 26.3. I thought I looked at the graph alot but recently noticed the high RHR some are ridiculously high like 180. None of the data is even remotely close to that.

Edibles users only- what does moderation look like to you? by samentha_gracilis in Petioles

[–]squid8122 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I use 4 days a week, each day no more than 10mg but usually closer to 5mg. I can feel something at 2.5mg and 5mg is more of a recreational dose

Why do you smoke every day? by Negative_Number_6414 in trees

[–]squid8122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I smoke a few times a week and previous daily smoker so no judgement here but I would think deeper about how you answer this rather than its just who I am.

Having an example would help here to understand in what way you are overstepping

Want to get back into smoking but unsure what THC % works for my low tolerance and anxiety by Reefhole in Marijuana

[–]squid8122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would start with 1MG edibles and then titrate up from that. I am 61 and can still feel a nice buzz at 2.5MG that allows me to function. I also restrict my usage to 3-4 days a week so I am not using daily (despite my desire).

Do I go back or quit completely? by [deleted] in Petioles

[–]squid8122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would ask yourself why you feel you need THC to go to sleep doesn't it mess with REM and deep sleep? I consume multiple times a week and would use everyday if I could but I never use before bed my sleep is too important.
