How many people on this forum smoke weed?

[_natas_]

I do sometimes, though it makes me anxious as fuck, the reason why I don't do it that often.

You mean, like, dandelions?

Not a nice thing to ask in the public section of the forum.  But I can report that one of my best friends grows and smokes it.

'sup with all the questions man? You a nark or something?

Honestly though. Never tried it. Most of my friends in high-school used to smoke it, grow it, sometimes deal it (smallscale). It became a running joke that they'd get me to partake, someday.

It was one of the few rules my parents asked of my siblings and me. They allowed us to go out 'till how late we saw fit. They didn't impose many strict barriers, instead opting to trust us to make the right calls. As such I had much more freedom than many of my friends. But they did prohibit illegal drugs. And I decided to respect that. Haven't really regretted it. I've already picked a poison in alcohol. And I am not great in moderation for new things. Honestly believe that if I started smoking it in the later half of high-school, I would've done much poorer in school. Wouldn't be where I am now.
I'm not a particularly smart man. I need all my wits and my drive to get anything done. And I have seen how over-dependence on pot has worsened some of those friends lives.

İ used to smoke full time as long as i am not asleep. İt made psycosis from which i suffered 2 years. İn the meantime i went on smoking and my condition worsened. İ fucking love the high weed makes, More than alcoholic intoxication. But it is making me mentally ill, ffs.

Having tried it I can say it did nothing for me.

I have smoked grass and it works.  But I hate the smoking of anything.  But eating it is another matter.  Magic brownies are, indeed, magic.  I have restless leg and a magic brownie at night seems to work better than anything else.  Edibles are the way to go!

All day, daily, when I have it available. Normally take about 3-4 hits from a pen to start the day, then a couple a hits an hour to keep it going. At the end of the night another 3-5 quick hits or more to help my sleep.

I have frankly crippling anxiety and can barely function without it (it was like that long before I ever started smoking, and when I take breaks it doesn't change so I don't think it makes it any worse). Likewise if I don't smoke I normally get at best two hours of nightmare-filled sleep a night (which is why I'm posting this at 4 in the morning and will probably be back up by 8 in the morning).

Been about 5 months since that's happened though. My friend moved to Seattle which has left me (not-so)high-and-dry. My wallet thanks me, but I've put on about 40 pounds in that time and haven't slept a good nights sleep in any memorable time. I frankly rather be broke and stoned than saving money and watching my body/mind fall apart.

I've smoked weed off and on all my adult life, almost fifty years. I don't even get high on it any more, but I smoke it because it helps me breathe easier (counterintuitive, I know). I've noticed over the years that during periods when I smoke it every day I don't dream at night, or at least have no memory of having dreampt.

I'm so glad that I don't have to sneak around and be all paranoid to use it any more.
