The idea that losers abuse substances is the one of the dumbest correlation/causation mistakes. Almost as stupid as “black people are more likely to be criminal”.
I don't know about that one

True, being absolutely zooted at 4 pm on a Wednesday is for winners!

Judging other people for being zooted at 4 pm on a Wednesday even moreso!

It’s the winners that can afford the good, top shelf weed ;)

Moralizing to drug addicts helps no one. All it does is make you feel better about yourself for a bit and make someone else feel worse when they’re already down and using to cope. Your attitude actually contributes to a culture that promotes unhealthy relationships with substances.

Yes. Half your board are probably ripped by 4:25 every day.

I smoked weed and went progressively harder for the last few years.I really enjoyed it a lot: my joints felt better, sleep was easier, I found more joy in movies, TV shows, music, food, and sex. Exercise was easier and I lost weight.
Starting last fall I noticed my memory was getting bad, and at times my mind woukd just shut down. So at first I cut back, then stopped it entirely. Been completely off for 3 months nkw, which should be more than enough time for all the THC to be out of my system and my canmabanoid receptors to be reset. I never used it until my 30’s so there should.be pretty much no risk of long-term issues.
Since then, I’m proud to report that those same problems just got even worse AND I’ve lost all of the benefits! Yay!

Try playing n-back games to improve your memory: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-back
Memory is a skill and can atrophy over time, but you can also improve it over time with the right practice.

There’s no scientific proof it works.

Sounds like it’s time to start using again haha
I’ve used medical marijuana for close to 20 years now for an autoimmune disease. Yeah maybe I’m a little more forgetful, but hot damn! Being able to get out of bed and function is worth it.
RepublicansAreEvil@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Yeah I am on a break too and haven’t noticed this lightning fast recall that others talked about in terms of memory. But then again I smoked a lot and never had that bad of a memory to begin with unless I was like cheech and Chong level baked

Did you get the insanely vivid dreams after quitting?
paultimate14@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
No, though I eentftom not dreaming at all (or not remembering them) to dreaming occasionally.

Sorry gents and gentiles, moderation is the only safe thing, and sometimes not even that.

Siegfried@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Have you ever saw half a police department steping on someones ass or breaking into a house because someone got a few dozens of well brewed alcoholic beverages? Alcohol is safer
Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
Not everyone lives in a country with stupid drug laws. The danger is not from weed, it’s from your dogshit government.
Siegfried@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I thought it was obvious that that was my argument
Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
That does occasionally happen in Saudi - for sure. Mostly it’s the immigrants being raided, for obvious reasons.
tomi000@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Have you seen molotov cocktails?
Siegfried@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
You mean the things that protects you from the police? I thought they were made from mixing naphta with some other liquid. Alcohol burn fast, naphta causes better effect.

When it comes to drugs, play the long game so you can enjoy them your whole life. Take breaks, switch things up. Don’t let the drugs control you.
Gonzako@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
That’s why I didnt even bother with them. I am easily addicted so I’d rather only deal with the addictions I already have

Lpt: If you make up weekly schedule based on cross tolerance and stick to it you can avoid addiction for longer.

I’ve been switching between PCP and angel dust for years. Just when I feel I’m becoming addicted to one I just switch, and I’m totally sane, maybe even THE MOST sane person. I should run for president!

Check your local NA meetings people, it helps. Don’t compare substances, everything can be harmful. I’d argue that culture around these 2 can be really toxic, glorifying use without acknowledging risks.

No worries. The rat race will too. Or at least kill the humanity you contained, and leave you a shell of a being.
