They relied on caffeine to get through the day. But then days felt impossible without it.
POV: you have undiagnosed ADHD
Or diagnosed, and you need it to counteract the soporific effects of adderall that you get because “stimulants make you sleepy and alert at the same time” is a possible effect of ADHD.
Oof, too real.
Do not let water take a hold of you, for you will feel it’s absence
Ah I see we’re still on that “the cannabis today is 100x bajillion times stronger than it was decades ago” bit so people don’t feel like massive hypocrites for supporting criminalization despite smoking weed in college.
The weed is too strong. The porn is too hot. The food is too sugary. And the games are too big.
And no I’m not joking.
unironically is this not true? because i saw pictures of the kind of stuff jimi hendrix was smoking and it looked like it came out of the sea
Jimmy hendrix notoriously smoked litteral algaes iirc
i cant find anything about this but it’s cool as hell if true
I’m sure with the industry now being more above-board there’s better quality control these days. But that’s more like, you’re not going to get a baggie that’s 70% sticks, not “drug dealers have genetically engineered uber-THC.”
so where do terpenes fit into the equation because i thought casual weed smokers started talking about whatever the hell those are not that long ago
I use weed daily, not because I can’t stop (I have no problem taking a t-break or having to take a day off because of circumstances) but because why the fuck not, because it helps my brain transition out of daily grind and stress and into mindless TV or video game playing.
I wish I didn’t have such guilt when I use it regularly. It’s the only thing that allows me to focus on something and actually enjoy it, my adhd meds help me focus but they make me feel really scatterbrained and like I’m tweaking lol.
I also worry it makes my depression and lack of motivation worse but idk. I just really enjoy it so its hard to stop. Sorry to randomly rant under your comment lol, just came to mind
I worry about those things to. The guilt comes and goes, but I just try to focus on if weed is actually causing me problems. Sometimes I am using weed to avoid stuff I really need to do but often it is just an easy way to cope right now
Alternative title: life has gotten so horrible and the horrors so apparent that it feels impossible to go through the day without something to ease the dread.
Didn’t Mark Fisher write about this like 20 years ago?
Marx wrote about this over 100 years ago
oh yeah how about fuck you AP. 420 blaze it
cannabis is the opium of the people
You ever suck
dicktoes for weed??It really sucks reading articles like these and holding the belief that addiction is serious and anyone can become addicted to anything. Cause like come on man, does it.make your brain try to break out of your skull prison like mine when I get no nicotine? Idk. Strange world. Absolutely abstract.

Not typically but I have had some rough nights tbh
It sucks cuz it helps me focus and enjoy things but I worry it makes my depression worse long term. Tiring.
I am legitimately having some trouble breaking the habit of smoking every day.
IDK if it’s because I’ve formed a dependency or because I feel incredibly stuck in life and it’s good escapism.
Either way it’s probably a good idea to stop for a little bit and then see how I’m feeling later.
I read this earlier today and it’s just obscenely absurd. Not that one can’t develop an abusive relationship with weed but it’s so annoying to see it regularly used to stigmatize users. Preaching to the congregation here but an article about a topic like this with no sort of material analysis is so unserious
Any addiction should be treated the same way:
Decriminalization, destigmatization and plenty of help for quitting.
Also a redefinition of addiction would be in order, as we don’t treat some things like a proper and possibly harmful addiction, while other more harmless things are treated in a hostile manner.
It’s almost as if there’s a state sanctioned, profitable for companies consumption and a less profitable for companies, criminalized consumption and the problems are systemic…
Maaan nothing beats smoking a j while playing the guitar, or painting, or cooking, or watching clouds, or watching a movie, or talking to friends, or playing games, or…
What were we talking about? I’m high sorry.
A baby boomer who survived decades in kitchens can’t focus so well to learn to read music. Can’t think of any other reasons why a 75 year old would have cognitive issues other than pot. Switch to a dry herb vape instead of cartridges, and just be proud that you’re still kicking my dude.
You will have nothing and be happy with it.
I have a house, wouldn’t mind some weed I could smoke in there but its illegal in my country
As someone who was legit addicted to hash/weed for over a decade, and experienced very real withdrawal symptoms for the best part of a month after quitting, I’m genuinely surprised by some of the responses to this post.
There are studies that show that (iirc, I got the number from the drug councelor I went to but it’s been like 15 years) ~8% of users do actually get addicted to this stuff, regardless of what the agenda of the posted article may be it’s a real thing that does happen to real people.
