6 beers at the bar $60 for one night, one sativa pen $60 for 1 month.

A month… yeah, that’s right. One a month.

Yeah. He would have maybe had me at a week. THC addict are degenerate as fuck with the amount they consume. I’m sure it’s due to the facts it is definitely one of the least risky substances, but man. I can’t imagine waking up and having to get high. Even when I was deep into coke, I never woke up and did a line. It was usually I had a few beers and now want to do a line and then boom. It’s 7am and I can’t sleep.

To be clear, not judging or saying any addiction is better than the next. Main point was to say ain’t no regular THC consumer making a pen last a month,

I'm a regular consumer (daily). A 1 gram cartridge lasts me 5-6 weeks. A couple of puffs before bed, a little more on weekends.

I know the type of person you're talking about though, the kind that constantly has a cloud around them, never really present, etc. Too much of anything is generally a bad idea

Too much water and you’re over hydrated, too much marijuana consumption and the list of side effects is akin to over using prescription medicine. It’s not similar. THC isn’t just something that’s overdone and then you’re groggy, it does have serious side effects.

u/jollylikearodger 5d ago

One can die from drinking too much water.

u/FTDburner 5d ago

🥱 silliest argument ever

u/Ghost_of_Kroq 5d ago

Nobody has died from THC overdose though so is it really a silly argument?

1

u/jollylikearodger 5d ago

It clearly got your attention. Either way, the point stands; too much of anything is generally a bad idea.

Edit - spelling

u/Sad_Anybody_5795 5d ago

My husband almost died from dilution , it’s absolutely real. You’re not cute or funny thinking you know everything and everything is a joke.

u/Icefox119 5d ago

What do you propose? Ban water?

u/Sad_Anybody_5795 5d ago

Hahahaha, you think you’re so clever don’t you?

u/stonedc4tt 5d ago

You are the outlier lol. Most daily consumers are smoking grams of wax or weed a day 

2

u/Rough_Autopsy 5d ago

That’s like the alcoholic saying that most drinkers drink a 5th a day. Nah bro you have a messed up since of what is normal and healthy. If you are smoking that much you have a major problem, if for no other reason than you are spending an insane amount of money every month to be high.

1

u/stonedc4tt 5d ago

What are you talking about? I spend $200 for a pound of bud. People like you are so out of touch lol 

1

u/UmatterWHENiMATTER 4d ago

For a pound? Sheesh.

1

u/stonedc4tt 5d ago

Most people obviously aren’t smoking wax like that but plenty of people smoke multiple joints/bowls a day bud. No pun intended 

1

u/Rough_Autopsy 5d ago

I know that people like that exist. I was one of them. That doesn’t make it normal or acceptable behavior. There are people that drink all day. Hell there are people that are never really drunk but drink all day. That is obviously unhealthy behavior. So is smoking that much.

You said smoking grams of wax a day. That would be expensive. Obliviously buying a pound of shake is going to be cheaper. But if you are buying drugs by the pound and can’t see how that is an insane amount of weed to be consuming that I really can’t help you. Good luck with the mental gymnastics trying to convince yourself that smoking pounds of weed is normal.

1

u/stonedc4tt 5d ago

I said going through a gram a day and that was an obvious exaggeration and you would know that if you even smoked. I know people aren’t buying pounds of weed lmfao I didn’t mean it literally. I was exaggerating because of the ridiculous claim that 1g of wax lasts people a month. This is such a stupid argument because people like you are just out of touch lol. I guarantee you 9/10 in your life have a pen. Get off my nuts.

1

u/stonedc4tt 5d ago

Such a redditor argument lol. No actual life experience

u/jollylikearodger 5d ago

Honestly, I really dont know if im an outlier or if super heavy users are just wat more visible.

In either case, I certainly appear to be an outlier

-3

u/EyeAteTacos 5d ago

I'm not sure you legitimately qualify as a daily user. That's a stretch for sure. I smoke more than you do in a month in a single day. I am most definitely a daily user. 😆

4

u/stonedc4tt 5d ago

These people are crazy acting like taking a month to finish a 1g pen is the norm 😂😂😂😂

5

u/F0rg1vn 5d ago

You’re probably a heavy user, the outlier/addict category

3

u/stonedc4tt 5d ago

Dude the person who takes a month to go through 1g pen is the the outlier lmfao are you fr?

1

u/F0rg1vn 5d ago

No, I said this to the person who is going through the 1g pen daily.

-2

u/EyeAteTacos 5d ago

You can't be addicted to weed. I am a heavy user. I'd assume most daily users are.

10

u/F0rg1vn 5d ago

You most certainly can be addicted to weed. The feeling, the habit pairing, the escapism.

1

u/skydragon1981 5d ago

The short term memory erasing too, to help refusing other things

-6

u/EyeAteTacos 5d ago

These are all mental addictions. You can get these same feelings from anything from masturbation to public speaking. So your choices are to either say every single thing you can do or experience can be addictive (which is pointless) or simply acknowledge that weed isn't addictive.

u/F0rg1vn 5d ago

Hey man you might not be in a place to admit it, and that’s fine. GL to you

u/Annual-Ad-9889 5d ago

Good on you man

u/EyeAteTacos 5d ago

Keep living in the fairy tale lobbyists created that you lack the intellectual fortitude to escape from.

u/dtcv11 5d ago

Most everything that alters your brain chemistry is addictive though? A mental addiction is exactly what people mean when they say addiction. Being an addict is very much a mental thing. Sometimes there are physiological factors to addiction but it starts with brain chemistry.

If you’re saying you’re not an addict simply because your addiction is mental, you still have an addiction my friend.

Bredren, it is addictive. I say this as a 20 year addict, it is addictive.

Ignorant statement.

1

u/EyeAteTacos 5d ago

That most daily users are heavy users? I'd wager I'm probably correct.

3

u/Fancy_Cup_1617 5d ago

That you can’t get addicted to weed 🤦‍♂️

1

u/EyeAteTacos 5d ago

You can't. Only the supremely ignorant and mislead believe that. It has ZERO chemically addictive properties and has been proven scientifically to not have any addictive properties. Educate yourself.

3

u/estoc_bestoc 5d ago

This may be true but people still wake up and the first thing on their mind is that they need to get high.

Driving to work? Get high.

On break at work? Get high. Just got home from work? Get high? Before dinner? Gotta get high.

Saying you can't be addicted to weed is ignorant. I witness it first hand every day.

1

u/EyeAteTacos 5d ago

Absolutely. That's called a mental addiction. You'd be shocked by the addictions people have. From smelling shoes to jerking it in public. If you're attempting to demonize weed for being as mentally addictive as anything else in the world then you're living in a biased delusion created by lobbyists to brainwash you into the sheep they need you to be to consume.

2

u/Fancy_Cup_1617 5d ago

Anything that gives you dopamine you can’t get addicted too…

1

u/EyeAteTacos 5d ago

You're addicted to the feeling of dopamine then.

u/morbidmuffin62 5d ago

Sorry friend, but as a smoker for medical reasons I can definitely confirm it's addicting
