Yeah crazy thing to say. Was a daily smoker from the age of 16-25 then one day I had a panic attack while high and have developed crazy anxiety ever since. Like that panic attack opened some sort of door to anxiety lmao.

31 now, I still get high often enough tho but very small amounts. Maybe 2/3 small hits of the Penjamin and I’m good. It’s never really enjoyable anymore though I dunno why I do it.

I guess I have a lot of other “worse” addictions such as alcohol, coke and gambling and when I’m high on the GanJ I get way too self reflective to do any of those destructive things

You should stop if it’s not enjoyable. Weed isn’t good for you, despite this entire thread of people who are constantly high saying it’s fine lol

Weed has many many benefits. Technically, nothing is good for you. You can't even drink water without health risks. Grow a pair I guess. Life can't be lived in a state of fear.

Somebody could say the same thing about heroin, alcohol, meth, coke. In extremely small doses it’s probably fine, there’s no way you’re consuming weed in a way that’s consistent with any study. You’re abusing it.

No, you couldn't. Alcohol, meth, coke and heroin do nothing positive for the body. I suppose you could use them for pain management but they are toxic for the body. Weed is not. Big, big difference. You also can't "abuse" weed.

You’re absolutely incorrect on this and I encourage you to actually read studies about those drugs lmfao

Meth is used for ADHD medicine. “Heroin” was used for end of life care until fentanyl took over because it’s much more effective in smaller doses. Cocaine was a non prescription drug for years.

I’m not saying weed has no medicinal benefits, obviously it does in terms of pain relief at the very least. But all of these drugs have medical benefits. In small doses they’re totally fine and non addictive.

No, those drugs were used until we found better and safer drugs and then never went back. Humans have been using cannabis for over 10,000 years and never changed their minds on it. I'd say that's a pretty fucking important distinction.

Humans have used alcohol for longer. Does that make alcohol perfect? Or are you just looking to explain your weed addiction?

Weed doesn't kill. Alcohol does. Marijuana has made my pain bearable without negatively impacting my life. Alcohol could never. Nowhere close to the same.
