Cannabis in IB

Back in my university days, I was dealing with GAD and stress, especially in my first semester. I would occasionally smoke cannabis and surprisingly, it actually helped with my anxiety. Sure, I had some occasionally memory recall issues a couple days after, but overall, I felt happier and more laid-back. It even seemed to make it easier to make friends afterwards, even when I wasn’t smoking.

What surprised me most was that it wasn't addictive. I could smoke for weeks, then not smoke at all for weeks. The best part? It seemed to help with my anxiety long-term. After a while, I hardly felt anxious except during exam weeks.

Nowadays, I'm curious if other people use cannabis and how it affects their work. Personally, I think it'd be nice to unwind with a bowl after dinner or before bed and watch a movie. Anyone else do this rather than taking medication? I usually work from home after 7 PM, and my workload's not too crazy most weeks so I can usually wrap up at a reasonable time

Yeah, especially the ind/hybrid ones, those really help me relax. There are a lot of newer strains now, look at leafly for the effects of the ones you’d want to buy
