They got crack weed these days
I've been smoking pot for like 15 years and the weed they have these days isn't even real fucking weed anymore. This shit is ridiculous. 33% THC. 35% THC. Holy fuck where do they even fit the plant matter? They're just gonna sell you THC crystals to smoke soon enough. Meanwhile, 0% CBD (the main mind-soothing, antipsychotic, nonpsychoactive canabinoid as far as we know) on most of it. This weed and the weed they had 30 or even 10 years ago are not the same thing at all. The weed I grew up smoking had probably 15% THC tops and it probably had at least some CBD and who knows what other canabinoids. The weed they got today is basically just fiber and THC. It's not a whole lot different than processing cocoa leaves to make blow or opium poppys to make heroin. At this point, the whole 'I'm just smoking a plant like gaya mother earth whatthefuckever intended' no longer stands. Not like it was any good to begin with.
Everyone's running around anxious and neurotic getting medical cards to self-sooth because society forgot how to develop coping mechanisms not seeing any connection between how they're feeling and their bombarding of their organism with molecules that, yes, it does have receptors for all over. That's exactly why it's a problem. This stuff is one of the only fat-soluble drugs we take. It can linger for months attached to receptors in your brain, CNS, GI tract, lungs, liver, everything. Do you know the impact it has everywhere. No. Nobody does.
It will definitely not kill you. I have tried. It will not. I've been smoking about a quarter pound a month of the strongest weed I can find in Chicago for like 8 months and I'm fine. Definitely not optimal or anywhere close. But my family is fed, my bills are paid, and the deadlifts are being deadlifted. It's a very mopey existence though. I only came to terms with this and decided I'm quitting like a month ago. I just got off a 3-week sobriety stretch. I lift and sauna almost daily, eat clean, walk, all that shit. I was still pissing dirty and heavily so. And every time I burn fat for fuel, which is every fucking day, some of that THC gets metabolized and dispersed throughout me.
Fucking Tommy Chong and Snoop Dogg glorifying weed and being high all day. Yeah maybe it works out if you're a low-T 65-year-old millionaire. Bunch of dumb kids running around with their 420 yoloblazeit shit. I bet you not one of those motherfuckers actually smokes all day. I actually smoke all day. I can afford to and they can't because they're 16 and I'm not and the internet is run by children. I smoke 1-2 bong bowls immediately upon waking up - before drinking water even. Because I'm mildly nauseous any time I'm sober and that goes for water too. I smoke joints while I drive. I have to be high to sleep. I have to be high to eat. I have zero appetite even high though. I'm probably only downing like 1500 calories of actual food right now. If it weren't for this Fairlife whole milk, I'd be a skinny bitch like every other permastoner by now. I cough up shit that looks like black/green mold constantly. I know they say you can't get cancer smoking weed, but I don't wanna be the first guy. My mood is fucking garbage if I'm not at least mildly high. I can't handle normal day-to-day stresses sober - even minor ones. I'm addicted as fuck to pot. And I'm addicted as fuck to caffeine too because you have to be if you're gonna be high all day and still be productive. So I need to quit both those things.
'Oh, Goldie's probably just a bitchass. You can't get addicted to pot. My buddy Brad who has a lot of experience with addiction told me.' Well Brad is wrong. I've been in the addiction game since a young age. I've been addicted to and successfully quit alcohol, benzos, cigarettes, and heroin. And video games as a kid if you wanna count that. But I can not shake pot. It is so insidious. I can get it delivered to my mailbox. And I can realistically keep living like this for years and years and nothing acutely bad will happen. I'll just be duller, dumber, less knowledgeable, less creative, less passionate, a worse dad, a worse husband, a worse athlete, a worse businessman - but still good enough to get by. I'm not comfortable just getting by though.
Should have just listened in DARE class way back when!
Oh - and the cherry on top? I don't even fucking get high really. I haven't been high high in foreeverrrrr. I blended an ounce of 33% THC weed with 3 grams of the strongest wax I could find. Like in a blender. This isn't even a thing people do. It's not even a concept because it's so wasteful. I didn't care. I smoke that and I still can not catch a proper high.
came from your biography post. can you talk a little about your xp with shrooms? im down to 1-2x a week for weed since it kinda sucks if you are realizing youre not even high. shrooms maybe 5x in my life. but those experiences were amazing and im curious to hear what you have to say
Shrooms are great. Just do them in a controlled setting. I think alone is best. People will say you need a sitter. I don't think so and they can give you mad anxiety. I've done shrooms a lot of times and in real high doses and I never thought about jumping out any tall shit. But whatever you do you. For sure have chill music on hand. You can also get spores legally online and grow them yourself pretty cheap and easy if you don't have a plug. That's pretty much it. Have a nice time. Oh and don't do them more often than like every 6 months. Idk if it's tolerance or what, but that magical essence shit whatever you wanna call it gets diminished big time and for a long time with each use. Like I could eat a quarter today and have a chill evening but like barely be tripping because my tolerance has been kinda perma high. Also don't be afraid to eat more than an eighth. My best trips were on quarters and one on 10g. If I were to start over, I'd eat an eighth every 6 months or so for like 2 years and then try 5g, then 6g 6 months later, then 7g. People say they get to a point where they feel they've 'learned everything psychedelics have to teach them.' Idk I've tripped like over 200 times and I'm still into that shit. It's mad fun breh
Weed is a crutch, no different than alcohol. You got to do the 100 day weed challenge if you want to quit. Buy a calendar, mark the days you can go without smoking up and keep it visible. Only you can do this.
THC is medicine
So is opium
Right there with you
I think the idea is that cannabis doesn’t have any carcinogens in it, but when lit on fire it’s a totally different story. I’ve read that the smoke from a joint/bowl/etc has carcinogens.
I'm pretty sure that if you smoked lettuce and kale, it wouldn't be good for you. Is there any smoke on the planet that is actually good for the human body to inhale? Come on folks....a little common sense here.

Reads like the beginning of a novel. Great post, and I fully agree with you. Never gotten hooked myself but my brother fell completely down this path and I see it every day at my university. Whole lot of people that don't even get high anymore, but still spend their entire days on this shit just to dull the edges on their entire lives' experiences.
Holy shit it’s like you got inside my head when you wrote this. Same age, same amount of time smoking and I can’t kick the habit. Live resin pens make it so easy to intake tons of THC all day everyday, even while going into the office. I have always been a high functioning stoner but I also acknowledge it fucking slows me down as much as I love it.
Let me know if you figure anything out because, as you stated, weed addiction is real. The only thing that has stopped me in the past is legitimate fear - I’ve only been able to quit when on probation or when seriously job hunting (always been sketched out by trying to use a friends clean pee or synthetic from the head shop).
Lots of good points here. I understand that the legalization movement had to normalize pot by going through the medical route. But at this point, we're misleading people. Weed is a drug. It gets you fucked up. It's not a medicine for the majority of things. Have anxiety and think weed will alleviate it? Sure will.....couple of beers does the trick too, yet no one would call alcohol "medicine".
Only a moron thinks weed is completely harmless. That's where personal responsibility comes in, you need to control your consumption. You can easily get addicted to alcohol or mcdonalds and many other things that are legal, but its up to you to have self control.
Most people consume it mildly and can have functional lives, it needs to be legal.
Be safe
