Several months back, when I told my sister that one of the reasons I’m planning on moving out of South Carolina is because where I’m moving to (Puerto Rico) has a medical weed program that I’m eligible for since I have Autism and ADHD, she told me that medical weed was laced with fentanyl.
Many years ago at a wedding reception someone brought a plate of magic brownies. They were clearly marked, everyone knew what they were.
An elderly relative who had never smoked in her life got into them. Before she started she was warned what they were. Nobody wanted to be the person who fed straight-laced grandma the weed, right?
She said, “It’s okay, I don’t do drugs so they won’t affect me.”
I don’t know what she thought doing drugs looked like, but boy howdy did she learn
what lmao. she lost me at step 1
apparently grandma thought drugs needed consent to work. Somehow.
It’s natural therefore it has no negative effects.

nicotine is the hardest drug to quit.
Wild. I’ve quit smoking multiple times, and thought the first week or so was unpleasant each time, but not awful. Each time I started up again it was because my ex-spouse started smoking again and was pushing cigarettes on me. Since the divorce a decade ago, I haven’t had a cigarette. And that was after about fifteen years of smoking around a pack and a half a day.
I know that quitting drinking all at once can straight up kill you, if you’re a hardcore alcoholic; I’ve known a few people that had the shakes every time they were sober.
Some people quit really easy, while others will go mad at the thought of it.
My grandpa used to smoke, and one day just put down his last cigarette and never touched it again. Meanwhile, my grandma probably tried to quit 20 times, but the withdrawal was so bad she was never able to quit.
Oof what? You must never have smoked a lot despitewhat you say. Because ive tried to quit a few times and ive only been smoking for 8 years, but every time after about a week i start coughing almost constantly. And the only thing to ease it wad smoking again.

I’m pretty sure I know what I smoked.
I quit because I started coughing up dark brown shit every morning; I always had some kind of congestion in my throat. I decided that I didn’t want to do that anymore, so I stopped.
Everyone is different, maybe they got lucky. I quit about 15 years ago, and I still have cravings and I’m often smoking in my dreams. Nicotine is the worst.
Cigarettes, cigars, and pipes still smell wonderful to me, and if was free and wasn’t going to kill me, I’d absolutely start again. But I haven’t had any real cravings or dreams about smoking since about four months after I quit.
I got soooo lucky. I smoked a bunch for a bit less than a year. One day, I had my morning cigarette and it felt AWFUL. No pleasure, just debilitation. I tried again the next day, same thing. Since then, I’ve smoked a few times and it’s always a mistake. My brain just stopped liking them.
Unfortunately it did the same thing with caffeine. I really miss coffee.
Weed, too. I miss getting high without feeling like I’m going to die.
I quit could turkey twice. It was easy. I just focused on how much i hated the taste and smell.
The only reason i started up again the second time is because when you work as a server, you get a smoke break constantly but nonsmoker’s don’t, and i got sick of covering three sections every hour.
It was easy? Thats why you had to quit twice.
I think the fact that you’ve quit a bunch of times kind of shows how hard it is to quit
Per my original comment - that was because each time my spouse started smoking again, and was pushing cigarettes on me. If I hadn’t been married to them, then I would have stayed quit the very first time I stopped. Each time we quit smoking, they would secretly start smoking again almost immediately, and would then start pushing me to re-start after a couple of months. Once the divorce was in progress and we had limited contact, it was fairly straightforward.
It would probably be super hard to quit heroin if you were married to your dealer.

Benzo withdrawal will kill you, but goddamn is it hard to kill yourself with benzodiazepines… You’d think that something with a deadly withdrawal would also be easy to OD on, but no.
A light mauling from a black bear is also better for you than alcohol.
hyperbole when discussing medical shit does no good for anyone, and if you’re confident in this opinion maybe ask a doctor or get mauled by a bear yourself.

It’s natural
So is castor seeds.
I was taught by a police officer in grade 4 that if you try weed, even just once, you will never be happy again. If you score a goal in soccer, you won’t feel good about it. If you do well on a test, you won’t be happy. They straight up told us that weed floods your happiness receptors and burns them all out, leaving you to never feel happy again.
Jokes on him. That happened to me LONG before I started smoking weed.
😆😟😆😟
Some ignorant pastor was raising a fuss about how weed has gotten so much stronger (and thus more dangerous) over the years. Which may be true, to an extent, but his evidence was that pot in the 70s had at most 20% THC, but today’s vapes are close to 90% THC.
Vapes are concentrated. 1g of vape can last for weeks, while 1g of flower is a good start to the afternoon.
“You can’t be allergic to weed, it’s literally medicine.”
“It doesn’t affect me.” - said by an actual adult human.
First times are weird. Had a 25mg gummy and felt literally nothing, hours went by and nothing happened. Till a few days later I had a 25mg + a half of another one and yeah let’s just say it worked that time.
Edibles are just inconsistent. Even the ones you get from the dispensary. There’s no way they are guaranteeing that every individual piece of a batch has x amount of THC. That’s why you get one that tastes like a fruit snack and the next one is like chewing on a bud. Couple that with unpredictable digestion and edibles are almost always a gamble.
Is my tolerance supernaturally low or something? A 5mg gummy is plenty, and 10mg is physically uncomfortable. Not complaining of course, low tolerance saves a lot of money.
When I started smoking hash (30+ years ago) I thought it wasn’t very good… I think though that I quickly became too high to know I was high. Does that make sense? It was only after a week or two I realised how pickled I was getting.
I hope you enjoyed your second gummy experience…
This happened to me too. Smoked once in high school and decided it was a waste of money and didn’t again for a long while. Took a gummy after it was made legal on a lark and was all “oh, I get it.”
I’ve heard a ton of dumb things about growing it. Everything from Epsom salts to birth control pills and classical music.
Turns out it actually grows like a weed as long as it gets plenty of sunlight, good quality soil, water, and fertilizer. The only real gotcha is that you need to identify and remove male plants before they release a bunch of pollen.
That tribes in Africa smoke it before a battle because it causes psychosis. My dad used to smoke weed, so you’d think his own experience would have had him think twice about that one. But no, he’s just a fucking idiot.
Alternatively, your dad is always ready for battle.
My friend and her friend were in a lobby online. We were playing a game and waiting for others to log on. While we waited i said i was gonna mute them to smoke a bowl, and my friend’s friend started going off on how awful weed is, like how it’ll kill you if it doesn’t make you go blind first. I laughed and asked how old they were?
“14.”
“And, have you ever tried weed?”
“FUCK NO! GROSS!”
And i say “cool. I don’t take sex advice from virgins.”
After the screeching subsided, that kid decided he had other, more important things to do that day, and logged off. I finished my bowl. The world continued.
This story makes you both look like absolute morons.
And then everyone clapped. Their name? Alberts Einstein.
Using a grinder gets rid of all the keif.
That it is or could be a menace
PR’s medical program is kinda shit. Good products but weird rules…
But to answer your question, the gateway drug thing… or all those movies with reefer madness
At least it’s there unlike in South Carolina, also I feel like they’re going to legalize recreational before South Carolina does anyway (Virgin islands nextdoor already did). Also still better than FL’s program
Court mandated drug counselor told us it makes men grow tits.
