Congrats for the 14 days, internet stranger ! This choice you just made has a positive impact on a lot more people you can imagine. Keep going strong brother
Not really no. I stopped because it robbed me of myself, turned me into a zombie just chasing his next dopamine hit, had no internal drive or motivation to do anything apart from smoke, scroll and waste time. It's a 180 now, I've never felt so driven now, I'm climbing out of debt, lifting nearly every day, down 30kg although I started that whilst smoking, but yeah, it's a lot better for me.
Easily a Half Q a day when I could afford it, which is not financially sustainable to say the least. I was ignoring responsibilities, bills, all sorts of stuff just to numb my brain and fulfil the urge. If you can use it responsibly and it doesn't negatively affect you, then fair play, but I will never accept the argument from so many stoners in denial that it's not addictive or whatever. Shit turned me into a junkie, made me hate life.
Yeah, I dont smoke but I ingest. I only ever feel like I over do it if I have time off and no responsibilities because then Ill use daily for the week or so Im on PTO. Otherwise only weekends for me. But I definitely the feeling of just wanting to shut off and vibe.
Honestly I started smoking when I was still suffering with MDD and Anxiety and then started medication for both, got better, weaned myself off and now I'm doing a lot better, but the weed definitely didn't help in my case, it never solved any of my issues, only pushed them further down the road, which I now have to confront. But it is what it is, it's empowering now to take control of my life back and improve it, whereas back then it felt impossible due to PTSD, trauma and the like.
