Marijuana is a gateway drug

[Fame]

It's just a little weed, until its not.

It's just a little beer, until its not.

It's just a little bump, until its not.

It's just a little needle, until its not.

It's just a little domestic violence, until its not.

It's just a little armed robbery, until its not.

It's just a little state correctional facility sentence, until its not.

It's just a little federal prison sentence, until its not.

It's just a little suckin dick for protection, until its not.

Sounds pretty much like being gay with extra steps. Just be yourself.

Happy 4/20

[Trexller]

ive smoked weed for 19 years.

never sucked a dick.

shitty thread.

0 stars is too many.

you ever take a tylenol?

grats, you have consumed chemical substances to change the way you feel.

dirty druggie.

You lost me at needle so I looked up bump and the computer says coke and meth are schedule 2.

Dunno.

Currently in the middle of a battle with alcohol. I just can't moderate it. I hate it. I hate that I can't manage it. It grabs me when I'm low, it grabs me when I'm high. Makes for a hard time trying to not do too well or do too bad.

[Patriam1066]

If you’re being serious, you should find professional help as soon as possible. That is a serious addiction that destroys people and families

If you’re self aware enough to know what you said in your post, you should find a local counselor or organization that deals with detox before it becomes a rehab situation (which, by that point, your family would have to drag you to kicking and screaming)

Just my $0.02 as a person whose brother in law lost everything to opioids. I imagine alcoholism is just as bad

[Castle2.0]

Drugs = terrible. Do whatever you can, bring in whoever you can, to stop.

Praying for you. I ended my second bout with it back in June. second round with it was even worst than the first round I had 14 years ago. This time was more well hidden and more heavy. Juandiced fingers and nails, fatty liver, couldn't hide it anymore. For me it was always associated with smoking. Love to drink and smoke. When I smoke I want to drink, when I drink I want to smoke. Quitting both helped get rid of my cravings for both immensely.

Look for your association that the alcohol is always attached to and change that behavior.

everybody's battle with it is different. Wishing you the best. Regardless of the people that claim its a disease you can overcome it, it doesn't control you.

See I'm afraid that because of wild cherry Pepsi I might transition to heroin.

[Homesteaded]

I am 36 years old. At 23 I checked myself into treatment and stayed sober for 8 years. Thought I could handle it so tried to responsibly drink, that lasted for about 6 months and it got out of hand. Quit again for a while, and been on and off since then.

Currently I'm just running myself too thin, I work a full-time job, I'm a full time college student. Father of three kids under 7. Just too much shit going on, oh and we just moved in the middle of a semester. I'll get it knocked back here after this semester. I just can't take on so much and need to slow down. I've tried the therapist route and I did enjoy it but eventually I felt like the guy was just trying to explain away my poor choices and I stopped going.

[robayon]

I have also been wrestling with alcoholism for twenty years. I have kicked a lot of drug habits including narcotics and benzos, but alcohol has proved the hardest to stop. I have also been to rehab. I turned 40 last month. I also am generally skeptical of mental health services after a string of bad ones about a decade ago that ended up with me in rehab, where I met people who made my problems seem inconsequential. I can't imagine caring for kids on top of all of those things.

Praying for you, Homesteaded, seriously. It's a fickle beast. One day at a time and stuff. If you can't stop, taper down.

Ever read a book called This Naked Mind by Annie Grace? That's helped me in the past when AA didn't last

I hated it both times

I never liked cocaine and that class because it ruined two things I love. Food and sleep.

It's funny, I generally am a pretty ornery guy and I think you all probably agree. I have to say this community is great and tends to rally toward positivity when real issues are brought up.

I sincerely feel so sorry for anybody who has never had sex while high on edibles. Doing something as pleasurable as sex while in a hallucinogenic dreamstate that opens your third eye and blurs the line between reality and visions. With some practice, you can live 100% in the moment, but THC can enhance that even further to a point that it's just flat out one of the greatest experiences that exists-- for me a fucking religious experience, pun intended.

I’m almost always high on THC edibles when hooking up. Maybe not quite at the same quantity (my doseage is usually just like 5mg bites), certainly not enough to produce hallucinations, I’ve never had those with weed but obv have with shrooms. I do agree though that weed makes everything better, including for me sex, food, exercise, and other forms of recreation. I know you aren’t saying this, but I do feel that it’s important to moderate use of weed; being always high not only can build tolerance but also depreciates the high experience by making it just “what is” and not a different thing

That being said, sex on MDMA or coke for most people is going to be a more pleasurable experience than weed. This is because of the mechanism of changes to brain chemistry, MDMA or coke (or meth if someone is into that) are cranking your dopamine levels far, far higher than weed ever could, far higher than possible with any human experience

The two biggest risks with having sex on coke is 1. More minor, for men…coke, meth, and mdma can dehydrate the body significantly leading to “whiskey dick” where someone can’t get it up. The solution if this ever happens to you from alcohol or drugs is to start drinking lots of water and ideally eat some foods with it that hydrate the body such as fruit or veggies. The second risk is addiction, feeling that you need to be high in order to hook up, or feeling that sober sex no longer compares. This is enhanced by the fact that your brain’s ability to produce and retain its own dopamine will be in a slump for a while after you come off the hard drugs I mentioned

Yea I use in moderation and don't go near hard drugs, other than occasional opium. Weed especially I find just gets boring or even unpleasant when used too frequently or in too high a volume.

When I say hallucination, I mean changes in perception/sensation and altered consciousness/state of mind rather than seeing things that aren't there. The closest way to put it into words is that it's like having sex and having a sex dream both at the same time with the pleasure of each stacked on top of each other. I can close my eyes and still "see" what's happening using the input from my other senses, with the "vision" flitting between what's actually there and what's fantastically there. Fucking incredible.

MDMA sex would be tempting but I'd be too concerned about the long term damage to my ability to feel joy.

This thread took a unexpected twist. Glad you elfs are aware and seeking support for your battles with these substances.

Sober life is possible and honestly not that bad. Personally I never struggled with any addictions but know folk who have and now in my later 30s the difference between habitual users and people who don’t is startlingly clear in my old high school crowd. Alcohol really seems to bog a person down intellectually after a good decade or more.

Good luck on your individual journeys.

Psychic energy is so bad right now 9 in 10 ppl who put themselves out there and try to help others are going to go through some kind of traumatic life event and probably suffer addiction.

Especially if they don't acknowledge how schools and major corporations are using addiction to condition children since the foundations of advertising and putting stuff like caffeine, sugars, and crack coccainne into a cocktail and calling it Pepsi.

I’ve never drank alcohol, smoked weed or cigarettes or done any drugs for that matter. I have had people tell me I’m missing out, but from my side, they seem to be the ones missing out.

You know what I find addictive now? Lifting weights, I think about it throughout the day. I can rep 315 lbs on the bench and front squat the same. It’s just truly amazing the feeling I get from it. My biggest regret is that I stopped pumping iron consistently from the age of 23 to 34. I won’t get those years back, but I’m glad I am doing it now.

Ive been tanning my scrotum for days now and i feel GREAT!

[starkind]

Today dinner:

Whole fat plain yogurt. Fiberone (kinda terrible but ok in a pinch, tastes ok, good texture), raspberries & honey.

Whole thing was 140 calories. Since the yogurt is fatty very sated. I had tons of mineral laden protein laden beans and spinach and an egg today so no problems with blood sugar or hunger at all.

To top it off today was like a 900 calorie day. A little low. Decent still. Way better than straight up not eating for three days, then eating like pizza and hotdogs.

Also everything was kosher.

Total sugars for the day, well under 10 grams.

Edibles are now extremely sus to me because of fentanyl existing. That shit is so insanely potent that it can easily contaminate things by accident, no malicious intent required, it just needs to be in the physical vicinity of other things.

[Trexller]

if your edibles come from legit sources, then there is no greater risk of fentanyl ending up in your weed gummies, then there is for fentanyl ending up in your big mac or lucky charms

[Ciderpress]

Well sure, assuming the source IS legit and that sussing out legit vs non-legit sources is easy to do. There's a haphazard hodgepodge of legality when it comes to weed now. Plus, the 100% no-fentanyl-guarantee tends to run up the price, because of the oversight required.

The truly safe solution is to grow and process your own weed and weed-related products until it is no longer federally prohibited.

[magnetaress]

Is it legal to smoke it in public indoor areas there?

The way it is here right now u could go to the hospital and ppl would be lighting up 50ft away, still not a good thing.

I know 2cnd hand exposure triggers the f out of my psychosis. I gotta batten down the windows if my neighboor is out back lighting up. So I am of the opinion smoking it should be illegal. Unless you are like on a rural 2 acres or some such. Suburbs shouldn't exist anyway, but since we did the thing there should be laws until there are no more suburbs left.

That being said, banning MJ wouldn't have saved Chris he probably would have done it anyway. Butt there are a lot of f'ckn innocent ppl out there who will be put in harms way soon. Who do have the capacity to say no. Who do want to live good productive lives. Christian ones at that.

Having been in and out of the psychewards and shit too, if you have a psychotic episode even just a little bit, that shit can snowball into some much bigger shit or you just die in the ward due to the system treating inpatient mental health like dirty animals and not segregating patients with different diseases from the more angry/dangerous ones. Who belong on a ward better equipped to handle that. It's real bad r now. Probably better off going to a prison in Jaurez.

America is in bad shape. FL too. Even tho the 'seedy underbelly' is well hidden. DeSantis isn't gonna fix it just push the problem into zones where its going to be massively worse. And neglected. Tho I get where he is comin from with his most recent legislation. Some people cannot be free. It's that simple. This attitude that crazy ppl can be free... is not a good thing. Or that crazy people deserve to suffer or be mistreated because they are too disabled to do what is right. That includes really dumb ppl. DeSantis is trying to put the breaks on high THC commercial/edible stuff, butt I don't think its going to make a difference to ppl smoking it. Just push the problem into a black market area for those that are totally vulnerable and f'd up and shouldn't be around weed at all.

May as well just hand out crystal meth to everyone.

This is what happens when u let Satan "do anything I want guy, cuz muhhh freeedumbz" rule.

if you think that's bad, then definitely don't look into where your US based grocery store and restaurant food comes from

and if your weed source has to say 100% no fentanyl guaranteed, then don't buy from them, because it means they had problems before

[Ciderpress]

Haha well the no fentanyl guarantee was a joke, I'm saying it's naive to think that assessing a "source" for weed in the modern legal climate is trivial. There are way too many opportunities in the supply chain for it to be simply mixed up, mishandled, mislabeled, smuggled, swapped, etc.. in ways that food is not.

There are broader concerns too like, if I had a 10 year old kid and somebody offers him a "gummy" at a party he's not necessarily gonna read your post about the importance of legit sources first.

Back on topic…

Marijuana is a hellova drug
Although idk if I could say it’s a “gateway” drug, since I smoked it most of my life and never had any interest of getting into anything harder.

I will say though that it’s much more addictive than people like to claim. I tried to quit it for years and kept “brokeback mountaining”that ish with a loud and profound “why can’t I quit you?!”

I’ve since been off of it for about 3 months now and still think about it pretty often. On one hand it’s nice to not be a slave to it, on the other hand life is pretty fucking boring without it enhancing everything.

Double bladed sword so to speak.

Still I’d say boring life > being a slave to the bitch. I wish I could use it “in moderation” but that’s not possible. At least for me.

Once ya pop ya don’t stop nahmean?!
As Nelly once said “every 4hrs like a prescription I’m smoking it” or “I’m like one of those half baked thugs, I’m in love!”
The positives of not smoking anymore tho are my dreams. I actually remember all my dreams now and have major intense ones. When I was on the refer I didn’t dream, or at least remember them, AT ALL. So that’s been kinda fun and a positive.

[Pulgasari]

This is pretty dangerous. I know a lot of people who tried marijuana for fun and know they use stronger drugs. And this is the same with smoking. I started smoking just for fun, but now I have a nicotine addiction. I've been smoking cigarettes, but for some time now, after discovering the new Brixz Bar Vape flavors (https://nexussmoke.com/products/brixz-bar-nyc-9000-puff-5-disposable-vape), I switched to vaping because I believe it is less harmful to my health. So I agree with your statement. It's really just a little weed until it's not. It's really just a little cigarette until it's not.

Firstly, nobody click this link.

Otherwise, vaping is better than smoking. Flavored glycol suspensions are fantastically superior to tobacco as a drug delivery system.

It really sucks the ruler monsters decided we have to pay them higher tribute to make the switch.

You can also eat them.
