I used to vape full spectrum THC+CBD cartridges and other forms of "vape juice" ("sugar", "oil", etc. are in that category) and consume THC+CBD edibles all day long, every day (except when I had to drive somewhere, I would stop for 4-6 hours or more prior to the trip), for about 2-3 (maybe 4?) years when I was in a legal state, but then I had to move to a non-legal state and since I have a kid it's no longer possible for me to use any weed (don't want to lose him to the system). I miss it so much, I was so much less stressed and calm with weed, and I was much more focused on work and I slept better. Now, I basically have to take shitty OTC sleep drugs and drink a pot (haha) of coffee a day in order to survive, and I yell way too much at my kid and get too angry at work. I wish we could just legalize it everywhere (fat chance of that happening) and make it like tobacco and alcohol, both of which are way worse for you than a daily weed habit.
- rajin444 5y agoThat’s weird - I had to go off weed during a highly stressful period of my life. It temporarily made me forget about how stressful things were but then it all came crashing back after it wore off. I didn’t have time to process the stress sober. I’ve heard it’s very useful for extremely traumatic or temporarily stressful incidents but I found the opposite for chronic stress.
- ok_dad 5y agoI’m an anxious person and it helped me a lot. I think it really depends on the individual because my wife just gets more stressed and anxious on weed, but for me it’s a miracle drug. In any case, I’m okay sober but I would love to at least have weed occasionally during large levels of stress. I would never be one of those people who suggest weed is great for everyone, just like alcohol is okay for some folks but for others the negatives are greater than the positives. If government would get out of the way and let us all decide what we prefer, and allow us get high quality drugs from a reliable and tested source, then I think each person would be better served by that than the government being our mommy and daddy.
- phonethrowaway 5y agoThe farm bill made all hemp derived products legal federally at long as they contain only trace amounts of Delta 9 THC. Delta 8 and THC-O/acetate are legal. Not as strong, slightly different, but it gets the job done... kinda. Check it out... if you can. Check your state laws.
- ok_dad 5y agoI could easily get the real thing here, it’s not exactly weed unfriendly, but due to the nature of the thing I don’t want to risk losing my child to the system for even one puff. I’m pretty much just fine sober, but I hope reason wins here soon and they legalize it fully, until then I prefer not to take any risky shortcuts.
