As someone who has eaten over 100 hits of LSD before I was old enough to drive, I can say it has helped me in my life. Wonderful memories, never a bad trip. I have used cannabis daily since I was 13 as well and highly (sorry, pun) recommend it for stress relief among other positive effects. Each person is very different when it come to these substances.
- thrawn0r 2y agoI think you are either an extreme outlier (not having a unpleasant trip while having taken over hundred) or delusional about your drug consumption. Your recommendation of consuming a mind-altering substance DAILY for stress relief " and other positive effects" lets me lean towards the latter. While each person is indeed different, their brains tend to work in a comparable way.
- block_dagger 2y agoDo you consider caffeine and alcohol mind altering substances? I do. Perhaps you’re ascribing too much intensity to the experience of using THC daily. For many folks it’s the base level or else our minds get a little wonky. See my other comment about my OCD/counting/introvert behavior.
- DontchaKnowit 2y agoSorry but if you started such heavy drig use at such a young age you have absolutely no way of evaluating if it helped or hindered your life. You hear this type of thing from psychedelic evangelists all the time "changed my life, learned so much" etc but when asked to substantiate these claims or provide any concrete evidence of behavioural changes or otherwise positive effects, they cannot. By the way, im not a luddite. Done my fair share, but I'm honest with myself, its mostly just recreation, and dangerous recreation at that.
- ganzuul 2y agoYour point is clear but you are also invalidating a person in a deep sense. That is wrong by default.
- DontchaKnowit 2y agoWah
- DontchaKnowit 2y agoBy the way, who's comment is more likely to cause harm, the one that suggests its okay or even helpful to smoke weed and do psychedelics at a young age, or the one that suggests a reality check on that perspective? And wouldnt ya know it, OP responded, wasnt offended, agreed with me, and had special extenuating circumstances that make his situation complete not applicable to the general public (save those with similar situations) "Invalidating a person" is a ludicrous concept. Perhaps I was a bit brash or rude sure, but "invalidating"? Give me a break.
- ganzuul 2y agoIt is not ludicrous. You just need to think about it.
- DontchaKnowit 2y agoOkay. Thought about it and I still think its ridiculous. Youre offended on someone elses behalf, and they arent even offended. By the way, by your logic, you are invalidating me by expressing that my opinion, my experiences, and my perspective should not be voiced because it is invalidating. Silly concept. Id have much rather you just called me an asshole and spare me all the pearl clutching.
- block_dagger 2y agoYes good point. I was very introverted and OCD as a child. I had strange compulsive habits like counting right angles and picking at the crown of my head. Psychedelics and cannabis seem to have had an immediate positive effect in these areas, allowing me to relax, socialize while still performing academically. I certainly saw various peers using these substances and not doing so well. Cannabis especially helps me with these issues even in my forties. I take breaks (weeks or months) but the old ways seem to creep back in quickly. But I agree - I have no way of accessing my other selves in the multiverse to compare.
- DontchaKnowit 2y agoHuh, thats actually super interesting, never heard of thc for obsessive behaviours. Well glad it works for ya
