    The idea that losers abuse substances is the one of the dumbest correlation/causation mistakes. Almost as stupid as “black people are more likely to be criminal”.

    I smoked weed and went progressively harder for the last few years.I really enjoyed it a lot: my joints felt better, sleep was easier, I found more joy in movies, TV shows, music, food, and sex. Exercise was easier and I lost weight.

    Starting last fall I noticed my memory was getting bad, and at times my mind woukd just shut down. So at first I cut back, then stopped it entirely. Been completely off for 3 months nkw, which should be more than enough time for all the THC to be out of my system and my canmabanoid receptors to be reset. I never used it until my 30’s so there should.be pretty much no risk of long-term issues.

    Since then, I’m proud to report that those same problems just got even worse AND I’ve lost all of the benefits! Yay!

      Yeah I am on a break too and haven’t noticed this lightning fast recall that others talked about in terms of memory. But then again I smoked a lot and never had that bad of a memory to begin with unless I was like cheech and Chong level baked

    Have you ever saw half a police department steping on someones ass or breaking into a house because someone got a few dozens of well brewed alcoholic beverages? Alcohol is safer

      Not everyone lives in a country with stupid drug laws. The danger is not from weed, it’s from your dogshit government.

        You mean the things that protects you from the police? I thought they were made from mixing naphta with some other liquid. Alcohol burn fast, naphta causes better effect.
