I’ve been smoking weed half my life, though in the past 5-6 years it definitely increased now that i work at home. I also used to sell it so I would always have a decent amount on me.

It started to feel more like a compulsion instead of just getting high. I would pack the bong and smoke it and be like, “why did i do that”. Plus my tolerance is way too high, Ill rip an infused joint and not feel much, making me question myself more.

I don’t drink much. Ill get a 6 pack every other month maybe and then when it’s gone i don’t get more for awhile. So i decided to test myself: I just wasn’t going to buy weed when I ran out. I was going to try and treat it like a 6 pack. It’s been 5 days no weed which is probably the longest break I’ve had in a decade.

Anyways if i can do it you can too, and i appreciate your support. Love you Hexes.

    i live in a medical state where getting the card is basically a formality. Really helped getting weed since as I’ve aged I know fewer and fewer black market weed dealers.

    One of the qualifying conditions is PTSD, so i told him i watched my dad take his last breath after a 2 year cancer battle and now I have PTSD i guess? lol it’s weird.

      I got a prescription in like 2005 and told the script farm doctor who had a picture of a weed leaf with a psychedelic background on his desk that I had back pain. He nodded and asked me if the back pain made it hard to sleep and then also marked me down for insomnia.

        Reminds me of when I visited California before it was legalized for recreational use, there were doctors offices/dispensaries that had lists of all the symptoms/issues/whatever you want to call them that would qualify you for a medical cannabis card. It seemed like they had everything from glaucoma and back pain to insomnia and low appetite listed. And of course they had the prerequisite weed leaves plastered all over lol

        In 2016 I had a Skype interview with a doctor who didn’t have his entire face on the screen. The whole interview was maybe 30 seconds and he asked if weed helped with my symptoms. Then the secretary out front filled out the actual paperwork. Buying weed from a dispensary was the shadiest legal thing I’ve done lol.
