man i think the decision to stop smoking weed was really good for me
i don’t regret anything about how i’ve smoked/how much in the past because it’s definitely helped me but i was kind of getting to this point where i was using it as a crutch to deal with my issues
like any other mind-altering substance the highs were really high (i’d be so happy i’d be in this manic state) and the lows were really low (numb, extreme anxiety and depression)
i will definitely smoke again because i love weed but i think time apart from it has made me realize that even if i wasn’t sitting there chiefing all day my relationship with it was definitely unhealthy
obviously we are all different and going through different shit but i urge my stoner bbys who smoke at least once a day (if not more) to take a week or two off to see how it interacts with your mood and happiness to get some clarity on if it’s actually working for you or not
i smoked pretty much every day for the last three years and one week off it i feel very clear and creative and happy (in a very un-manic way). i’m very curious to see what your experiences will be if you do end up taking that t break pls hit me up and we can talk about it!!
obviously you guys already know but just want to clarify for those who don’t know me as well that this isn’t me passing any sort of judgment,, just sharing my experience
some of the most functional and healthy people i know smoke weed every day! i guess what i’m trying to say is, is your relationship with weed toxic? is it affecting your ability to be yourself without added stress?? perhaps it is time to evaluate
to clarify — it wasn’t this “miracle solution” for me, months of introspection and actively working on my mental health have led me to this point. i still have to continue to do that (now more than ever) so i don’t fall back into old, comfortable patterns of thought that harm me
