Yeah, that's really shitty.
Once you get to the point where you're doing it yourself everyday doing, well, exactly that, it's terrible.
it's so gradual that you dont really notice you have a problem until you really have a problem
That was my weed experience
Usually related to depression or anxiety
self treatment
Mine was weirdly quick though, I started to fall into that pit, wallowed in it, and came out of it within the span of 2-3 months.
thats good
I had this ritual where every night after I got home from work I'd smoke a cigarette then get high, then a few hours later smoke another then get higher, then smoke another then get higher, then sleep and repeat
When I was drinking every single day or smoking every single day at points, it wasn't to get drunk really it was to get back to the base level of what had become the new "normal" for me.
I haven't had a single cigarette since I pulled out of that
It felt like me being drunk or high was my natural state
and sober was unusual
yeah i know what that is like @Ϻ14ᛟ
i still need to quite cigarettes
I luckily never felt that
I always found tobacco to be the easiest thing for me personally to just give up because it had no real altering affects like weed or alcohol
For me it was just trying to recapture the magic of this one night I had with it a while ago, every single night, and continuously failing and trying again, for months straight, and I totally ruined it for myself.
@Chloé Adsolution I had a bad weed habit too, and then i stopped smoking weed and a year late got into the alcohol. I never really got back into weed, it made me too paranoid
I feel like the negative effects are very downplayed nowadays
yeah
Definitely
everyone knows how bad alcohol and tobacco is
It went from the bad sides overplayed or made up
to the downsides being downplayed
alcohol did nothing wrong
But a lot of the downsides are very person to person
Say you have an anxiety disorder
Yeah, it's very personal
Weed can either dramatically help it or utterly ruin you
weed gives me existential dread
I only took it once and had a panic attack and couldn't speak for like 5 hours.
Like full on hallucinating that everyone could hear my thoughts
That happened to my friend when I tried to introduce it to her
Her boyfriend was not happy with me lol
weed just makes you want to keep smoking weed. I went on a long camping trip once and picked up some weed half way through, and did nothing but lay around and smoke. and after it was gone, i just kept thinking about how much i wanted some more weed. It put a damper on that part of the trip
Other people are perfectly fine and actually get better wth it
Well it does feel pretty good for a lot of people
It's not technically addicting but as with anything that feels good, you want more of it
(technically addicting in the physical dependency sense)
