As a previous stoner I understand your sentiment but disagree. It was the dulling of my mind and the strong apathy that ultimately drove me away from pot. Coupled with the fact that I could no longer allow myself to be controlled by something. Feeling the need to have to have something, anything, doesn’t sit right with me. So ya, I get it. While I have chosen to abstain, I feel it is still highly useful for people in moderation. Some people still function highly with large amounts. It’s a natural substance that God made for a purpose. It is the responsibility of adults to find that purpose on their own. It is far less harmful than many, if not all, synthetic chemicals that are legal and available over the counter.
At the end of the day gluttony is the root cause of nearly everything. Is “it”, whatever “it” may be, controlling you? Or are you controlling “it”?
I only recently started smoking weed - after 4th back surgery - I only smoke at night before bed bc it helps me sleep. I don't smoke at any other time - it puts me to sleep lol.
Some advice, if you’re using it for pain moderation, find a way that’s suitable to you to eat it. Gummies, oils, baked goods, butter, etc. I can’t speak for drinks. I never wanted to try those.
Anyway, I smoked, vaped, ate, etc. Every which way. While recovering from a near death motorcycle accident, I learned to make my own pot butter. I was able to wean myself off pain meds waaaay before the doc could understand how. Just by eating pot. A regular sized pat of butter on toast or bagel in the morning gave me comfort all the way to early evening, at which point I would take a puff or two and chill on into bedtime.
Eating was way more effective for me. It also has more staying power in your system. Try it out by getting some edibles and see what you think. It made a big difference for me to eat it instead of smoke it. A lot better for my lungs as well.
If it works for you like it did for me then learn to make your own edibles. It will save you tons of money and will be way more effective. Search “Magic Butter Machine” (MBM). It’s what I used to make butter. All you do is bake whatever pot you like in the oven for a short time to ready it to release the magic, then throw it in the MBM with your favorite butter, and the MBM does the rest. Filter it and pour it into molds that allow you to take measured amounts so don’t end up eating more than you need and wasting it. It will change your life and give much comfort from your pain. God bless!

Same. It made me content with doing nothing. Including socializing. I know countless people where becoming a stoner has become a part of their identity and that is equally as weird as making being a faggot your identity.
It is less dangerous than other drugs, 100% agree, but it's dangerous in it's own way, of making you apathetic, agreeable, and weak. It becomes a slippery slope of saying it's up to the individual to abstain or use in moderation. Same can be said for processed foods, cigarettes, fast food, cocaine. It's a drug that messes with your natural dopamine and that is a problem when used for only recreational purposes.

Thx! I love edibles but the ones I can get here are useless. I had stronger ones years ago but I can't afford them now. I'll try the butter tho
