don't do drugs alone.
drugs can be fineπ€· - but alone it can just make shit way worse; especially modern weed's got way too much thc (which increases anxiety) and too little cdb (which decreases anxiety)
Grow your own and it won't be as strong. π³π±
Homegrown and amateurly cured weed will have more CBD in ratio to the THC which take the edge off, much better than expertly grown stuff imho
Good advice, thanks! I'm still in a "studying pros and cons phase".
I'm going to disagree and say definitely try weed alone if you think it'll help. It probably will. You can dip your toes in slowly. I started smoking and it REALLY, REALLY helped keep me going to the gym regularly, because it made the music, etc...so much better that it just kept things interesting. Among other benefits (helps with pain, anxiety, etc...).
If you decide to go ahead with it then remember the two most important things for a good experience: (mind)set and setting.
It's important to be in the right headspace and in a place you feel comfortable with. When you're more experienced this can be applied more loosely but for early experiments it's very important.
yeah that seems like a good rule for recreational use. mine is more "treat it like a damn prescription, keep track of how much and how often you're using because you're a nerd and kind of like doing that stuff but also to see if there are significant changes, and try to minimize use" because if i don't wake and bake, one or two of my organs misfire. also i like spreadsheets and datasets it works great for me.
