Comedown might’ve not started yet :)

They do, and here I was going to add “but they’re a bit less fun”, but after reading the wiki article I’m not sure.

Due to their effects and symptoms, Datura species have occasionally been used not only as poisons, but also as hallucinogens by various groups throughout history. Traditionally, their psychoactive administration has often been associated with witchcraft and sorcery or similar practices in many cultures, including the Western world. Certain common Datura species have also been used ritualistically as entheogens by some Native American groups.

When I was a kid, I spent a few summers living nearby a sunflower field. At the end of the season, snatching a flower with some friends and munching on those seeds was the best thing ever :)

We would often roast them over a bonfire holding the flower by its stem.

Weren’t these “real people, not actors” actually actors? I remember reading about these ads catching a lot of flak for that some time ago.

“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by yadda yadda…”

Yep. And then opening threads in those communities looking for new mods. But the overwhelming majority of replies seem to be either trolling or giving them shit. Whatever few people volunteer are heavily downvoted, and a lot of those are either powermods moderating dozens or hundreds of subs, or people you do not want to have as mods anyway. So whatever thoughtful and insightful moderation there once was seems to be in heavy decline.

It was his in the 00s and he bought it back in 2017, as some article mentioned earlier.

I started smoking when I was 15.

A while later, someone gifted that book to me. I barely started it and put it away, and it was lying around the appartement for 2 years. One day I randomly picked it up and finished it that day. Went from ~20 cigarettes a day to 0 overnight. That was like 13 years ago, and I never wanted a cigarette since.

That 90% success rate seems to be the case within my friend group as well :)

Sawing off your leg or getting tapeworms also helps you lose weight. I wouldn’t call those benefits tho.

Ok, you have to be trolling. Are you? No one uses “I could quit whenever I want to right now but I’ll just do it later” seriously.

Read Allen Carr’s Easy Way. It’s not a great piece of literature, but it’s the best book to help you wrap your head around why you smoke and whether you actually want to.

Can’t recommend it enough.

Greece can’t seem to catch a break. This is now what, a fifth island/region to be engulfed in wildfires?

And their hottest month of the year is usually august :(
