    I recommend trying to regulate it to the weekends at the very least. Maybe every other weekend, max.

    Being high all the time makes everything seem horribly boring when you’re sober. It kind of just drains your experiences from your life.

    (If your experience is chronic pain, well…)

      (If your experience is chronic pain, well…)

      And there’s the rub. I don’t want to be a wake-n-bake kind of person, but I also don’t walk fully upright until I’ve had a hit or two, and using my hands for anything requiring dexterity and/or strength means I’ll have invisible gremlins stabbing my knuckles with their tiny, invisible knives the rest of the day and night. “Microdosing” through the day allows me to get shit done when my body doesn’t want to cooperate.

        Honestly wish I could convince my grandma that weed would be better for managing her arthritis pain than the opiates her doctor has her hooked on.

          Weed sucks for pain.

          Opiates are the only thing I’ve found that makes any difference at all.

          Not everyone is you.

            And conversely, not everyone is you. Weed has particularly variable effects, I know it might not work for my grandma, but as I see it it’s worth a shot if the alternative is opiates. She’s only unwilling to try it because she grew up being lied to about cannabis and thinks it will make her crazy. She’s even afraid of CBD.

              Exactly

              But I’m not the one coming on here telling everyone weed eases pain.

              Notice what I said: “I’ve found”. I didn’t tell other people what would work for them.

                So I’m not a medical professional, and I didn’t speak out of an abundance of caution while making an offhanded comment on a shitpost. Sue me.
