Insufferable weed bros are pretty bad.
Typed between bong hits to be fair lol
Weed can absolutely be a crippling addiction and anyone who denies it is lying or ignorant
Same as religion. Certain personality types can be crippled by anything. It doesn’t cripple everyone.
Once a relative was prescribed antidepressants but decided not to get them because they figured they’d rather cope in their own way than use a potentially addictive psychoactive substance to mask their symptoms without fixing the main cause. It made perfect sense until it turned out “their own way” involved frequently drinking alcohol.
When I have pot I smoke 24/7, if I don’t have I don’t really care and can pass months before I ever think on buying again.
I just bought a weed vape, that dosen’t smell like pot and have been fabulous, I can smoke everywhere* without anyone knowing about it.
It smells like weed dude you are lying to yourself.

Nah, my wife can’t stand the weed smell and she’s being very happy since I got the vape because the house isn’t smelling like weed when I use it. The flavor of the vape is “peachy nerdz”, but I can’t feel anything else that a little sweet.
As a daily smoker, yes.
Though I will contest that it is largely psychological, when i go on a break after a couple days of poor sleep and appetite i am back to normal.
Wait am I still on the left side
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…)

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.
The psychological aspect is the hardest part of any addiction. Yeah withdrawal sucks, but depending on the drug it’s just like being sick.
If all it took to break an addiction was being sick for a week it wouldn’t be hard.
You sound like you’ve never experienced heroin withdrawal before. Sick is an understatement. It’s more like legs thrashing, everything hurts, you are simultaneously hungry and not hungry, puking, crying…every negative feeling wrapped into one, and the entire time you have the knowledge that one more fix would take it away instantly. That week feels like a year, and everything gets reduced to a second by second basis.
I’ll take my “being bummed I don’t have weed” psychological addiction any day.
Yes, I’m fortunate enough to have gone without that particular withdrawal.
But heroin is exactly what I was thinking when I added the qualifier “depending on the drug.”
I would never compare weed to heroin in any aspect.
I see now, I missed that qualifier.
If anyone out there is considering heroin, I’d highly recommend giving it a pass. It makes you feel fearless (William Burroughs called it being the “de-anxietized man”), but it also removes all feelings of remorse and regret, until you inevitably become an insufferable asshole. The addiction creeps in slowly, so you don’t feel it for weeks or months, and then one day, you can’t wake up without it.
If you think this story won’t be you, think again. I once thought the same. I’ve been clean now for 15 years, but it still lurks in my mind sometimes.
My wife and I have said we’ll each slam a hit on our deathbeds. But until then, nope.
Well, then, pro tip: take an allergy pill, it will keep you from itching too much on your first go.
Lol noted
I mean one is a legit medication for a lot of conditions so you could just be considered medicated. The other is just addictive poison and every alcoholic knows it’s not doing them any good and slowly killing them sooo. Yeah.
How are you coming to this post and being the person the meme is about lol
Because the meme is fucking stupid and misleading. Cannabis actually does treat seizures, pain, muscle spasms and the list goes on. Go fucking give people shit for taking their antidepressants and seizure medications. It’s the same difference.
