Maybe you're like me and you used to just smoke weed because its harmless and great fun to do. Maybe like me, you've fallen prey to increasing health problems as you age(and I was not that healthy to begin with). I first started smoking weed when I was in my early 20s. I met some hippie type friends and they changed my perspective on a lot of things. I still wasn't a regular smoker though. That didn't come until a feral plant grew to maturity in my compost pile without me realizing it and then just for fun I harvested the thing and put it in a bag. A friend took maybe 1/3 of it and I left the rest for a while before I started smoking a bit here and there. Long story short I quickly discovered that despite being so much fun it was also helpful with health issues. Unfortunately, the worse we feel the more we tend to need to smoke to feel anything good off it. For lack of a better word its like the stress "eats" the high, and it takes more cannabis to make up for that if feeling anything good is to happen. Its like a stress tax that sucks away your high. My partner and I both have severe digestive problems, and we both have several serious nervous disorders(most of which cannabis helps with. It only seems to make restless leg worse though). I miss the simple days when I just smoked to get high and we didn't feel like we need so much of it just to be able to eat and get any chores done. The amount we need to function medically is expensive and stressful in a prohibition state. My current grow has suffered bad setbacks and we've been really struggling to smoke through this winter. I really envy my various friends who can just smoke when they get the opportunity and are able to stop doing it for however long they need to get jobs and other good things(I'm disabled, but its still an issue in our household).
Anyway, just felt like venting about the halcyon days of recreational pot use. Do you feel similarly sad to actually need cannabis rather than just want it? I'm sure I am not the only one in a prohibition state that is suffering from this reality. Vent here if you like!
