Used to smoke like a chimney in my teens. Because I was into computers at a young age I learned how to make money to feed this habit. It wasn’t like hydroponic weed or anything like that but it was a lot. I could go through an ounce within a few days without batting an eye.

Then at some point I started to grow up and my mind changed and weed started to make me extremely anxious and paranoid. I would take long breaks and then try it once a year or something and it would make me feel so disoriented about life it wasn’t very fun at all. Still get flashbacks just writing about it now.

Haven’t smoked for 10 years and don’t miss it. It was probably just another escape mechanism for me anyway given my circumstances back then.

But I do know other people (some who used to be friends) that had similar experiences of having their feelings/psyche amplified to unbearable levels.

If it helps you it’s great (especially if you have a really bad condition) but otherwise.. it’s an absolute waste of time and just numbs you to all-familiar state.

same exact happened to me, i would love to smoke a joint and close my eyes, listen to music and just go on a journey, and then one day i ate a too powerful edible cookie, and it ruined it all and just gave me anxiety. I think it was the overdose in that cookie that changed something in my brain to make me dislike the feeling

Similar experience. I used to love it on my teens and early 20s, but now it just makes me feel tweaky and anxious so I’ve stopped completely. Probably for the better
