Sober from weed..

How do people tolerate a shitty job and/or the horrible monotony of being a wage slave, after they have
quit smoking and drinking?

Before someone says exercise, which is a valid response when one is younger
and their body is not broken down from work and life.

It’s tough. Maybe try low dose shrooms, kava, phenibut, kratom, etc. When I’m longing for stimulation like that I usually cycle through those and acid pro drugs like AL-LAD

Hi guys! Wow this really sucks balls ya'll! I stopped smoking weed last month which is the reason I haven't come up with ultra cool ideas to post.

Now I have to stop drinking again also! As Tony the Tiger would say that's Ggrrrrrreat.

At least it won't be as bad as last time! And thank you my brethren for helping me out..

I was wondering if any smokers out there who stopped felt their creativity decline and if so when do I get that shit back?

I stopped cold turkey nearly 2 years ago. Can think more clear & have started making stuff with epoxy resin. Wish you the best in your journey.
 
In some cases weed is very good thing in order to deal with side effects from medicaments ( chemo and other kind of stuff where if you should use and still can't physically bear this etc ) and this IMHO isn't that bad at all. I don't support nor permit not prohibition to use weed. I had legally used stuff if to compare with this weed is pure water. I might afford to post this only cos this was prescr legal stuff. If it wasn't legal I never had posted about this.
Weed is water if compare with other stuff.
 
I think that governments if they does have intent to get money maybe better might ¿ de criminalize weed and allow to sell this officially while charging relatively huge tax for this stuff and then budget might get better funded and lesser money for mobs chains etc ...
 
At 38 years old I've just taken up weed! I feel I have a legitimate reason though. My back is fucked, I've had one surgery and I'm looking at another. The reason I've started is I was taking more and more oxys for the pain. I only do edibles though as smoking is yucky

It is best not to compare it to other things and leave it at that. I have actually seen many folks completely screw themselves up with weed. I'm not saying to demonize it or anything, as I enjoy it myself. Only that weed, like anything, can be abused, and have extremely horrible effects on certain individuals. When they say you can smoke yourself retarded, they aren't lying.

Everyone is different, and it is just annoying when some people act like it is some cure-all for your problems, when in reality, it has the potential to ruin some.

AFAIK weed for medical purposes is used as short term symptomathic therapy...
symptomatic therapy in general doesn't cures anything but it is usable to reduce this ....
For example in some cases this does reduce vomit and loss of appetite induce by chemo side effects or like these side effects induced by other medicaments you should use.

For example codeine still is used in medicine in order to reduce caugh reflex...usually after thorocal surgery .... etc ... while alone it does not threat disease but it is valuable medicament.

Coke still is used in medicine as stuff usable as local antesthetic and it is very good... if they does need to have you in full sense and able to maintain stationary position ...in some cases...and it is good stuff.

Even fent is valuable stuff in some cases and nothing wrong btw.
One thing I think that is bullshit is metadone.
They had intent to sell legally this stuff as painkiller and later started to offer this for drug addicts as legal heroine replacement therapy...cos as painkiller this appeared worse than morph, fent etc + to cease use metadone is very difficult...it is hell ..

Fent and it's derivatives are widely used in intensive healthcare ...and plasters for palliative healthcare ( usually slowly dying patients with cancer).
It is also very valuable stuff in cardiology and emergency cases because it does start to work really quickly unlike morph.

Not saying it doesn't have its uses, or that it is bad in general. Only that I dislike that hippie shit some say when talking about it. Like it is some sort of panacea. Got indigestion? Smoke some weed. Migraine? Weed. Girl getting dicked down by your neighbor? More weed! It is ridiculous with some folks.

It isn't proved that weed might help if patient does have migraine.
For migraine there are meds and combos ...and usually they are used not on daily basis.
Since these are well known decades ago they are cheaper than weed.....
 
If about countries , some are weird as like from hell. If it is legal and allowed to put patient on fentanyle months in row ( the same plasters ) and weed is taboo then....where it does makes sense for dying patient.
It is really painful stuff for a lot of these patients.
BTW low doesage fent plasters doesn’t prevent torture with vomit from chemo. Weed does better...
Sometimes palliative chemo is used in order to reduce pain..ofc together with these fent plasters etc stuff.
And if then " nice " vomit from chemo....why not to use on top weed a bit...
 
Tlughestvthi g after stopping for me was lack of appetite for a while and for like 2 months I couldn't watch TV more than 10 min at a time unless it was sports no matter how good it was it was just so boring.

After 3 months your brain resets n your good but the first 3 months sucks
 
Quote about palliative therapy and comfort this should provide.


" The prime goal is to allieviate suffering, and not to prolong life. And if your treatment does not allieviate suffering, but only prolongs life, that treatment should be stopped. "

Quit in March. I dont feel that much different. I sleep better, i dont crack the boys up as much when we are out because im not as loose and silly, bike rides and hiking and fishing while still great arent quite as fun. The biggest side effect is im way less grouchy and way less flaky. I was grouchy when i was smoking a lot and id make and break plans all the time.

It's only a big deal if you make it a big deal. The vast majority of people don't drink and do drugs every day and they're doing just fine. Better than you, if we're being honest.

Weed has never been associated with creativity in a scientific setting. Instead, researchers found that people high on weed were more jovial and they were more likely to evaluate their own ideas as more creative than they did when they were sober. In other words when you're high you think all your ideas are amazing when they're actually not.

For example to create a nice drawing you have to come up with a good concept, and you need a lot of technique and hours of work to pull off that vision (or an approximation). It's not actually that fun to create because it's effortful, but you do it because the result is worth it. When you're high you're experiencing a level of numbness that's not really compatible with creating anything of value. Whatever you would create high, you would make a better version of it sober.

Artists tend to have a certain personality type (high openness, low conscientiousness on the OCEAN model) and that personality type is more likely to take part in drug use. That's part of why pop culture thinks drugs = creativity. The creative (high openness) people are often on drugs, but the drugs aren't giving them their creative powers. In my opinion a perfect artist is both high openness and high conscientiousness, meaning both creativity and the ability to put in the hard work.
