I’ve smoked exactly one joint in my life. I don’t think I got high at all and didn’t enjoy the experience. But I’m curious to know what folks find enjoyable about it. Does it just chill you out? Does it make you feel like you don’t have a care in the world? I don’t think I’d ever try smoking one again but idk I’d maybe try edibles in a vegan brownie or something.

Introspectiveness, entertainment, makes my job more engaging (it’s an office job, no safety risk there).

It puts me in a better mood. I become more sociable. Sometimes a little more energetic and a little euphoria.

Getting too much at once makes me anxious for a little while. Smoking too often makes me feel inebriated and annoyingly distracted. I find that smoking everyday is fine as long as it’s not all day. It’s sort of like having a couple of glasses of wine with dinner kind of thing vs polishing off a 6-pack every night.

Most of all it provides some relief. Like I just feel relieved. I don’t feel like all my problems are gone or that there isn’t stress. But I feel lighter than usual. That’s the kind of thing I miss when I don’t smoke.

There’s no hangover, nausea, or dehydration. I can remain physically coordinated enough to hike while mentally relaxed to the level of one beer. I can still think clearly and have normal control of my emotions. It doesn’t cause sexual dysfunction or the physical effects of alcoholism. The flower is more complex than roses so it’s interesting to explore. And finally, CBD is about as good as tylenol for inflammatory pain but without the liver toxicity.

How you describe here really appeals to me. I don’t even drink much because I can’t stand hangovers.

I personally have switched almost entirely from drinking to weed, and it’s awesome to not have to commit to being in an altered state until I pass out and not getting hangovers.

Cannabis and psilocybin, the latter as microdoses if you want positive benefits (energy/creativity/anti-anxiety and antidepressant effects) without visuals, are both safe enough that my only concern is with the cleanliness of the supply. If you get a flower vaporiser it doesn’t reach combustion temperature so you get more complex taste, comparable to a saison or sour, without any smoke to impact your lungs.

One time I ate all our kid’s breakfast burritos at 1am, pretty guilty explaining why I had nothing to feed her before school

i feel like this was the plot of an afterschool special when i was a kid
