      Seconded. I would but here it’s illegal, my contacts have dried up, and I can’t afford it :/

      I wish it was legal because I’d much rather have an end-of-week puff as I don’t like to drink.

        Yeah, if I could tolerate thc, I wouldn’t mind the occasional toke myself. But almost every time I’ve tried anything with thc in it, it has been anywhere from bad to horrible. Only times I’ve ever managed a pleasant high was with my cousin helping me along, and there were still bad moments here and there. So it isn’t something I can relax with, sadly.

        I have discovered that CBD doesn’t do it, so I’ve gotten lucky in that regard, and I pick up a little when I can afford it for pain relief. It isn’t a total relief, but it helps more than any of the pills I ever had prescribed.

        Never been a drinker with any regularity, and I hate being drunk lol. It’s a silly thing, but my wife actually remembers every time I’ve had more than a single finger of bourbon or scotch. And in the almost twelve years we’ve been married, it hasn’t hit double digits.

        That’s me, Mr fucking sober buddy lol. I’ve done more designated driver runs and trip sitting than I can recall, but I’m not a user of even the light drugs now that I quit tobacco.

          Everyone’s body reacts differently to substances, nothing to worry about. Because there’s a history of bipolar disorder in my family I’m a bit wary of trying anything psychoactive like LSD, Acid, or DMT.

          Also, good on you for quitting tobacco! Nicotine is a really addictive sonofabitch, especially since it comes in more socially acceptable forms. I have tried many times before using all of the methods (reduction, cold turkey, patches, gum, inhaler) and none of them worked. Only vaping has managed to keep me off the cigarettes and I’ve now reduced the percentage from my starting point at 20% down to 5%. The next step is either 3% or 0% and then kicking the habit itself.
