It’s so crazy to me that weed is still perceived so poorly all around the world.
In LA, it’s completely normal to meet up with friends and colleagues at a weed lounge instead of a bar.
How do they compare? Weed lounges are chill, full of people laughing and vibing, pura vida vibes. Bars can be loud, aggressive, and a lot more dangerous (especially for us ladies!)
Just some thoughts as I roll a j 🌿 #weedstr
Both are poisons so pick your poison I guess
Been saying this for years. Found alot of money goes from alcohol companies to governments to keep it this way
That’s all I want!! I would so love to go to a weed lounge and chill with friends pura vida style! I’m very jealous we don’t have those in SC.
I live in Anchorage, AK and we've got more weed shops than convenient stores. We passed a law that basically treats weed the same way as alcohol.
We don't have lounges yet, but they're suppose to be authorized soon, we don't currently because we have no smoking indoors laws and it creates a catch 22.
But also growing for personal use and possession have been legal here since the late 70s (early 80s?). The only thing illegal was selling.
Has caused me countless disassociative episodes. Regret ever smoking weed. Needs more preparation and warnings, as it isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, but I’m really glad to see how many people it is helping 💜
Ah so sorry to hear! I think it also depends on what you smoke.
Dispensaries in CA are super informative and budtenders can help you find what works for you. I think if you’re buying from some random dude on the street, it’s a little more challenging to know what you’re smoking
Curious how the process of “finding what suits you” goes 🤔
Isn’t legal here and never bought it myself either, but regardless of my lack of knowledge, I’m totally at fault for not looking deeper into it 💜
Just learn the difference between Sativa strains :High strung, make you want to "work RN!" and find dust bunnies under your couch kinda high, and Indica strains: which make you passive, sleepy, and want to eat an entire shelf out from your fridge.
Hybrids are where you start exploring what works for you.
My Husband can't smoke anymore but loves to. It's sad because he's depressed and suffers from PTSD from 9/11 in NYC, without it.
It damaged his throat from smoking for years.
It killed the cilia in his throat and he is in agony if he smokes any more.
I love the stuff, and it helps me too.
How about edibles? Some can be too strong, so start small. There's no smoke though!
I didn’t have a very good reaction to weed until after my frontal lobe was fully formed. In high school it would make me curl up in a ball crying on the floor. People told me I rolled the best joints. Didn’t realize until I was older they were just trying to keep me occupied so I wouldn’t be a sobbing mess. Didn’t try it again until 30 for medicinal purposes and had the help of a bud tender helping me pick strains. I’ve since learned I’m very strain sensitive.
didn’t have disassociation episodes before weed, haven’t smoked in months and they are still taking place (experiencing one right now actually)
Are you sure it wasn’t laced with something?
I wouldn’t know, wasn’t mine 🤔💜
I’m so sorry. Are they at least decreasing in frequency?
Wouldn’t say so 🤔
Some days I can snap myself out of it, other times I can’t. Probably targeting the underlying anxiety would be the way to go
I wish I could offer some helpful advice but it’s outside my wheelhouse.
it is what it is, thank you for the love and support ❤️
you must be single
