RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Drinking too much coffee and doomscrolling from my bed until I get my hands on another bag of weed later and can function (somewhat) properly again.
I've been there homie. Depending on my tolerance cbd can really help me slow down. It makes being less high way more manageable for me and therefore much easier to wean my usage down.
I should look into where I can get hold of CBD products. We don't really have dispensaries and stuff around here. It's legal to have but not to actually buy anywhere (or sell) lol. I think it is approved for medicinal use though.
Although you can get a grade of weed here that's basically a step away from being a hemp plant. As far as I know, that can of stuff is heavier on the CBD ratio of things. Doesn't taste great though.
There some solid online US companies if you can buy from them. I've really enjoyed outdoor from beleafer.com.
This is kind of sad buddy :/ sounds like too much weed
Lol I guess it is. And I'm absolutely addicted to weed. Anyone who says that isn't addictive hasn't experienced the lack of appetite, insomnia and general lack of will to live when you're a heavy smoker and you go without.
It's still probably cheaper therapy than actual therapists and pharmaceuticals though.
I hope you can feel better. I used to drink too much, I still drink but significantly less after my child was born. Makes me feel 100% better.
I can believe that having kids changes things. And yeah, I'd like to cut down as well. If for nothing else, then just my wallet lol.
I’m honestly lucky. I was drinking way way too much prior to my child. One month before it just clicked and I chilled out.
I haven’t smoked. How much is it per day? Whenever I look it seems super expensive.z
I buy R50 bags, which is around the price of a pack of legal cigarettes with some change left over. Although I think it's hard to compare prices of things across borders and currencies.
And this R50 bags are basically the lowest rung of the decent quality. And it's outdoor, so sometimes the quality is pretty close to indoor, sometimes it's not so great. And if the quality is good, it'll be a strict 5 grams but if it's standard stuff, the guy usually packs a little extra.
So it's also a bit difficult to give it a per day cost. A R50 bag can last me 1 to 3 days depending on a few factors.
Just want to add, I'm also my weed guy's movie and series guy. So I'm often getting free bags thrown in, in exchange for some movies and shit loaded onto USBs.
Imagine being a grown adult, completely oblivious to responsibilities and chores, all because “I need my weed.” Jesus Christ, what a soft fucking sad specimen you are.
Since I can't relate, I have trouble understanding anyone who needs to rely on anything to make it through the day. So many colleagues can't make it through the day without their coffee. People chugging their energy drinks, drugs, etc... I can't wrap my head around it. I don't drink coffee, alcohol, no drug use, and little sugar intake. Don't want to risk needing it just to get by.
Homie you are wound up as hell. I'd much rather see an empathetic interaction. I wish the best for ya.
