do you smoke less than you used to? (monero.town)

I have heard that weed from the 70s era only had ~2% THC where now at least dispensary grade can hit 20% to 25% THC. That could well be due to the drug war selecting for more powerful highs in smaller packages, but i would think that would also reduce the quantity needed to get the high you want.

This. This got me. And it's a fucked up feedback loop. Because I'm addicted to nicotine I ironically smoked WAY more strong pot in spliffs than I would have if I had never 'diluted' the strong weed with tobacco in the first place.

On the occasions where I've managed to quit tobacco, I have almost no desire to smoke weed, but when I'm hooked I'm chronic.

The modern vape pens give a really good high. That was the previous problem: substitutes just didn't scratch the itch. Thanks to a round of pneumonia I've managed to quit tobacco again. Previously, the desire to occasionally get high and enjoy the sunset would open the gateway to smoking, but I'm praying the vape pen is enough.

I hate smelling like smoke. I hate wasting money on tobacco. I hate that I'm killing myself.

I feel good right now.
