Can't someone get whatever strains they want, and see the terpene profile, and what parent strains it has, and vape it, or use AVB (already vaped bud)? And mitigate a lot of the toxic effects (most from smoking and many from metals altogether)?
Doesn't suit everyone.
Definitely does make me feel better the next day. Can raise mood. Can destroy my gross motor skills. Vaping is far better.
I mean even 5 yrs ago, I'd have to wait an hour or so pre showering, and 15 years ago, yeah smoking and on nothing else, or on effexor, it was literally dangerous for me.
Due to hEDS- ADHD, spatial awareness, spinal, soft tissue reasons.
It is pretty good in recent years, but I only really used it during the pandemic, and then like kept lithium orotate on hand. Like many substances, it can fk up joint instability, which is pretty important
for someone with a connective tissue disorder.
It does help pain, and sleeping.. I liked hybrids. Girl scout cookies, Ghost train haze, tangerinze haze.. Also kush. OG kush. Pineapple express. High CBG and CBG strains.
IN Canada and NL, you can probably get whatever you want (costly though or sometimes require the medical stuff, for like specific medical issues).
In America, it depends on the State.
I know many PHD's and like professionals that use it, but for me... Yeah I avoided that and drinking for years, for decreasing BDNF reasons (making it harder to learn). For LSAT/law, trading reasons.
I am sure that I learn exceptionally fast, things I am interested in (and some things, yeah I will never learn tbh). So, not everyone has to worry about it.
I have done comp sci, math, econ, business classes, exams fucked up, drunk a tiny bit. And also stoned (in first university. I was a fkd up kid). But yeah I never would after mid 20s.
ON amps, or coke, fine. I can still learn. I barely do anything, I'm just saying. I prefer things that stimulate BDNF and similar pathways, in a controlled manner. Such as (controlled dose and duration) ketamine and other psychedelics. From research and some experience with things like MDMA.
Weed definitely can help trauma, can help dating, can help turn off the Type A or stress case type of personality, some people have. But can also really lower their motivation.
WIth hard drugs, it is either a great replacement, or a great comedown.
Many deaths and violent crimes could be prevented if like alcoholics switched to weed.
Smoking it, literally destroys the medicinal uses though. And of course, vaping it... some of us are super sensitive. I think people with mania, hypomania, hypermobile tendencies.
Just read a bit of a substack I am subbed to, and yeah there's tons of evidence that there are covid vax links and hypermobility conditions, those people had mini strokes.
I told this prolotherapy place I saw, that most people with myoclonic dystonia have hypermobile ehlers, hypermobile spectrum disorder, or similar.
I did have heart pain, maybe a mini stroke, but yeah I am sure I react insanely to meds and some drugs, for the same reasons I have some aspergers or autism, hella ADHD, and some other tendencies...
It is weird though, many people with hEDS and even worse forms of EDS, seem to be fine with medical cannabis. I literally can't walk at times. But meanwhile, I act perfectly normal on some stims, or up 1.4days, or drinking coffee at 2am (whether I woke up early in the am, the day before, or at night, any time).
I feel like weed is so much safer and less bad than most drugs. And people can literally quit it, if there's a major problem.
I have quit harder drugs though and even most psyche drugs and definitely the stims, are far harder to quit. I used weed like 6x from 23-29, all the time at 21.
And just here and there, sometimes like 100 d a year during pandemic, and I was fine. But it was vaped, and in coffee, and in edibles. And dose controlled (mostly).
Definitely near psychedelic experiences for me at times. But I am hypersensitive.
Even if I used the same strains I liked, and smoked them instead of using pre made vapes, or an Arizer, or similar, smoking would fuck me up asthma wise. And definitely coordination wise.
I think it's way better than near all psyche drugs (besides the other ones, they are slow to bring back or legalize).
Like Cannabis and MDMA are all cool, once the VC (venture capitalist) suits (MBA's) are bringing it out to mass market. Otherwise the govt doesn't want us to "enjoy" our medicine, nor seek
higher levels of consciousness. They are cool with using drugs as experiments on us (hence, the first Trump assassin, Manson Murders, MK Ultra, Covid Vax, So many other drugs).
I will use MDMA and ketamine properly soon enough, bc I can't wait for these idiots to bring it to market. And I usually had great connects for everything.
I will get some anabolic connects in person too.
Pre massive legalization in Canada, you could order thru Canada post amazing products, Now it costs more, and you have to go to the store. People still have dealers obviously. But I only really had
a coke and mdma dealer. My friends were all dealers when I was a kid though. So yeah that was a terrible experience with weed (on Effexor XR).

I may fix the above later. I went off the rails a little but
With Temp controlled and variable voltage mods you can control dosage, duration, and fine tune the high. It is pretty good tbh.
Coming from someone who is "clinically clumsy". Probably won't hurt you at all. I can lift after some strains. And also study.
It is totally a different drug than smoking it.
High cbd strains. And pairing that with some 70:30 hybrids actually helps my ADHD, and pain. It is costly, but what 2000 a yr on weed or what, 1500-2000 on ADHD medicine and 3000-5000 on ketamine injections (maybe nowhere near that, but definitely not cheap).
versus hardcore psyche drugs? yeah i'd take either weed, ketamine, or psilocybin, or mdma anyday over any of that shyt.
However, I'm cured or near it for PFS (shutdown tho and missing neurosteroids, and not supplementing them, bc I had some fake gear and canada post is down over a month).
Smoking weed while on effexor and with untreated ADHD and hEDS is like a nightmare drug (and CPTSD or BPII and or autistic tendencies or whatever label there is).
Vaping it and meditating, or working out, walking, chilling with a friend, listening to music... it is a great time.
