Truly inspiring that you choose to feel everything.Oh man, where to start? The study is garbage, like most studies that report conclusions other than "we don't know", but if another study done equally poorly concluded some shlt about covid most of you would be like "don't deny science! What are you, a heart doctor?"
After smoking the best available, morning to night, every day, for 17 years, and then stopping "cold turkey" for about a month now; I believe that pot, for better or worse, levels me out emotionally and slows down my thought process. It protects me from exposing myself to strong feelings. When I was high, I didn't want to be cold. I didn't want to be tired. I sure as hell didn't want to be sad. It acted as a buffer to make me act and think in such a way as to not reach emotional or physical extremes. Running at a permanent 6 is attractive in some ways, compared to dealing with the full scale of 0-10. It makes you want to be happy and comfortable, and find ways to be those things.
Now I'm a bit of a mess sometimes. I get in a hurry and forget things. Last night, at the end of a stressful 60 hour work week, in pain and upset, I had a full on episode at work when I couldn't spin a pen around my thumb like the expoditer can. Cursing, sweating, breathing hard, went outside in the alley trying over and over and over and failing, punched a brick wall...it was embarrassing and uncomfortable. I'm alright with it though, part of the package of being me.
It took wanting to live a more psychologically varied and rich life, to want to step out into the cold, be tired, be sad, feel everything to WANT to stop smoking weed. I don't want to go back, for a while anyhow. Now I want to be in my 30s and get a little of everything, including goosebumps. I want to deal with being angry, I want to cry sometimes. When I'm older, and looking at things that there is just no getting around, dealing with shlt like what oneula is going through, I may very well want to get super high...because, fvvk, what the fvvk are you supposed to do, just think about that shlt? Nah. For now though, I want to go through stuff and let my brain do what it's going to do about it.
Physically, after so long using the stuff 24/7...I'm fine. My blood pressure is right where it should be. I breathe naturally about 4 or 5 times a minute, and can run until my legs give out, so I just don't think it's all that harmful, physically. I do fear that inhaling burning plant matter is cancer causing, but I base that on nothing and maybe it isn't true. Either way, after almost two decades of burning the world's best stuff all day every day, I can tell you it doesn't fvvk a person up like cigarettes do.
What a long rant, I must have needed to get that out. Hope it helps someone to read, or adds interesting information to your idea of cannabis.
Them pencil pushers should have just visited the erBB for better clarity. 15 y/o when I bought my first 2.2 pounds of rock - dirt weed in Baja. 60 years later, still rolling fattys, gin n' tonics a few times a week, swilling beer like Kento & life continues in paradise.
There was, a hiccup heart related mur-mur at one time but the science of drugs, well ....
has let me push the boundaries, of life.
"come at me, bro!"
i think so. one of my best friends starting growing lionsmane, chaga, and all those funtioning ones to make his own tinctures and eventually sell. its a serious operation, with alot of $ & time invested - 2 different gorw locations.
Yes and no. To get it all up and running it takes some effort, especially with sterilization. But once it's going you yield good returns if done right.
Growing shrooms isn't hard, but it is very sensitive and careful. I ruined mine by keeping an open soap in the same room. Lab conditions that boetch. As far as ordering them goes, just email whatever website is selling them. They have to put "won't ship to California" on there to cover their @ss, but they'll ship. They did for me. I got exotic and, like I say, ruined them. Then I just bought a lb from some kids in isla vista...this was more than a decade ago, though.
Thank you. We only get to live this one life (as far as I know/think), and I missed out on my 20s being a drunk, stoned, always at work, fog. I'm over that shlt.

The reporter apparently didn't investigate what "eudaimonic" means very well. It's not about meaning, at least not primarily or in the stoic sense, it's about well-being, which includes meaning as an important aspect of life but doesn't center on it. You might want to look into stoicism, if you're not familiar with it.Thank you.

Psychologists say a good life doesn’t have to be happy, or even meaningful
A new psychological study says that "psychological richness" can be one important dimension of a full life.
This article says a lot of things that make sense to me.
I put all my stuff in the same place. Every day and I still lose sh!t hahahaha@sc ...
STML?
putting stuff down, do something else ... and ya forgot where ya put your "stuff?"
drives me phuck'in crazy!!
you??
It's funny you say that. I got some weed delivered to my house with better service than amazon. Unfvcking real.I mean, sh!t, look at how long it took sbd to get a coffee maker. I bet he wouldn't take that much time to buy a sack of weed and some papers.
Yeah, I had to Google that and spelled it wrong twice
...meaning is whatever we decide it is, no? i just had that in my bookmarks because part of it resonated with me. I'm not a spiritual person, in most any sense. I'll look up stoicism, I'm here to learn.
