I had a friend I recently had to cut ties with because he refused to seek help for mental health problems and just self-medicated with marijuana. For context, a mutual friend who owns an edibles company though he consumed too much.
Very curious of your thoughts on marijuana addiction if you’d be willing to share.
This was one of the first times I had to break off a friend because they refused to take care of their mental health. (But mostly a response to a psychotic break and political rant that I decided to walk away from instead of engage in)
It really helped me through a pretty dark period in my life. I had an existential crisis straight out of university.
I think there's value in it as a drug. I thought very creatively while on it, and wrote down a lot of notes for my fiction writing.
The downside for me was that it made it very difficult to motivate myself to exercise and improve my life. I stopped and was going to the gym 3* a week shortly after.
I haven't smoked in over a year, and will probably only do it on special occasions or with friends, if at all.
It's a wonderful drug for sharing experiences, thinking creatively, or getting outside of a rut in your thinking.
But it is not nearly as harmless as people say it is, and I'm glad I've given it up.
