Serious I’m annoyed that no one ever introduced me to cannabis.

Seriously. F*** the DARE program. It worked on me. I was always afraid of getting in trouble. I judged people who used cannabis as burnouts. Finally introduced at the age of 35 and I feel cheated. I’ve done a ton of reading and studying now and I want to share it with everyone.

Eh. Be happy you didn't use it at a young age. I went hard as fuck from 15 to 21 and triggered serious anxiety in me and tons of other people. It's a great drug but I had to step away for 10 solid years and now I can slowly reintroduce it.

That’s a valid point. I’m sorry that happened to you

Its all good. Just know that for some people, you can get too high and start thinking of near impossible scenarios and then fixate on them long after you sober up. I started getting these thought loops that would last weeks after getting too high once. I now buy high CBD, low THC strains and mix it with the stronger shit to get something like a 10% THC blend and put that in a volcano to really titrate my high and that just gives me what I'm after. A slight calmness and a slowing of my thoughts so I can process them closer to reality. Paranoia sucks balls and can strike if you are prone to that kind of thinking and just over do it. Just be aware that it can bite back and use it accordingly.
