Weed is legal here, there are dispensaries but you can get weed/vapes other sources too though that might be less trustworthy. I do trust the vape I have though cause my sister got it from an actual dispensary from the owner she knows. It was $175 for it so it’s not cheap stuff from an unknown source.

My only concern with it itself is like psychosis. I feel like I’m okay if I just use it once in awhile. Back in the spring though I really over did it with the vapes and edibles and I think that’s the main reason I got psychosis. I think I just can’t handle edibles. The worst I get from vapes is some paranoia. But I did over do those at one point to where
Possible trigger:
so that didn’t go well. My therapist is like a lot less strict about it because she’s a lot younger. My psychiatrist is in his 60s though and he’s very particular about any form of substance use.

Idk I’m kind of torn on the whole thing, I feel like very very light use of weed like once in a blue moon is okay like to relax after a long day, is it the same as having a drink or two after a long day once in awhile? Idk . One thing I don't struggle with anymore is being reckless with substances. When I was a teenager I’d binge drink and overdosed on DXM in cough syrup and combined codeine with it and took all kinds of random crap cause I had zero sense of fear back then. I’ve mellowed out now that I’m 30 I’m not quite as reckless.
I have a pretty similar stance, but I also know that, like with having a drink, some people just don't do well keeping it to 1-2 every now and then, and some people have 1-2 (drinks/hits) and don't like it or can't handle it for whatever reason. I was (am?) similarly reckless and haven't done anything extreme in a while, keep being curious as to how weed affects me now, but I'm afraid of getting that obsessed again. I did have a toke the other day to see if it'd help my appetite (I can't eat these days. At all. Like, it's 3:34pm and my only calories have been a protein smoothie, so yeah, I had to try.) It helped, but now my head is thinking I have to get high if I want to eat and everyone says I need to eat if I want to survive so logically I have to get high to survive I think one of my premises are off.

There's also I guess a difference between using something (really anything) in a healthy way to cope or chill or whatever or in an unhealthy way that's more escaping and avoiding life. Everyone needs distractions, but those distractions shouldn't take over.
