I don’t “get high” I medicate!

I ended up hurting my knee and being prescribed opiates. 9 years of “can’t do anything for you, here’s more pills” and being miserable on them. I also couldn’t smoke because smoking just amplified the pills so I had to give it up. I finally got fed up with feeling like that and just stopped taking the pain pills. Smoked for the first time in a decade to help take my mind off the withdrawals but had some pain relief too.
All the things I heard about pot helping pain I went with because it was pro weed, but I hadn’t experienced it and kind of thought it was a little bit BS. I was wrong! It replaced oxycodone for me and instead of feeling shitty from the side effects I enjoy them. I smoke for fun too but I don’t generally try to get dumb anymore, which keeps my tolerance nice and low (embarrassingly so at times 
).

PTSD, and anxiety (social and general). Pot helps slow things down.
Getting high is nice too.

I use to get high to calm down from potential stress (waking and bake) and smoke all day basicly to deal with everyday life with blazing bowls and puffin on j’s.
But now its like preparing to take acid. If I’m not in a good mood, its not a good idea to smoke. It increases my anxiety alot of the time. I want to be in a stoner friendly environment when i smoke now, free from the stress of the world and to truly experience my high the way I should be able to. An blissful experience not a clutch from stress.

I use cannabis to deal with symptoms of PTSD and bipolar disorder.
The PTSD, it stopped the recurring flashbacks and nightmares.
The bipolar, typically to treat my manic symptoms. Like others have stated, it slows the thoughts and allows me tondeal with issues as they come up instead of all at one million mph. I usually have a relaxing variety as well as an uplifting variety for depression.
I also use THCA and CBDA to treat anxiety and panic attacks. Though those have been a lot less severe since I quit antidepressants and benzodiazepines and replaced them with cannabis.

I have what’s labeled severe depression. The herb is my most effective treatment. I get high to achieve a sense of well being that I’m not able to accomplish by any other means. It acts as an appetite stimulant which is necessary for me. PTSD is held in check. It helps me stay in the moment. Regrets are silenced temporarily. It heightens the senses when listening to music. It makes loneliness tolerable. It is my medicine.
Blessings…

I suffer from depression and anxiety as well, though I have a much better handle on the anxiety these days so I wouldn’t say I use cannabis for that, but certainly for the depression. At times, I also obsess and worry over things much more than is healthy. Cannabis slows down my mind to a comfortable speed. I have episodes of mania at times and it quells that racey thought clusterfuck.
Now for the truthful and unhealthy side. It’s also a coping mechanism for me, and I’ll be the first to tell you it’s also an addiction for me, albeit nominal. It doesn’t rob me of my money, friendships, stability, etc. like other addictions (been down that road too), but I’d be lying if I said that it doesn’t come with some negatives, too. Only speaking for this guy in that regard, and I am much better off with weed than without.

Mainly for insomnia. Tried using it to help with anxiety/depression but it didn’t work. I don’t smoke much anymore though since I found other ways to manage.
I try what I grow once or twice and give the rest to friends

Just sing you want to get high. We can make the words up. I’m sure. Lol. It’s a sin that it’s against the law. Imop. A crime against humanity. I really feel this way. Way more things out there. Cell phones when driving. I’m getting where like if you would take care of that problem I think that would solve a lot of other problems. I’ve done way more on alcohol. Pot you can get a little paranoid. In my opinion you stay out of trouble.
