Before I quit smoking years ago, I got to where the extent of my smoking session was one hit out of a one hitter. That's the best way to consume it. Getting baked just made me retarded.

That’s a decent habit. Best bet is to keep it limited to such a scenario, lest you being being the wake n bake stoner who inevitably slips down the slope of being a real pothead, getting baked all day every day. You’ll also be able to enjoy the high more of you smoke it once daily, and the effect is compounded at nighttime when you’re less distracted by daily/environmental tasks.

What's your experience?

I've been pretty good about keeping it under control for over 2 years--never take it more than 3-4 days in a row, take regular 2-3 week breaks, etc. Although it's admittedly gotten a little worse recently.

I have no idea how or why people end up taking it every single day for months on end. It's like you want to fry your brain.

Used to have an XR script along with various others. They just push your brain too hard for too long causing other unnecessary bio-rhythm complications. If you can keep your use sporadic that’s okay. Still never recommend using one thing for too long. You’ll know when too much is too much, though. Good luck. p

When you first started a couple stoner chicks probably fucked your for you weed, then as time went by they went to fuck guys with more money and better weed, but you sat on your ass continuing to smoke, hoping to summon a succubus, like a sad cargo cultist trying to summon a cargo plane with a coconut.

Just don’t be a retard that smokes every day. That’s how you fuck up your brain. I find when I keep it to the weekends and don’t get fucking ripped it can help my anxiety and sometimes my productivity. Really though it’s just a diversion. I have seen people ruin their minds with it but it’s the same as people who drink heavily every day.

I think when you are mentally and physically healthy and you consume something like weed it has more of a negative effect because honestly I prefer to be sober over high once I finally get high.
This is coming from someone whos only gotten high 5 times in the past year.

It has its place. I don't get high much anymore, haven't smoked this year yet. When I do smoke, I like to do it on a long nature walk or before bed. It's good for listening to music and just letting your mind wander.

Yeah you are right it's nice every now and then. But when I started doing it like every weekend it got to the point where i would be high and all I would be thinking is that I wish I wasn't high. At least when I get drunk I never think I wish I wasn't drunk.

i'm of the opinion that in order to truly never want to use something you have to have a horrible experience that isn't caused by external circumstances. if you've ever drank or smoked and had extreme anxiety or some sort of mental health crisis because of it you'd be really hesitant about touching the shit.
