I'm a freshly minted pot-head in my mid 40's! I've had alcohol issues most of my life. Last time I visited a legal state I decided I'd get some goodies and try them out to see if maybe I could substitute for alcohol. I'm finding it very helpful! What I like the most is that it doesn't fuck with my sleep like alcohol does and I don't feel like garbage in the morning. Unfortunately, I can't smoke it properly due to the smell, but I'm really enjoying edibles and vaping. Anyway, just wanted to say hi!

Howdy! My older bro around the same age is also in the same boat - they are still at the early stages of giving up the bottle. I really want to introduce them to this miracle plant - but I'm still holding off a bit longer before anything haha.

Smoking sucks anyway - it stinks, and it's terrible for your body. Dry vaporizing and edibles is the way to go. Fun part about dry vapes is that you can use different temps to choose what sort of affects you get from the plant.
