Basically what it says on the can: why do you use weed? Are you a purely recreational user? Do you use for medical purposes, with or without a prescription? Do you use for a mental health condition? We're all probably some blend of these. What's your use case?

Personally, I do use cannabis medicinally to help me sleep. Neither weed nor melatonin cuts it alone, but weed and quick dissolve melatonin is just the right thing. I also use for recreational purposes. It's just fun to do things stoned. I also use heavily for religious/spiritual reasons. I'm a Discordian, and keeping a flexible mind full of doubt is important to that. Weed is helpful in resisting the siren call of comforting certainty. As a casual psychedelic, it keeps me thinking in interesting ways.

I was psychologically and emotionally abused by someone with the same personality disorder as Donald Trump, but much more intelligent.

I use cannabis to numb the constant pit in my stomach that makes everything gloomy and nothing positive. Otherwise, I’d be constantly spacing out in derealisation. Cannabis helps me focus on life, positive things, my work, my wife, my responsibilities.

It’s no miracle cure, but it helps me be a productive and positive person easier.

I have absolutely been there. Hell, I still occasionally spend a day or two there. Long story short, my parents are bad people. Cannabis helps lubricate my brain so I can work it into less painful formations. For me, it also lets my brain slip and slide into bad formations. I usually stick to CBG during the day. I'm so fucking productive with some CBG in me. You're doing the right thing. Just keep moving forward and stay in control.

Is it CBG flower? I am intrigued.

I get isolate and put it in capsules. I usually take ~200mg with breakfast and lunch on work days. It makes me a weed selling machine!

Do you just buy CBG isolate online?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah. There are several websites that sell it. I've been using HC8.
