Dude idgaf, I was guzzling a literal neurotoxin that I was severely physically addicted to I'm fine being a lil psychologically dependent on a chill 0 cal bev that has minimal negative health impacts, that also works significantly better for me than the heavy pharmaceutical meds they had me on 🙌
THC is not a neurotoxin lmao Also I specifically drink it to save my lungs ❤️ also, smoking weed makes me mad anxious and nonverbal, I cannot socialize on it I have Bipolar I w PTSD my guy, I need a lil something. And I really, REALLY hate the pharmaceuticals. The side effects are soooooo bad.
Bb multiple studies have shown its neurotoxic effects at high doses and long term exposure. Weed isn’t bad, and is great for many people, but it can be abused and you’re def at that point. You’re looking for a way to avoid feelings (and treatment it looks like) and replace how alcohol let you do that with something you deem safer. Esp in people with mental health conditions thc is linked to psychosis, esp in bipolar people, higher rates of anxiety and depression, and that’s just the mental side
How are you getting that I'm 'abusing' it from the fact that I consume it in liquid form lmao Yeah I know all about the risk of psychosis shit, I've lived this life my whole life, weed works fine w me; my sister has schizoaffective and it does NOT work well w her tho Yah the whole notion of complete and total perfection and abstinence in AA/NA is a huuuuge part of the reason as to why the relapse rate is sky high. Ts is just not realistic and stupid. You don't have to make life as difficult-
And terrible as possible. The point of getting sober off your DOC is to become a healthy, functional individual who can live without substances ruining their lives. Not to practice a life of full-throttle purity and perfection. Plus between my Biochem degree, my experimental psych masters (in progress), and multiple doctor approval for my THC use, I'm very chill in my life choices
I’m not saying you need completely abstinence. Hell I’d even argue being able to manage moderation is much more difficult and a higher achievement than complete abstinence. But ignoring how you’re using a drug bc “well it’s not as bad as how I used xyz” isn’t actually helpful. It’s a replacement. And you’ll keep replacing it forever until you actually stop and treat what you’re trying to avoid. That doesn’t always mean pharmaceuticals either, btw
Ik wym, but it reflects that bad 'required' radical abstinence thing Dude I can mentally challenge my Bipolar I all I want, it can't be worked through or fixed, it's a neuropsychiatric illness 😭 Believe me, I do a lot of introspection/reflection, and have been in a lot of programs/treatments/therapy. And I am in therapy. I'm working through the PTSD! And detox/rehab REALLY let me work through why I was drinking like that/all the roots
Maybe I made it look like I bought that bottle to face tn- nooooo 😭 that's for social functions where other ppl are drinking alcohol Like I'm going to this murder mystery dinner next week and using it to make a THC cocktail or two while everyone else has cocktails I just have a seltzer before bed usually
