You laid it bare. Others will see themselves in this and it might just help them. A great piece.

St. John's is a great place to be an alcoholic.

Your cannabis experience is enlightening. There are many many cannabis users who think nothing of having a quick smoke in the morning before work or a couple times during the day just to take the edge off. Do the same for alcohol and we'd say these folks have a serious problem.

Fascinating read - and interestingly, unflinchingly honest. I like that.

on a side note, there are experiments being done with psilocybin for ADHD and anxiety micro-dosing too.

Interesting read 🤔 I'm not sure if you want feedback ... so all I'll say is that I've always believed that addiction is a function of personality rather than substance and my concern that you probably shouldn't be experimenting alone.

Wishing you all the best, with no judgement intended.

Thank you for your honesty. I’m curious. I’m wondering whether cannabis produces anxiety, and that the more you get high, the more anxious you are when you’re not high.
