Who smokes?

I take the same medicine and it makes me want to not smoke tobacco. It's been so many years since I've smoked weed (illegal here) that I forget what it does for me. I was helped with microdosing Xanax years ago. If I had too much I'd get sleepy but if I took the lowest dose then it would calm my add brain 🧠

I also smoke weed to help me

I was heavily dependant on weed (flower/ vape) for a good 6 years maybe - and my use dropped significantly dropped when I moved to a living situation where I felt safer and more at ease. That and sativa started driving my anxiety through the roof lol. Unsure how yours is but it could be worth taking a look at your home environment (who do you live with/ near / are there certain inconveniences that make it unbearable). I also make sure now that I mostly consume cbd when I do want to use weed, for the caaalm ya know? If you haven't tried already, I like CANN - drinkable edibles that come in high cbd ratios. It's my beer now since alcohol be a hella bad mix w my meds

I smoked daily for years (partially for pain/mood and partially because I just like it). I’ve had several times that I felt like I was using cannabis to escape and for me that’s a yellow flag. Being able to use talk therapy, EMDR & EFT therapies and finding proper treatment for my ADHD has been SO helpful 🙌🏼 Look up EMDR & EFT. They are simple things you can do at home (or with a therapist) that can help you work through years of things, in a few sessions verses years of talk therapy. I personally like a combo. When I get negative thoughts about something (myself, my day, work, relationship, etc..) I stop and state 3 positives about that thing and keep it moving 😊 Meditation and mindfulness breathing has also helped me quite a bit 🥰 You’ve got this and you can make it through it!! 🫶🏼

Only here to say? My naturopath recommends everyone take HCL with meals if they smoked because it’s been found to lower stomach acid which can lead to lots of problems including gallbladder, diabetes, etc. So if you smoke, take HCL to combat low stomach acid!

I started microdosing a year ago after talking to my therapist. And for me personally it helped. I started out doing it 3-4 days a week for the first month and then slowly started stepping down. Now I just do it every once and awhile when my anxiety and depression symptoms bubble up. It gives my brain a break from the noise and makes me process and manage things better. If you take enough to feel it right away then you’re taking to much. Microdosing works by taking enough for the mental health benefits but not enough for you to feel like you have taken mushrooms. There’s a happy medium that you have to find.

I think it might be helpful to examine the way you think and how much of it is reasonable. Talking to a therapist along with analyzing my behavior helped me realize things I would never suspect on my own. Hearing from Other people was also helpful. Weed is nice at the end of the day though. I know the clarity it can bring. But life shouldn’t suck without it. I have been there though. I guess weed slows me down, and that’s what I need. Things that I’d be usually oblivious to become clear. Treating it like an aid helped me. I was able to put 2 and 2 together and realized I might have adhd. Now that I found a medicine that has helped me, I don’t long for weed anymore. You’re doing great by looking closely at your habits!

I think I have a problem with alcohol. It helps me relax. I've figured out that you pay for your mental health one way or another anyways, so if I quit, would it be any better? No, because I can't live normally with the amount of obsessive thoughts that I have. There are healthier way though, like sports and medication.

I smoke everyday and have for 5 years. What I’ve recognized is weed helps you get over things but sometimes you really just need to get through things. Weed for me just makes me get over things I should be stressed over and it’s great because it does! But also you gotta deal with the stuff that makes you stressed. Also - I’m trying to quit vaping right now too, highly highly recommend nicotine patches. They really do the job and get rid of the craving.

I’m the one who has to take illegal things to keep myself on the road. I am well with it, and seems like I don’t need any additional help, but I have my bf - and he’s feeling better while taking sulphate amph (which is one of the substances used in Adderall) + smoking weed. And it doesn’t work for him as there is no weed. So
