I never understand why people say this. I always feel like shit the day after getting high. I’m tired, cranky, irritable or have that weird anxious feeling like something bad might happen (that I never otherwise have).
I get that way with high potency flower, concentrates, or high potency edibles taken too late at night.
It usually wears off by 11AM, or whenever I’ve had my coffee. Coffee knocks the cobwebs off, as I say.
But, typically, I don’t get this, but could also be due to my tolerance being high enough that I can use it to treat anxiety and PTSD, while not affecting my day to day activities.
Weed doesnt do anything to me the next day. Smoked a fat bone last night before bed, this morning, im fine, chillen with the birds n bunnies having coffee.
Alcohol the next day, Id have a headache at least, id have woken dire of thirst, and id probsbly, at least, be slow af this morning.
I mean, I was at a point where that was no problem, drink six beers and go for a run in the morning. You get used to it. I think it’ll affect everyone differently. There’s this misconception that weed is for everyone, and it’s unfortunately not, but we all want something to help with the escape from reality.
Depends on the strain and how much you’re smoking imo. For me, just a little high helps with socializing. But also depends on what kind of people I’m around
weed helped me get over anxiety because I would just blame the anxiety on the weed. Id tell myself nobody can see the anxiety swirrling in my head, its just the pot running away with my thoughts, so I just started ignoring it when I felt it. Now weed rarely gets me anxietal. Big truth in “depends on who Im around” though. Thats true for me too, time and a place, like anything.
And for me (just to illustrate individual difference, do what works for you my friend), over time the dosage window that’s pro-social gets narrower and narrower, to the eventual point that a one-hitter induces muteness that’s only overcome if alcohol’s added to the equation. Switching up strains helps for a bit, but eventually ends up the same way.
Actually find I’m way better at socialization when no weed is involved at all these days. Do wonder how much of my social issues around weed are chemical v. behavioural - seems to make sense that if most of your smoking time is spent zoning out to the TV, or even just quietly locked in doing chores, that behaviour might carry over in other settings. But idk.
omezpic and other semi-glutide equivalents are also hurting alcohol sales too, there is likely a lobbying thing going on, consider insurance are deciding not to cover the drugs.
As others have mentioned, price is becoming an issue. But also, more legalized weed is hurting alcohol as well.
Yup why drink and feel shitty later when you can get high and feel fine when it wears off.

Okay now try drinking 6 pints and rethink your comment

I totally agree with this assessment, but being high and being tipsy/drunk are also very different beasts.
I wouldn’t smoke if I’m trying to gain a bit more social courage lmao

My partners like this. One hit wonder I call him.
it is not a one size fits all kind of thing, for sure
