[iowastatefan1929]

Enjoy frying out your brains and lives with modern THC... I don't want to pay for your early onset of senile dementia alzheimers, paranoia, and lung disease. The medical literature is the there but you are too ignorant to research it out. There are tens of millions of us who oppose your immaturity and ignorance. What a clown show. Now go ahead and scream and cavech ..just like the losers you are.

You seem to be the only one screaming here. I hope you find the peace and happiness you seem to be missing. Good luck in your journey.

Do you need a hug from Daddy?

So the government would knowingly mislead us? Huh...

The "Government" isn't misleading you. When's the last time you saw a PSA about pot? The 90's? It's agenda of individual politicians. They are barely even enforcing it at the federal level anymore unless you are a moving a lot of weight.

I was thinking of this scene...

Not sure I know anyone who smokes whose clothes reek of pot smoke.

Ever go to GameStop?

I too suffer from ADHD with both depression and anxiety. I also think that I have begun my journey with CTE after a play hard life filled with well over a dozen concussions. I have been struggling mightily with severe anxiety attacks for the last 8 months or so, which for someone known to be pretty go with the flow, has been a horrible experience.

There are days where I feel that my gummy usage (I keep it at a consistent dosage of 12.5mg of THC per usage) is the only thing keeping me from blowing my brains out and other days where it makes me feel like they make my bad cycles worse so I haven't seen it as the be all/end all answer for my situation. Sometimes it just makes me run through endless cycles of self loathing where I can't let up on myself and I just beat myself up over the things I should be doing differently. Other days it is the perfect tool to help me focus on an enjoyable task in more depth and range. Still trying to figure it out.

Like anything, there's good days and bad. Fingers crossed for more of the good ones. Good luck to you.

First step to combating the self loathing would be to stop subjecting yourself to cyclonefanatic.com.

I have "severe" ADHD and never felt it was an issue until living with a depressed ocd wife. I felt it was unfair of me to help her get treatment but ignore what I was doing to trigger her stuff. After suffering from AFib the day after the big xii championship in December I was told by my cardiologist that binge drinking was the number one trigger. (He said one drink a day was as bad as 7 one day a week.) I rarely drink unless I'm tailgating and then I drank a lot. I also switched off Adderall to Stratera as I think being on amphetamines for years was really a cause of my issues. Along with new stress in a promotion, covid, etc.

I exercise, attend Bible studies, get therapy a few times a year. All good stress reducers, but sometimes I really would like to have something to take the edge off, especially for golf tournaments. I recently got CBD gum and that helps a bit. I have my annual physical Thursday and hoping to get my doctor to allow me to get some thc, but I think it will be the same answer as the past. Interesting too that my company whose main admin offices are in IL, CA, CO, and AZ have all legalized it, but as a law-abiding resident in IA I'm screwed.

Order Delta 8 gummies from South Carolina, they will ship them to you via US Postal Service.

you can order Delta 8 from Kansas City. It arrives in one to two days to Des Moines. If your ever in Minneapolis, there is a bunch of Delta 8 stores up there too.

That has to be a typo since it’s not a true statement.

Nope, literally what he said. 7 drinks a week is bad no matter how you break it down. Who was I to argue?

Oh boy... I'm in trouble.

Not that I'm trying to defend my own drinking habits, but there have been plenty of studies that show that isn't true.

 

[deadeyededric]

Have any of you ever tried DMT?

No. But I’ve been a victim of PMS more than once.

I mean, not drinking alcohol is better for you than drinking the alcohol. I would say that’s true.

The Iowa guy thread got me thinking about vices. Substance not other.. First off, your preference. I'm sure liking gummies after decades of not using it. So many alternatives available. Not hung over in morning. Always calming vs what booze brings. No calories.

yeah, that is such an out of date thing. With the edibles, tinctures, and vapes, why would anyone actually smoke it anymore?

Depends on what I’m doing.More busy social situations tend to have a drink. Later at night tend to indulge in the other. Helps me sleep.

I love all those options but I'll never stop smoking old school flower.

Pop an edible and have a couple drinks. It is the best feeling and and I don't feel hungover the next day and I sleep great. Gotten more into weed the last couple years. Knowing how I feel after having a few drinks vs having some weed and I know which once is taking way less of a toll on my health.

Once had an edible that made me see sound. Woke up the next morning smelling like nothing but nachos.

Isn't the point that no one has to smoke it today?

So many other ways to ingest it other than smoking

Depends. I prefer alcohol in moderation if with other people. If I'm just chilling at home I like a chewbie chew before relaxing on the front porch.

If I am going out drinking I will eat a gummy. It saves me money and the drunk/high is perfect

If you get the mix right after a night out I’m a firm believer that the cannabis moderates the alcohol hangover.

Use either quick fix or sub solution and you will never get busted dropping a UA. Easy as pie. Get some hand warmers and do a couple of testing runs and you're good. They use synthetic urine to calibrate their machines. They don't know the difference.

I'll be the elephant tin the room...good cross section of posters here. I wouldn't mind using cannabis again in order to diminish my desire/need for beer/alcohol. Haven't used for 30+ years. How does one get it when one lives in an "illegal" State, ie, MO.

Missouri like Iowa, I think, as of now only has medicinal marijuana.

Feel free to DM me as needed. Seriously, how do you guys get your stuff?

I go to Colorado and Illinois a lot for my daughters soccer and pick up enough to last me a while. Just drive the speed limit on the way home.

It's not so cut and dry, especially as you get older.
