Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I have experimented. I'll smoke still if I'm feeling ok. But usually just before I sleep. I'll hit a dry herb vape my wife has and get just enough of it to feel a chill vibe. Then just relax myself to sleep.
I don't do well on it in a long awake period. But it's been 2-3 years since I have done that. Maybe I should try.
I think I definitely need a "plan" for when I get high. Like "I'm gonna smoke and watch this movie". I think the lack of purpose leaves me with anxious thoughts that already exist.
I forget where I heard it. But I've quoted it for years.
And I take that to mean that what "enhanced" means could be different for different people. Some may feel like it lets them overcome that anxiety. It enhances their ability to overcome it. Some may double down and actually become more anxious.
I think weed is awesome. I just think that it's extremely different for different people in different mental states or periods of their life. Which is why I roll my eyes (figuratively) at the dudes at the dispensary telling me about what a strain will do.
Its very complex. Not because of the plant itself even. I think because of how complex our brains are and how we deal with the change weed triggers in them.
I should try more nights smoking in place of alcohol though. And maybe this is the conversation I needed to try that. So thanks.
