I’ve been a daily smoker for the last 4 years, I had to take some time off for a job and it’s shocked me how my dreams have come back. I’m not planning on quitting but I’m probably going to try to stop daily usage. I’m curious how others feel about where they are with their weed usage and how it impacts them. I genuinely forgot what real powerful dreams were like and I ran a sleep study as a part of my university thesis and got to see firsthand how it impacts my REM sleep.
That’s really interesting, I can see how I might have gotten to a similar level. I had never smoked before university, I was always busy with sports/ school. I only started seriously smoking around COVID and I definitely got attached to it. I found it messed with my appetite and would make me anxious when I was high sometimes. I would smoke probably 4-5 bowls a day. The last 3 probably did nothing most of the time. When I was home from school I’d smoke joints more and at a more controlled rate. I found it more pleasant once I’d get used to a lower intake. Recently I’ve had to pass a drug test and I’m taking a month and a half break to ensure I pass. It’s been nice to see that I can very easily stop cold turkey. Outside of when I’m drunk I really don’t crave it.
Sounds like you’ve got a good handle on it, glad to hear that. I think smoking joints is probably the best way to do it, it avoids getting massive quantities into yourself like a bong can. Plus, its more of a social thing usually.
