Phew, guys. What an intense last months its been. By mid february I took the most time off work I've taken since I started, and I was having the most amazing vacations. Then nearing my planeed retunr to home, the whole COVID-19 thing started reaching its critic point. With border closings and general hysteria I had a lot of trouble getting a flight back. I ended up having three cancelled planes, then had to buy another ticket because the airline I had originally purchased from basically ghosted us, lol. Having to expend that extra bucks after all the expenses associated with a regular vacation really sucked. But hey, seems like the world is approaching its end so who cares about money anymore. Luckily I was able to take a train to my mothers place while abroad, so I avoided paying a hotel or whatever while I sorted the flight-back-home situation. I'm also lucky to have a contract. With imminent lockdown and total quarentine in my city, things will get really ugly for the unemployed and people working independently. Since I just arrived from abroad, I have a compulsory 14 day quarentine. My laboratory closed, anyway, so we are working from home, experiments are suspended and we are doing mostly boring administrative stuff. Which in a way is good because I never take the time to do that kind of thing.

We got back home just yesterday. We are living such crazy times! Hope everyone is safe.

Wow that's intense man. Yeah we certainly are living in crazy times. It's not the end of the world though. But it's a huge slam to the global economy and a giant shake-up in terms of daily life. I'm hearing from people I know who have it and it's like serious fevers, 2 weeks or more of intense sickness, difficulty breathing, and that's if you don't get it that bad. All the music plans for the next few months at least are just gone, totally sucks. But nothing to do about it except try not to get sick.
 
You know, I think the worst part about this whole pandemic is the fact that there’s no legal pot shops here. I wana smoke away the quarantine and my pot dealer is AWOL. Can’t make new contacts because the bars are all closed. I’m so. Fucking. Bored.
 
Well really I’d say the worst thing would be I lost my retirement fund if I had one but I’m poor so no money tied up in stocks 👍
 
Man I went wild last weekend and I still don't feel right... very fuzzy-headed, intense fatigue... yesterday during the day I felt awful, super anxious, shivery, could barely think... I took some phenibut, and went on a long hike with my girl after work and had a nice evening, it was really good, then passed the fuck out for like 10 hours, still feel fuzzy and not great today but better. Not sure whether I went too hard on gabaergics (phenibut? Benzos?) or just exhausted. I didn't used to get affected by exhaustion that much but I'm not so young as I was anymore. Well I feel better today because I was really stressing that I had benzo dependence yesterday... now if that's what this is, I at least know I can use phenibut to get past it and that's easy to taper down. But there is also a good chance I'm just paying a price and will feel better in a couple of days of taking care of myself.

Remember Xorkoth, you're not a kid anymore... ffs. 8)

Honestly the only way you lose your investments right now is if you panic sell. I mean I guess it's possible it will never recover and only go lower but I seriously doubt that. It will go back up in a few years maximum. Certainly it will get better than it is now. My retirement account is way down too but I'm not gonna retire for 30+ years so I'm not stressing.

I figure the market will rebound in a year or two; however, my father-in-law was about to retire in May, now he hasn't the money for it. My own father planned to retire in a year or two and now he thinks it may be another 10 before he can afford to. Anyone who was close to retiring just got seriously fucked this week.
 
Yeah true. On the plus side, the Dow is up almost 8% so far since it opened today, market reaction to the impending stimulus/relief bill.

Fake money is being driven up by fake promises of fake money. Gotta love 'Merica.

You guys know why we fought the British off? 'Cause we didn't want to pay our credit cards off (well, they didn't have cards obviously back then, but I digress). IMO after studying the culture of Revolutionary era America, debt was the driving factor behind action. Good ol' guys like Thomas Jefferson and George Washington were living beyond their means and didn't wana give up the good life, so they said fuck it, we'll secede and then we won't owe any English folks money anymore!
 
watching these daily trump live conferences shouldn't be this fucking funny in times like this
 
here they're about to quarantine this area from the rest of the country (Helsinki metropolitan area)

Man I finally feel reasonably decent today. After last Thursday through Saturday I went too hard and felt utterly exhausted, I don't think I've ever felt so tired except maybe back in 2008 when I was coming off of long-term chronic lack of sleep and AMT abuse. I was really nervous I had etizolam withdrawal as I was very cavalier with it. I'm not sure, it may be there is a touch of that, or more likely a touch of phenibut withdrawal. I had a really hard time sleeping last night but even so, this morning I feel pretty good, so much more energy, and a much more positive outlook, and the brain fog is pretty much gone.
 
Man, I thought I would never worry about ‘cannabis WDs’ again because I’ve gone through WDs from opioids and benzos and they’re soooo much worse. But last night was my first night sans herb in months, and the rebound insomnia and general apathy was VERY pronounced. I did not sleep much last night despite etizolam. Hopefully tonight will be better, otherwise I’ll abandon my slow benzo taper in order to gain a nights rest, I really need it right now.

i had the same issue when i quit smoking cannabis after 15 years of daily use. Took me around a month to finally get a normal sleep pattern again.

Yeah I mean, I've experienced it before, usually only lasts a week or two. I was just surprised that despite my harder drug abuse, I still suffer rebound insomnia from cannabis cessation. I mean, c'mon!

Get yourself some hemp to smoke. You can order it online, some of it is pretty good and can at the very least get rid of some WDs like lack of appetite and shitty sleep. CBD actually makes for great sleep.
Some of the strains can have up to 2% THCa and that definitely leaves you feeling a little buzzed.
My gf who doesn’t smoke weed gets full on high from hemp.

I tried some a while ago and didn’t think much of it, but I’m thinking I’ll give it another go. Can’t order any right now though because I’m in the midst of moving addresses, so for the time being I’m just relapsing on O-DSMT to help me get past this.

Funny enough, I have a wayyyyy easier time getting back off opioids than I do weed. Not sure why...

Where’s it from? Is it just a Dutch Ban or a EU thing or the U.N.?

Edit: never mind just read the top it said Netherlands. That sucks man... all those things have been illegal here for some years now we rely on NL to produce them and get around our nanny state...
