Hi. This is my first post after having found out about this forum a while ago and reading through some of the threads.
I'm not too experienced when it comes to variety, as I've only done weed, K, NBOMe, shrooms, caffeine (duh) and amphetamines (Vyvanse, more on that down below), but I have a fairly decent theoretical grasp on things, as I've done a fair share of reading, and am VERY interested in trying out LSD and DMT.
Curious to see people’s honest average day with using drugs.
What’s your drug of choice?
- I can easily say it's weed. Preferably the focus/euphoria-providing kind, not the extremely relaxing kind. The CBD:THC ratio explanation has been pretty much debunked, so I'm not really comfortable saying I "prefer strains that contain more CBD/are sativa" as that's probably not exactly correct, but I think you get what I mean.
Worth pointing out: I take 70mg Vyvanse (amphetamine) on the daily. I'm 25 and feel like I was born again after I started taking ADHD medicine (which I suppose is what I have, but I tend to never be fine with simply saying I have it, as those diagnoses lack any scientifically objective metric), I take it everyday because it always provides new insights no matter what I'm doing, so I'm sticking with taking it everyday for now, though some of the benefits have definitely spilled over to my sober self in these 10 or so months I've been taking it. Since it's more for medicinal purposes, I'd rather talk about my DOC for recreational purposes, but thought it's something to keep in mind, as it may definitely have an influence in how my weed highs go and how I manage everything.
How long have you been using?
- I've been experimenting with it for real for about 2 years. Had some more intensive usage spells, while also having some more chilled out, hands-off periods.
How to be functional but using daily?
- Despite weed being mostly harmless, it can create long-term problems. If you end up doing it all day everyday, it can mess up your sleep schedule, make you more irritable for a while if you're not on it, increase tolerance to very high levels (which, in turn, leads to more use/abuse, not to mention the financial aspect of it) and so on, as many already know.
Thankfully, weed is just as easy to get off as it is to get on: Battling the urge to smoke it for a while, or straight up having a friend keep it from you, won't bring any extreme withdrawal effects. You'll probably miss it deeply in the first few days, may feel a little more irritable, anxious, perhaps feel "wrong", etc., but those are all pretty mild in intensity. Someone who smokes all day is easily capable of staying a week away from it, given some self-discipline, and the high they will get after just one week away from it is EXPONENTIALLY better than what they might have been getting on their intense, daily use. That in itself serves as a good motivator for moderation.
Now, to answer the question properly lmao: I tend to smoke ONLY after I've done a substantial amount of stuff for any given day. That includes, but is not limited to basic housekeeping, exercising, walking the dog, and some creative/intellectual progress. Getting high after clearing up the plans for the day makes it that much better to me, so it tends to be easy to not smoke my day away when I know I'll end up feeling anxious or have a subpar high. On weekends I give myself a pass and will allow myself to smoke as much as I want, whenever I want, but even then I tend not to overdo it.
What’s your dosage?
- Can't really say specifically in terms of numbers, but I tend to fill up and smoke my bowls completely, and will do that about 3-4 times in a night session.
ROA?
- Smoking. Had very little experience with edibles, not enough to have a strong high off of them. I plan on getting myself one of those Volcano vaporizers eventually, for both health reasons, and to try out a high from one of them, since people usually say they're the best.
Experienced Overdoses?
- For weed I'm sure that's nigh impossible, and probably everyone will agree on this. I've had experiences with bad weed, though. That shit had me wrecked the following day, but all easily manageable.
Noticable physical and mental changes. Both negative and positive?
- I'd say it's certainly helped me understand and sometimes live by perspectives I had no idea I would even consider having. It also provided me with a better connection to my emotions, allowing me to feel more comfortable with expressing myself honestly, and to cry much more than before, for both negative and positive things. I see that as an absolutely fantastic deal. These changes were most certainly also brought about by my amphetamines, so I may not be too certain as to which had the biggest impact on my recent lifestyle changes but, for those I mentioned, weed definitely had
some part in changing them for the better.
Hope my answers were useful.
