Hello all. I have read much in these forums and there is a lot of helpful info.

I used to be a stoner and it took long for me to realize that the wonderful herb was no longer a luxury but a necessity to stay sane.

So now I'm cutting back on my state approved medical marijuana because it cost me too much in time and money. I was something of a stoner and because of my strange genetics/body chemistry I, along with a small minority of cannabis users, am unable to fully quit. Maybe I will just keep taking it as medicine but some people like me get nightsweats and nightmares and rage even if they stop fully.

I am here because I have tried most of the popular drugs, had short term addictions to a couple...

Now I want to be real, get real and really help somehow.

I'm not even sure how to help others but I'd like to think I can prevent others from falling into some of the traps I did.

Maybe I am nieve but I believe that by sharing my stuff maybe I can help someone.

Maybe I can convince just one person to say no to someting that would otherwise devour their life.

It happened to my cousin with alcohol and now he helps so many people.

:)
 
And no I am not a troll. Maybe I could do a better job introducung myself?

I'm just a young man who is a loner most of the time. (I guess this and my Aspergers syndrome is probably what makes most peoplemon this forum ignore me)

I do like nature. I like hiking and chilling outside in general. I like vegetable gardening. I like animals; I'm a big cat person.

I am definately not your average mid 20s guy. TBH I often wish I "got further" at this point in life (whatever the fuck that means anyway)

But I have become so disconnected and uninterested in our consumerist culture I do have other goals.

I hope to join an off the grid comunity one day and help grow all our own food. I work at a health food store and I am all about returning to a sustainable way of living which we have gotten so far from as a society.

I'm a little worried honestly about getting too specific about myself especially since the NSA leak. Does anyone else here feel this way and is this paranoia justified in your opinion? :)
 
That's great stuff man, and don't doubt your ability to do some good! I'm having some trouble coming to grips with my issues...I'm currently using pain medications (opoids) and although I certainly have dependence, I don't consider myself addicted...but when I go off the pills (3-4 days every 2 weeks) I suffer. Anyway, I'm here to share my experience and try to avoid worsening my situation and help anyone I can. Good luck to you!
 
Thank you. Good luck to you too. I only experimented with opiates thankfully. Never took them more than 20 times in my life I would say, maybe 40 max.

The shit I go through when I stop smoking weed makes me a very bad candidate for regular use of other things.

I'm just glad I learned my lesson with pot but then again who am I kidding; the 2 mg of clonazepam (klonopin) I've been taking prescribed daily for anxiety for at least a couple years now isn't going to be fun to come off of.

But anyway here I am just trying to get answers for myself and help others however I can :)
 
Hey mate, welcome to Bluelight :)

You should post pictures of the vegetables you have grown!
