I drank heavily for most of my life, used heavy drugs for many years, used cannabis for 40 yrs of my life. Never became a addict. Quit drinking 10 yrs ago, just didn’t like being sick the next day, didn’t have any problem doing it, just stopped. Heavy drugs, we’re coke and speed, usually at parties on the weekend. Dropped um when I tired of um.
Cannabis I used most everyday, for 50 yrs, sometimes in the military I quit, have grown for 27yrs, bred multiple cultivars that sell around the country. I quit growing using and anything to do with cannabis 18 months ago. Just got tired of it altogether. Heavy duty night sweats, and crazy vivid dreams for a few months, which I never experienced quitting alcohol or other drugs.
Cannabis does not replace the urge to drink, or use any other type of drug. If you toke a joint on a weekend you will not test positive Monday morning, you have not built up the drug in your system enough. If your a chronic user, aka daily, you need to abstain for 2 weeks to 30 days depending on your intake to clean up.
I’ve never had a dui, been arrested under the influence of any drug, I’ve never been to jail. I’ve had a job everyday of my life. Married and raised a family. I’m 65, have had back surgery, stroke with a stent in my neck, battled cancer twice now, all in the past 15 yrs.
My head is the clearest it’s ever been, I admit I wasted a lot of time under the influence of **** I wish I hadn’t, I’ve seen drugs and alcohol ruin many lives. I look forward to the rest of my life as a sober individual.
With all that said, I don’t think any of it, is any good for anyone, alters your thinking and well being, I don’t go around banging the drum telling others it’s bad for them, person is going to do what ever they want, I don’t avoid people for using anything. I just don’t partake in any of it anymore, and I thank god I had the DNA/genes that prevented me from becoming a addict.
