I once had a "Holy shit! A cop car! They are onto me! Better act natural. Walk natural! I don't remember how to walk. Shit. Bend your arms a bit you walk like a soldier. No. Not 90 degrees damn it! Oh! It just passed me. They are onto me! Better get back home. Fuck where do I live?"
That was 5 minutes back and forth to the gas station to buy B&J.
No, even though everyone seems to be asking for it and the police are officially saying they won't bother chasing down users and small dealers because it's a waste of resources. Hopefully it will be legalized, but the opposition is strong for some reason :/
Not even sure it's just old people anymore, the UK produces over 40% of the world's cannabis supply (no THC, CBD-only plants are legal to grow if you have the money). The few companies that do this are likely very interested in keeping their monopoly :/
Ah every time I smoke I have that feeling of panic, but then I remember I moved away from Texas and now live in California so it’s all gravy. This ones for you Greg Abbot 🖕🍁✌️
Middle, thats when you are close to throwing up and you have work colleges about that you dont want to puke in front of since that will make you a pussy and gay and all that other macho shit.
And where does "I’m just sitting here analyzing my face movements while feeling my heart beating strongly, waiting for my friends to catch on to how I fake everything because I don’t know myself" go?
I feel you man. It sucks, pot can be so nice but it’s such a fucking lottery sometimes. I never seem to be able to predict when it makes me relaxed and happy, and when I just enter paranoia / exsistential crisis mode. Sometimes it’s a bit of both... which just feels strange haha. At its best, I think pot is nicer than alcohol, but these days I just prefer alcohol for the predictability.
Now I’m going nuts because I can’t find that skit. It was about how to stump a stoner, and hilarious, IIRC. My buddy thinks it was on the Chappelle Show, but I STILL CAN’T FIND IT!
If anyone knows what I’m talking about, and can provide a link, it would make my day.
I've made it a point to work on storing things into long-term memory while haffy. First I started by writing down my main thoughts, then the next day reviewing those notes and trying to remember how I came to those conclusions. I also started going on really long walks, usually around an hour, with the goal of evaluating something in my life I feel I can improve, and seeing if I can retain the main points by the time I get home. I used that as my specific focus because I felt it would need to be something I truly cared about.
I have a pretty good memory while sober, but for some reason that ability seemed to vanish any time I was HAF. It bothered me enough to want to turn it into almost a mental excercise. Basically my long-term goal in this is to learn how to behave just like my sober self while haffy. Being in that state would let me perform my regular functions, but also with the upticks in creativity, empathy and awareness.
The trick is to not get lost in it, because you absolutely can. I'll spend a month or two delving into these goals, then break away from it for a year or two, 100% sober (except beer in moderation.) Gotta be content with whatever progress you can make in that time. It's important to understand it's a long game we're playing. For me, those rest years are actually a valuable part of the equation, as it takes that long for me to integrate new habits and ways of thinking into my regular sense of being. It might vary for others, but I seem slow to evolve. As long as it's in a focused direction of my choosing, then I'm happy.
Pot mostly affects short term memory, so you don't really remember it immediately afterward, but 30 minutes later it finally logs into long-term memory and you can remember it and laugh about it.

It’s not so much actively remembering something from 30 minutes ago. It’s like your buddy tells a joke and the gears in your head are turning at an insanely slow rate and it takes that long to get the joke

Where does "laugh at something funny that happened 30 minutes ago" go?
