getting diagnosed with autism at 23 was the best thing that had happened to me in many many years and sure would have been nice if it was something I could have considered on my own

Also damn I wonder if there are race or gender disparities in autism diagnosis. Probably Not Fortunately

    “just try weed bro”, etc. (More common in physical chronic illness communities)

    This is the truth. Once I saw a post on /r/migraine that said something like "I've tried everything, including cannabis, and nothing helps" and half the replies were just "have you tried cannabis tho?"

      Weed is the new magic treatment for zoomers and millenials. Even though smoking it is unhealthy (because smoking anything is unhealthy, do edibles if you can, vapourise for harm reduction if edibles don't work) and in terms of neuropathic pain, it can only help for central neuropathic pain, it cannot help for peripheral neuropathy. At least from what we know as of now.

        I’m pretty sure it’s all being astroturfed by guys who got in early as soon as they could open stores in California

        Say that on :reddit-logo: and the /r/trees bunch will stalk you to the ends of the earth, frothing with rage, because they're full of peace and love that came from le weed and how dare you. It must be le smoked, because asking for any other delivery vector is like mom telling them what to do.

            Some people have smoke allergies, there's some social settings where smoking anything is just inconsiderate and rude, and there's other ways to get high that don't require smoke in the air (or on clothes and furniture or clinging to the walls or cycling through an apartment building's shared air conditioning). That's what I was getting at, too.
