As somebody who doesn't give one-iota-of-a-fuck about smoking weed or what you personally choose to do in your free time (veteran of the >3.5g a day squad):

It REALLY pains me to see users like Lemmy.World's FlyingSquid borderline killing themselves because quitting (even for 2 weeks) is too much to ask.

Not only that, this user can afford the MAYO clinic in the states and yet somehow NOBODY (even the doctors) in his life has told him he should put it on pause (or at the bare minimum, try switching brands to see if pesticides are the issue, or even try changing the strain itself to see if his favorite sativa is actively working against his GI issues)

Is this a rage bait account? He keeps posting random info about his medical issues (and specifically asks for advice) and then quite literally screams into his keyboard that they aren't doctors and that they don't know his particular situation.

Because I know you have an account over here as well Squid, If you haven't eaten for months and vomit every morning (and still smoke on a near constant basis) just consider reading the following:

No Symptoms? Don't read this. Do whatever the fuck you want to.

Again, I give 0 shits if you run yourself into the ground. But if you've ever thought "why does my stomach hurt so much every morning?..." perhaps consider a very brief pause just to see if it helps.

    Telling a stoner that it might be in their best interest to slow down is the most frustrating thing in the world. Weed is a very selfish drug and it takes over your brain. They simply do not want to hear it.

    I've been on both sides having also been a very heavy smoker in the past. I've also attempted to get several mates to quit or slow down for reasons ranging from financial, mental or medical.

    Sometimes you just have to lead the horse to water and pretty to fucking god they drink.

    Shout out to /r/leaves on Reddit. That was by far the kindest place on Reddit I ever encountered, and a source of strength when I was trying to quit.

        I'm not chastising anyone. I'm relating my own experience and experience with irl friends. You do what you want.
