Bruh, my first time on shrooms I looked down at the floor and became so enthralled with the pattern and how it was moving that I bent down and got so close to look at it that when I came back up my mouth was full of lint and pet hair. I then went and melted into the bed and became moss.
Great time, honestly.

My first time I was outside in summer. I was grooving out, watching clouds, and then a plane went by.
Then it happened, visually, my brain zoomed in on the airplane and I could see all their little panicked faces..
They were about to be eaten alive by a cloud! The cloud opened its mouth, swallowed the airplane whole, and then turned into the devil just to mock me.
My girlfriend at the time couldn't see it.. she just kept asking me if I could stop farting while I was crying.

That's one of the reasons D.A.R.E. programs backfired. When kids who were in the program later learned that parts of it were total BS, they questioned everything they learned there and ended up MORE likely to use drugs.

The war on drugs prepared child-me for a world filled with queer, satanic, DnD playing witches passing out free drugs like candy.
When I reached adulthood and was sorely disappointed by the lack of this archetype, I became the change I wished to see in the world.
edit: also, just speaking from personal experience - people will definitely just offer you free drugs if you're in the right place at the right time and have the right vibes.

I was offered more times than I can recall. People don’t like to smoke joints alone and they try to rope other people into it and sometimes they are very pushy.
I’m not anti drug. It’s legal where I live. But free hits off a joint are probably the universal gateway experience.

I don't really smoke no but i do edibles instead but very low dosage. It doesn't take much to get me buzzed. Im talking 0.5mg would give me a light high. I've tried a bit more like 1.5mg and I genuinely forgot 3 hours in the day and ended up fighting waves of anxiety. But I try and take like once a week. Since the edibles last so long i really space out when i take it. Mostly on weekends when im home though.

u/LiveFastDieFast Aug 25 '26
I hear ya on that, weed anxiety is weird. Way back in the day I smoked daily, like full stoner status. Then all of a sudden one day it just started to give me gnarly anxiety. Eventually ended up quitting cuz there was no chance of getting back to a nice chill mellow high. Miss it for sure, but prolly for the better I guess lol

u/TwistedScarletRose Millennially confused Aug 24 '26
TN banned THC products.
But they got dem liquor sales.
Alcohol DESTROYED my life and my health.
Weed makes me want to sing, and eat good food.
Alcohol sent me to a path where I was throwing up pure black bile into a bag, but I had thrown up so much there was no gag, just muscle control as the shit slid into the bag.
Weed may have fucked up my memory, but I've never had good memory.
I know THC is iffy for those with mental health disorders, or schizophrenia.
My father was a diagnosed schizophrenic. Be abused alcohol, and drugs.
He was a raging alcoholic.
He was a little less so when he had weed.
And when I was younger? I lumped weed with all of his other vices, they were all bad... But I was stupid back then.
I'm still fucking stupid.
But I know it wasn't weed that caused the violence. It was ALWAYS the alcohol.
Editing to add:
January 24th, 2023 was my last drink. I still smoke weed when I can. But my life has been so much better without alcohol.

Omfg....
So back in december the doctor was like "you have high blood pressure and high cholesterol"
They slapped me with bp and cholesterol meds.
Im doing a dab and the wife goes "you know that effects your blood pressure..."
Fine, whatever fuck life... i quit eating salty, sugar, fatty foods and quit smoking cause now my goal is to not be on blood pressure meds or a statin.
Then sometime in february or march im cleaning up, i find some gummies and think these ain't shit... i never get a head change from gummies.
Before stopping i could eat 200, 300, 400mg and nothing...
So i eat whatever is in the bag like 100mg in one sitting expecting nothing to happen.
Oh no... not this time... i was dehydrated, haven't eaten since the day before and a hour later i though i was having a stroke.
And turned into the girl in this commercial... fuck way up out of my mind.
And now i dont like smoking anymore, don't enjoy the high like i use to.
I guess on the bright side i have a lot of disposable income now that im not blowing $500+/month on concentrates.

u/Ice_Cream_Killer Aug 24 '26
Funny enough, THIS is how I felt after I was prescribed opioids after a surgery I had a decade ago. A completely legal drug from a doctor. I would wake up and pop a pill to take away the pain, smoke a cigarette and just relax in my office chair for the next 3-4 hours doing nothing but watch videos. It felt so relaxing. Just taking deep breaths felt amazing.
After a while I realized I was getting addicted, so I started smoking weed again to break my addiction. I smoked so much weed that it curved my addiction for the pills after I healed up and didnt experience pain anymore. Weed even helped me stop smoking cigarettes, and then I stopped smoking weed. That's when I realized these ads were bs propaganda, because weed never made me feel as worthless and dangerously relaxed as those pills did. I could feel how easy it was to overdose because your muscles could become too relaxed to function properly.

Recently had a THC infused drink over the weekend, I've just learned I don't think THC is for me. I had a similar experience to the pic and I will say, not enjoyble. Couldn't keep a coherent sentence in my head, barely could walk, and just felt on the edge of feeling queasy and not. Probably was the dose amount, but didn't notice anything after trying a 50 mg version.
I'm pretty sober on most everything else, probably didn't help doing 100 mg. More power to people who like it, I just don't think its for me.

Have you tried just smoking? Eating/drinking it is a much more intense experience for me. I smoked daily for 10 years took a break and then had a few gummies one night by myself.

I will partake in lsd/mushrooms/molly pretty much anything nowadays but I absolutely will not eat edible cannabis lol.

I think you're right on both accounts. I overused thc and it seriously negatively impacted my life. It was easier quitting drinking than THC - I think because socially we're told you can't get addicted to weed, can't OD on weed, so it's supposed to be "safe". Maybe it is for some people, but it certainly wasn't for me.
