Being undiagnosed ADHD and from my many years of habitual use I've found a small dose does wonders for my focus and concentration, but it's so easy to go past that and edibles have never done much for me to more precisely work out an ideal dosage that doesn't leave me too fuzzy.
just be careful, it is an addictive substance and dependency on it, while not in the league of alcohol or benzos, is not pretty or fun. im autistic and have smoked for like 10 years, a good portion of the last 5 was severe dependency levels that i justified by saying its self medicating but really it was doing me far more harm than good. it totally rocks if you're not prone to addiction/are able to manage it though. not meaning to be a buzzkill just a word of warning. glad it's helping you all the same!
There was a point in my 20s I got a bronchial infection because my tolerance was so high I was probably averaging a couple dozen bong rips a day.
Yes to the first three for me but after prolonged use it died down after a while and no to the last one my memory goes to shit when I smoke. One of the benefits I noticed from being off it now for two months is I can suddenly remember random shit from years ago now.
it makes me more linguistically perceptive but i also lose all ability to handle humans i don't know well. "oh thank god i can still understand this material" i say after someone with weed drops by - "oh thank god i don't just suck at art all the time" I think - and then I sober up and it's like the cannabinoid insight is gone
also lets me disassociate from my feelings and stuff less, which is generally good. usually.
Pssst. You ever mix your thc flower with cbd flower?
no, why?
i strongly recommend it, it's become the only way i consume anymore, it feels way more medicinal and rooted in the body AND mind while still retaining the psychoactive effects. i feel way less "hungover" afterwards too if that makes sense. i do a 1:1 or sometimes even 2:1 or 3:1 cbd leaning ratio. i also use a dry herb vape instead of smoking another recommendation you actually taste the terpenes and ingest more % of cannabinoids
There are also cool 1:1 or 1:2 strains out there
with the right (small-ish usually) dose
Key point here lol
I can’t enjoy weed anymore like I used to. I’m either anxious beyond belief or staring at the wall
It does nothing to me in small doses, suddenly is completely debilitating when I try to step it up. It only relieved my pain the first time I had it, and ever since it has had a very faint effect on pain. It's too bad.
My creative process is getting high and thinking of things that make me laugh and then making those things real.
weed does nothing to me. i tried it three times
Until you get enough to feel very very sleepy. Exercise is my drug of choice. Well, that and amphetamine.
It's ADHD, Autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, aspd, etc etc etc etc
“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”
So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we're concerned
1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them
2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence
2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals
3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven't personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you're ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another's, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who's experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm'd.
3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith
4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!
