I personally am in a phenomenally stable polyamorous relationship. I've been married to my wife for 12 years, and she has had the same boyfriend for about half of that time. It's a really fulfilling arrangement for all of us in various ways. We're all genuinely happy and satisfied. I'm kind of casually looking for a boyfriend of my own.

But I feel like I only hear negative stories about other poly experiences. It's always unstable people and situations. It's always two out of three people happy at most. Surely there are other success stories out there, and I just hear the disasters because they're more memorable and fun to tell. Does anyone else have or know a polyamory success story?

EDIT: This blew up a little while I was asleep. I promise I'm at least reading every comment.

EDIT 2.0: ngl I did not expect the trope of polyamory to fix a struggling relationship would be so real. We did just the opposite and are both baffled. Don't use volitility to fight the volitility.

It has been brought to my attention by several coworkers that most of them find cannabis--thc specifically--makes time go much faster for them. The day flies by compared to normal. I'm just the opposite. Any amount of thc stretches time to its limits. It makes the day feel so, so long. Even a little bit of H4CBD has me in the time tunnel. I feel like I'm gonna be here forever. I'm curious if I'm in as much a minority in the grand scheme of things as I am in this building.

He was investigating.

So they all work well. The Squeezes are unfortunately bitter, but they're a good deal per mg. The Lemon Lime isn't too bad in some lemon Sprite. The Stiribles are perfect. They add zero flavor and dissolve into flat liquids beautifully. I had some mixed with a Seltzer recently and couldn't taste it. They hit faster than normal edibles. A lot of people report feeling like they hit harder than the number suggests, but I think they just prefer that sort of high. Personally I prefer the feel of normal edibles. They're supposed to work better for people with low amounts of the enzyme that converts THC, but I can't speak to that personally. They're definitely a fun addition to my alchemy cabinet.

Basically what it says on the can: why do you use weed? Are you a purely recreational user? Do you use for medical purposes, with or without a prescription? Do you use for a mental health condition? We're all probably some blend of these. What's your use case?

Personally, I do use cannabis medicinally to help me sleep. Neither weed nor melatonin cuts it alone, but weed and quick dissolve melatonin is just the right thing. I also use for recreational purposes. It's just fun to do things stoned. I also use heavily for religious/spiritual reasons. I'm a Discordian, and keeping a flexible mind full of doubt is important to that. Weed is helpful in resisting the siren call of comforting certainty. As a casual psychedelic, it keeps me thinking in interesting ways.

I love this thing. I wanted a Volcano for years. It feels like both science and magic at the same time. I can put enough flowers into me to be as stoned as I need to be without the gross respiratory effects. I've always struggled to use flowers through the winter months when holiday anxiety redoubles my weed need. Between this and my employee discount, I bet I can avoid my traditional holiday season drinking. If I can manage that, it'll have paid for itself twice. It was expensive af, but I paid for $200 of it with a gift card I got from a sales competition. So far it has been 100% worth it.

In a very different direction from my other Halloween submission, Iris Marlowe! She's the best spooky lesbian cowgirl you've ever heard. She has a heart of metal and a lot of talent. And she's a pretty cool person too, has some cute rabbits. This is my go to fuck shit up song right now. I listen to it on my walk to work a lot.

clipping. goes hard as fuck. They're most recent two albums are horror themed. I've been listening to them seasonally. This is one of my favorites, but both albums are phenomenal, overwhelming.

I often have a lot of detailed, nifty things to say about music I listen to. I only have complex, hard to communicate feelings about Little Mazarn. This is from their new EP, Honey Island General Store, maybe my favorite of the lot, but I've only had it for a day. I was so excited when I opened Spotify for something totally different and saw the new release. I hope Lindsey's Austin residency continues to be this productive.

Little Mazarn, my heart, my love. I'm not sure how to exactly express how I feel about Little Mazarn. They're a guaranteed religious experience every time for me. I'm aware that they can have an incredibly niche sound, but I am moved deeply every time. This placid, perfect rendition of an old folk song brings me joy and serenity. They have a new EP out, Honey Island General Store,

and I've decided to share here in celebration. I promise this isn't marketing. I'm just a genuine adherent.

Do I have more gay country music? Yes, yes I do. Iris Marlowe is cool as shit. She's incredibly versatile. She has fire and brimstone numbers that devolve into heavy metal guitar solos. She has fun, high energy romps. She has sincere love songs and solemn contemplations. She has an annual series of Halloween thrmed covers that's about to get a new entry. She's one of the musicians I'm most excited to see the future of.

I'm gonna keep bringing lesbian country to Lemmy because holy shit I love gay country. Melissa Carper has a voice that can melt me and an awkward confidence I can't resist. She's the master of the brand new old time song, routinely funny, and I will love her forever.

In honor of the decline of the southern accent. S.G. Goodman is phenomenal, the sound that lured me into and drowned me in lesbian country. Space and Time can still make me lose my balance
