Raw dogging that shit is not what matters but looking at what you care for can help in any case.
Our governments, media and sadly often enough the people around you try to convince you that nothing can be done. Wrong. There are people everywhere around the world bringing positive change to their communities, even if it won’t do any systematic change over night or at all.
Our governments will crumble and our society will change and i am convinced that this will bring us all closer together. Don’t let hateful bots tell you otherwise.
It sucks. Can confirm.
No smoke, no pills, no sip, no nothing. I don’t recommend it.
I don’t have any meds or smoke or anything like that… but every now and then… every month or two I take like 6-7g of magic mushroom and goto fucking space.
Medication is too expensive. Booze is cheap.
Weed is cheaper.
Heathcare tied to my parents, don’t have a license to drive, scared of public transit (too many people and weirdos/criminals and also I’m afraid ICE is gonna start raiding busses and I’m not white). And my mother don’t trust medications.
Again, can’t go to therapist. Don’t have time/money.
Arguably won’t be that helpful anyway
Medication? In this economy?
So I kind of wonder what would happen if a country just decided to ignore all patents and copyrights one day. Like just gathered all the intel they could on making all the medications out there, spin up a factory making their generic version then just only used those moving forward for their country. Maybe even selling it to other countries as well if there is demand. Clearly companies would be pissed because it would undercut their profits but what can they really do. Sueing them only works if the country cares to pay, and I don’t see many people wanting to go to war with another country because they brought the costs of medication down.
They’d have to get other governments to try to sanction them, but if my options were to sanction a country, or buy medications at a much lower price thereby bringing down healthcare costs and increasing access to healthcare for our population… Maybe enough countries would just let it go and other countries would join in on making their own ignoring the patents as well.
You basically described China
Many countries do that. Countries like India have limited patent protection. It’s why medications are so cheap there.
The “free market” was always a lie in America
Literally how the generic pharma industry works. Companies specialising in generics often push against the limits of IP and/or ignore them to bring cheap generics to market, and deal with lawsuits (or not) later. See Israel, India, and Switzerland.
Just under 1 year and 9 months sober. Its pretty tough rn
Not going to lie, it’s pretty rough, I’m currently between jobs too… a double whammy of unpleasant awareness.

Maybe gaming is a way of self medication.
I don’t take any meds, do any recreational drugs, or drink caffeine. My horse, on the other hand, is very high.
That is such a good joke, props to you :P
I’ve never drink alcohol or taken any drugs in my life.
Later years have me seriously looking how to buy weed and considering taking it because they say it’s good for anxiety. Sadly is not legal here and I’m too asocial to even know people who smoke it.
don’t do drugs alone.
drugs can be fine🤷 - but alone it can just make shit way worse; especially modern weed’s got way too much thc (which increases anxiety) and too little cdb (which decreases anxiety)
Grow your own and it won’t be as strong. 🇳🇱
Homegrown and amateurly cured weed will have more CBD in ratio to the THC which take the edge off, much better than expertly grown stuff imho
Good advice, thanks! I’m still in a “studying pros and cons phase”.
If you decide to go ahead with it then remember the two most important things for a good experience: (mind)set and setting.
It’s important to be in the right headspace and in a place you feel comfortable with. When you’re more experienced this can be applied more loosely but for early experiments it’s very important.

yeah that seems like a good rule for recreational use. mine is more “treat it like a damn prescription, keep track of how much and how often you’re using because you’re a nerd and kind of like doing that stuff but also to see if there are significant changes, and try to minimize use” because if i don’t wake and bake, one or two of my organs misfire. also i like spreadsheets and datasets it works great for me.
I’m going to disagree and say definitely try weed alone if you think it’ll help. It probably will. You can dip your toes in slowly. I started smoking and it REALLY, REALLY helped keep me going to the gym regularly, because it made the music, etc…so much better that it just kept things interesting. Among other benefits (helps with pain, anxiety, etc…).
I’ve never done any drugs or alcohol or anything in my life. I’m in a lot of pain and life is miserable but I have no desire to put poison into my body either.
Mate, I’m going to urge to to try cannabis gummies. Your body actually has natural cannabinoid receptors that help regulate your mood and pain management. Cannabinoids are 100% natural. I wouldn’t recommend smoking, because I feel you on trying to avoid poisons and such, but cannabis is such an amazing and natural pain reliever for chronic pain. It’s also anti-inflammatory so it helps massively for burns, bites, scrapes, etc. It can also help boost your mood.
If your worried about “getting high”, CBD gummies do the same thing but minimize the psychoactive THC from the mix. Let me know if you have any questions.
Oh yeah I’m a massage therapist. We use CBD ointment every day. So I’ve got that on my skin and going through my bloodstream apparently.
Bummer to hear that your still constantly in pain then. :/
I’ve used it for joint and back issues and it’s absolutely been a game changer for me. Helped with a couple pretty bad burns as well.
Anyways, good luck. Hope you find something that works.
Jesus?
