The "never have I ever" comments got me thinking.. for the people who have never tried cannabis: would you consider trying it if it were legal for recreational use, and you could just go to a shop and buy it in any form.. smoke, vape, edibles?

No. Living with someone who has used daily since they were in their teens, hell no. It's not as harmless as people think, especially long term use.

I’m not a never, but a not in over 20 years. Don’t care for the smell and can’t be bothered with the shenanigans of illegality. Would 100% try some sort of pain/sleep gummy.

Ditto & also wouldn’t mind gummies for same reasons

No. Not only is cannabis not good for migraineurs it's also bad for people who have had cptsd with disassociation. Psychiatrists have told me.

Weed was absolutely a gateway drug for me. People who say otherwise have a very narrow and pampered view of that world.

I'd try it to see how it works with my crazy brain as long I don't need to jump through hoops and I also don't have to smoke or inhale it. Can't be that much worse than alcohol (which I don't have much of either because it doesn't do much for me, but might have a glass or two socially). I mean if it could help my mental health or I could use it to safely relax after stressful days I'd certainly want to try it

I don't think I'd get anything done. Having it readily available to everyone would probably have our streets a bit more quieter but on the other hand teenagers would be doing more dumb dumb things in stolen automobiles.

it's bad for teenagers, proof of link with schizophrenia

[–] useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 4 points 5 months ago

That explains the voices.

Nope. Maybe possibly in 30 years when I'm retired?
