on/off usage and its affects

[Oz]

Just wondering do you use spin/tobacco in the mix when you smoke?

[Faith]

Yes Oz I reckon  tobacco has an huge effect on irritability even if you smoke without spin but are a smoker. Ya wanna be smoking something to get the nico but our brains get the two diff kinds of smoking mixed up if that makes any sense... When I am smoking tobacco regularly (usually these days as some kind of wishful placebo when I have no canna-meds ) My patience goes and I find things get under my skin more often. It could be the nicotine withdrawal?

Peace to ya Belle. v

Different strokes for different folks.

For myself, smoking buds from dealers as opposed to smoking your own, is a big factor.

It comes down to the quality, dealer's buds are always skanky around here. You either get rock hard, tastless crap or stringy, immature crap. Either way, quality is poor. And I dare say with little or no medicinal value, it's only value is monetary, and no smoker benefits.

This is depressing, even before you smoke it.

Homegrown, on the other hand, is pure joy:-) Ripe, fat colas, dripping in trichs and pungent with aroma. And FREE!

Just watching them grow is medicine for the soul! The anticipation the week before harvest is uplifting for the spirit, and the trimming of your dry bud is nirvana!

All this without smoking.................... Ain't nothing bad about cannabis at all.

If you find yourself feeling depressed or ill when you don't have canna, plant a seed:-)

Sorry I can't offer any relevant experience to the original post, but I have smoked Canna, everyday for the past twenty six years, and will continue to do so for the next twenty six, give or take a few. Only difference I have made since when I first started is I now self supply. Donated enough of my hard earned to those who don't give a rats arse, and am more than happy with my lot, now.

I'll chime in and support the view that most dealer weed I can get tends to mess me up a heck of a lot more than home grown, especially when taking a break.

 

For me, I'm usually free of most ill effects 3-4 days after stopping an everyday habit. Physically I'll come good pretty quick but I do have the most vivid and crazy dreams for like 2-3 weeks after stopping. It's probably worth stopping just for that ride, but not all dreams can be pleasant. Now I think about it, I wonder if its just that I can remember the dreams during that period? Hmmmm.........

Before us stoners start self diagnosing ourselves with depression or Canna related issues, we should first step back and make sure that we are not surrounding ourselves with assholes:-)
