            I disliked the effects of weed back when it was illegal (Canada); just made me paranoid. Our legalization of recreational marijuana helped me understand that weed is more than THC. (Anything I’d have smoked back in the 90s was probably crazy amounts of sole THC.)

            Legalization has allowed me to experiment with CBD levels. Now I get a 1:2 ratio of THC:CBD and it’s a completely different thing. I’m relaxed, smiley, glued to the couch and off of Benzos. (I like Mango Haze.)

            I know it’s not for everyone, and I’m not a pusher, but I thought I’d mention that CBD is a game changer. (There is CBG now too.)

      Yes, but… speaking from experience, it is definitely possible to overdo it on that angle. The psychological impacts of heavy long term use are… shall we say, unsubtle, but at the same time, REALLY hard to admit and see for yourself if you’re in the throes of it.

      Moderation and T-breaks are frankly pretty crucial.
