Hey! Bored and thought this could be fun. As I've said above I smoke cannabis daily, Have done for years. Only in the evening. I'm a mum and my DH does too. If anyone has any questions ask away :-)

This hallucinogenic type you mention, sounds more like spice to be honest.

I've never done spice but from what I understand it's nothing like MDMA. it knocks you out. I'm referring more to the buzzy trips strains like amnesia haze (if that's still a thing) or durban poison which is imported

Because she likes it? Because it’s a way of relaxing? Because actually, if you go gently it’s a nice feeling? Much like everyone who has a glass of wine to take the edge off their day.

The naivety on this forum about drugs is astounding. There are far more people doing it than you’d think - teachers, doctors, lawyers. And let’s not even get started on coke.

Your response is quite aggressive in tone and as I said, I don't care either way. It was a general question for understanding. For comparison, other people smoke as a way to relax but if you quit for a period of time, what would be the benefits to restarting? That was my idea behind the question not as an attack

I wasn’t being aggressive at all, just giving suggestions about why she might not want to give up. Chill.

Unfortunately spice does indeed make the users hallucinate. Perhaps not the first versions of synthetic cannabis, which I believe had the chemical compound most related to the effects of cannabis, and many young folk used when it was still classed being touted as 'legal high'. I have Unfortunately seen the effects and damage it does, especially moreso when the chemicals began to be changed, I suppose like anything it will effect each and everyone differently. The withdrawals similar to opiate withdrawal. The stuff is absolutely rife with the prison system also.

I'm personally not a fan of any 'hard' drugs, but I wouldn't deny anyone a spliff! Or indeed whatever else they might like to take! Also if drugs were regulated, like they have been in Portugal, that also goes for other types of drugs, unsurprisingly, crime has reduced, drug deaths have reduced and less money is being wasted. If adults in possession of their full faculties want or need to do something to forget about their cares for a bit so long as it doesn't directly affect anyone else, they should be allowed to legally, so long as while they're higher than a giraffes ears they don't cause any hassle for any other person! But obviously this is just my opinion.

Why?

Because that's not how addiction works. It is a daily habit. That implies dependency. The tobacco alone would have you craving another within an hour. If OP had the motivation required to resist that craving she wouldn't be a daily smoker. She's minimising.

pompypomppomp · 05/05/2023 10:52

@Smineusername as someone with experience doing this, you're wrong. It's possible to resist that urge, and do things in moderation

When I smoked cannabis I never smoked it with tobacco, just neat weed. I only ever had one spliff a night, no desire whatsoever to be stoned during the daytime, in the daytime I do my daytime things and being stoned would be a hindrance to that.
I just did it at night because it guaranteed that I would sleep well.
Now that I use edibles it's the same, I take a very carefully measured dose at the same time every evening.
I last gave up cannabis about 15 years ago, I just suddenly felt bored of being stoned every evening so I stopped using it, I had a couple of nights where I didn't sleep very well and then I was fine.
I started using it again during menopause because I had problems sleeping and cannabis is such a great solution to that problem.

Um, I don't think criminal gangs work like that lol. "Oh gosh, here's some ordinary punters who want to take our extraordinarily lucrative trade away from us. Welp. We won't commit horrdenous acts of violence to maintain our oligopoly tho. We'll just be kind and let them have it"

Nah not really 😂

The other issue I could see with legalisation is which strains to legalise. So many different ones these days. Sure you've still got the nice mellow stuff that made John and Yoko stay in bed for peace for ages. But you've also got the strains that make you hallucinate wildly, have terrible moodswings and are closer to MDMA in their effects (very scary when you're not expecting it). Probably not a good idea to legalise those strains but if there is a lucrative niche trade that's in the hands of a cross boder gang, and a private business comes along and tries to take on the less harmful strains....again I can see big problems there.

I do think that given the huge kick up in law enforcement and gang related activity / violence that would ensure in say the first two decades, that the tax take would not be a net benefit. Putting ordinary people at risk by telling them to grow their own would be even worse. I do think that the current policy of quiet decriminalisation and focus on the gangs trafficking drugs and people, is probably more the way to go.

How does the criminal gang know what I (theoretically) have growing in my wardrobe? I'm not going to tell them. I don't think they do lapsed customer marketing campaigns.

But they do. A dealer you haven’t used I. Ages will text saying “great tickets for tonight” or whatever. They are friendly, respectful, give freebies and absolutely do try and keep you in it.

I would never do spice or M-cat or any of those synthetic drugs. Just do the real thing, or nothing!

sure but they dont 'commit horrendous acts of violence' to keep customers, they focus on customer service so that they get good reviews on the platform/market place that they're using. No-ones going to come after you if you decide to grow your own weed!

ItsCalledAConversation · 05/05/2023 19:23

No, of course not. Unless you started growing enough to encroach significantly on their income I’m sure no one would care.

I think my viewpoint on this is incredibly privileged and middle class, by the way. All the dealers I’ve ever met have treated me like I’m their mum. I realise if my background, economic status or probably my race was different my experience would be very different too.

RocketIceLollie · 08/05/2023 11:23

Have you not got bored of smoking yet?

I used to smoke weed all the time too but got to a point where I just became bored of it.

Linaostra · 12/10/2023 13:02

That's interesting! I know some folks who use cannabis for relaxation, too. It's great that you're keeping it to evenings and being responsible about it. I also suggest you use nice bongs from thickassglass to enjoy it even more; it hits harder. How do you find it helps you unwind after a busy day?

Uttercleg · 11/05/2024 19:52

My goodness, but the judgement! Ironically, cannabis would ABSOLUTEY help with most of the posters replying to your post. So sail on, ignore the nonsense from the posters and keep on having a good life. My advice? Not that you want it (but other people might benefit) is to educate young people - delay ANY consumption 'till the age of 26 - it's not for young minds. After that, moderation is key - it can be powerful.

Cattyisbatty · 14/05/2024 11:08

Of course it stinks, you are v much in denial if you think it doesn’t. Do you keep your kids’ windows closed in the summer while you’re in the garden?
