So the muscle relaxing and pain relief that I experienced on Friday night was really my mind telling me that the 4 or 5 tokes I took on my pipe was in fact me just imagining that I was relaxed.
That would explain why I didn’t get the munchies, hallucinate and giggle uncontrollably.
I’m not saying that at all. It did the same for me. The problem for me was that I lost all motivation to do much of anything even long after I quit. As with any drug, it’s about being mature enough to handle it. Some people, esp. those of us with addictive personalities, cannot manage their consumption and get consumed themselves. That was my problem. Being clean and sober for many years now has been the key to my personal salvation.
I don’t begrudge anyone who wants to use the stuff, and if measures are taken to legalize it through legislation and not using cute tricks like they tried to do in Florida by using a Constitutional amendment to pass it, I’m all for it being legal.
