When I was young, smoking pot was fun. In the mid-80s, I started getting really anxious and paranoid when I was high. I don’t know if the dope changed or if I did, but it wasn’t fun anymore, so I quit. Now that I’m retired and drug tests are a thing of the past, I suppose I could try it again, but I’m really not interested.

The last few years I also seem to have lost interest in drinking, though I drank quite a bit back in the day. I can if I want to, I just don’t want to. Maybe every few months I’ll have a beer or a rum & coke.

Getting old, I guess.

Yeah, getting old…same here. Smoking grass would make me paranoid, too. That’s why I quit. I’m better off for it. I stopped drinking because I was diagnosed with cirrhosis.It wasn’t from drinking-I have autoimmune diseases that destroyed my liver. Luckily I received a new one 4 years ago. I don’t drink because the meds I take are not compatible with alcohol. It’s a good thing, I feel better every morning, but I do miss that nice glass of red wine every now and then. It’s a small price to pay.🙂👍
