Your story is about the same as me only it was a couple years later.Somewhere around Kona Gold, Thai sticks and really high strains of homegrown pot turned me in to a zombie. It wasn’t fun, and I’d get very inhibited. Cannabis never made me smarter.
I’ve heard the THC levels of the new weed are a few times higher.
I lasted until around 1982. It might have been the stronger stuff, or it might just have been me, but I’d get very anxious and self-conscious whenever I’d smoke. It wasn’t fun any more, so that was that.
I might try it again after I retire and am no longer subject to random drug testing, or I might not.
