I have smoked and eaten (accidentally, brownies) marijuana several times in younger years. Every single time I became psychotic. Frightening. Maybe it’s just my biology but pot, for me, is a dangerous drug.
It took years to realize how insidious alcohol use can creep on ones entire mindset and learn to combat it. Marijuana is nothing compared to that force. Yet nothing can't be overcome with will and God's help.
I'd advise avoid AA meetings. So depressing they made me want to drink.
I use it topically for arthritis. It’s a mix of CBD and THC. It actually works. We made brownies from this year’s crop but if you eat them at night, you are asleep before they kick in.
I have a friend who gets mean when she gets high so her husband forbid it. I just get catatonic and sleep. CBD has been a miracle worker for me for sleep and it doesn’t have a mind effect.
