That THC is helping with a whole fuck ton of problems and got me off the daily liquor.

THC seems like the only thing that's ever stood up to my executive dysfunction.

Lucky, THC just makes my ADHD worse (but I can't sleep without it). I need a heavy stimulant to get anything done, and because my tolerance shoots up so fast, I can't take any stims more than once or twice a month or they stop working entirely. So basically I'm a useless blob 28-30 days out of the month. Kratom helps with the depression and anxiety but it doesn't motivate me.

There's a butter zone to being able to get shit done and eating an entire bag of chips in one sitting.

I almost never get the munchies unless I've been drinking too. Most of the time a 0.2g in a dry herb vape and I'm ready to rock.

Thc gave me the ability to choose what I want to focus on, and it feels like a superpower.
