had some bad mental health issues following prolonged use. Find I can enjoy it every now and then - will maybe buy a little bit once every three months and leave it at that.

I know a few people who attribute serious mental health issues to weed. without exception, these people started smoking around 13, moving on to things like ketamine and other psychedelics in their late teens.

yeah i knew loads of people at school like this, bright kids who completely fucked it on hard stuff. they used to have these pills called “chikas” or something, think they were Es and speed mixed together. couple of them used to bang them and go to school, we’re talking year 8, 9. so fucked up.

If we legalise it there goes any hope of ending the UK’s productivity crisis

Current habits?

  • I buy and smoke weed regularly.
  • I enjoy it on occasion
  • Couple of times a year
  • Used to smoke but have stopped
  • Never touched it

Yep. The stuff you get now is just mental. I pretty much stopped fairly young after living in Utrecht for a few months and losing my marbles a few too many times. Still dabble very occasionally but man, you need to be so careful.

Last time I smoked it was after a few beers and a friend produced a joint rolled in a small Rizla. I took a few puffs then hopped in my cab home. I nodded off, then woke up with no idea of where I was and seriously thought I’d been abducted by people smugglers. Was 'orrible.

Woke up the next morning and remembered my mate had popped another joint of it in my shirt pocket. Considered destroying it, but popped it in a drawer and totally forgot about it 'til we had some friends over for dinner. Suggested we shared it after we’d eaten and everyone got quite excited, apart from one fella who said “Oh whaaat, that’s tiny!”. He proceeded to take about 5 lung busting pulls on it, then promptly went all quiet and had to go home.

prevalent in bar industry too, to have coke lined up regularly by the bar back for the bartenders to do when on their way for a pee or a break.

Same.

i’ve come close to going off the deep end a few times due to MH, but what happened back in april genuinely scared me because i was in a good place, with my GF, chilling at home when it happened. we’d had a nice bbq and i sparked up and bang, the world just fell in on my head. my mind wasn’t just racing, it was raving at me. i could almost feel it buckling. my gf kept making me coffees and playing me songs i like, bless her, until i started to return to earth and sober up a bit. went to the pub that night and it was bleak af, i wasn’t stoned but i was really unsettled, and for the week after i couldn’t sleep, very jumpy, very depressed too.

edit: later found out from my dealer that other people had reported the same effects to him, he’s actually a nice guy so he felt really guilty, promised not to sell that strain anymore.

but yeah, eternal fuck to the 'roid weed, gimme the nice hash or grass any time.

actually i just realised i had a drag or two on a joint this couple offered us on the way home after flight of the conchords at leeds arena, this will have been in may. i was very apprehensive but this was actually a very chill experience, happy and funny walk back to the flat, me and the gf watched some movie or another. that must have been the sweet thai weed!

This is normal chef behaviour.

Smoked hash from fourteen to eighteen and gave it up then. Was the least productive human on Earth during that time.

Have smoked now and then since but never more than a few tokes and mostly as a social thing. Would never take it back up full time, have zero interest. I enjoy my cognitive functions a bit too much.

I tried it as a teenager but never got anything from it/was probably doing something wrong.

I have too many MH issues already that I don’t need to add something in the mix that may make me more bad thoughty.

An old housemate would smoke almost every day after work and all day at weekends. I’d very occasionally join in, we’d watch shitty films and order too much pizza, but was never keen on how it made me feel after a few hours so generally avoided it.

Only really smoke now after nights out when I need to get to sleep, or the next day to help stave off a come down.

Similar approach to cigarettes.
