Welcome to Cannabis School. I'm your host, Jesse Angeles. And I'm Brandon Elder. And we're here to talk to you about everything pertaining to cannabis from vape, flower, edibles, strains, and everything in between. Well, welcome back to another one O 1. We're going to talk about something that's pretty personal. And really important.
I think so. It's something that some cannabis users may feel, and this is might sound strange, but they may feel embarrassed to talk about because they've got such a strong affinity to it that they don't want to look like a pussy, you know what I mean? Because we've talked to people, they're like, no, you should just ride it out. Ride out the uncomfortable feeling. Yeah. Just just go through it. Just go through it.
Experience it anyway. Yeah, that's and that kind of reminds me of kind of how you were when you were first really getting into cannabis, like that kind of was pressed on you. Well, I also didn't know any better. There wasn't like, hey, I didn't have the understanding of take nine parts CBD to one part THC utilize, end use or these other things that can really help manage that experience.
Yeah, offset it and and today what we're talking about is, you know, reconsidering your relationship with cannabis. Re evaluating what that relationship looks like. And it's not necessarily saying, you know, you should stop or you should increase, but and, and we've talked about tea breaks and I'm going to go into a tea break that I just recently did.
And and it wasn't, you know, we've talked about this on the podcast before is actually when we started this podcast, I had come off of a real bad episode of panic attacks for almost a solid month. Oh yeah, you remember. And that was Bubba Kush that kind of ignited it. But there was other other factors, underlying factors, right? And now I just came through I it's been 7 days off of cannabis. This is going to be my first time using cannabis.
I'm using the Air Vapes Legacy Pro steampunk edition. It's pretty cool. It's like copper Levi and some yeah. Just like a piece of leather. Yeah, leather on it too, but it's. Really cool, like see how it opens, right? It just kind of opens like a coffin. Clicks. It's really cool style. It heats up super fast. And you get the full temperature control on there as well. So you can control degree by a degree. And that was my first puff off
cannabis in a week. And the reason why is, is that I got sick. And then after I was sick, I started to feel a little bit different, a bit more anxious. And then it got really bad. And then I started having debilitating panic attacks. And during that time I tried cannabis, like when I was having the panic attacks, I tried it and it got worse. Yeah, it wasn't doing what it
normally would. Do no, it was, it was really affecting me. And so that's kind of what we want to talk about today is that there are times when you are using cannabis that maybe taking a little bit of break from it will allow you to be able to reset 'cause this is something I don't want to get out of. My mind, maybe it's not the at that moment in life. Maybe it's not the right tool for what it is that you're needing to address at the
moment, right? And even though it can be a amazing tool for so many moments and so many people, it might not always be the perfect tool for every situation, for every person. It's where I think that people have a kind of a misconception, 'cause I hear some people like I'm going to get on cannabis to help with my anxiety and I believe it can help with anxiety, but there are times where it is so strong that taking this could actually make
it worse. Yeah, I could perpetuate or push that anxiety over the edge and cause panic attacks 'cause these experiences that are so horrible that it really freaks you out. Now The thing is, is I've had real bad panic attacks taking too much cannabis. There was a time where I had taking cannabis and remember that time we talked about where I drove home or I had way too much here and on the road.
I was in straight panic mode. Got home, called you and you're like dude, put a bunch of CBD underneath your tongue. You should be good in about 1/2 hour, hour. And I did that and it helped a lot. However, this was way different and this has a lot to do with life. I am a type 2 diabetic and I've been working really hard to get it under control. You probably seen on the podcast I've been a little heavier and slowly losing weight and that has been really good for me.
My blood sugars are extremely high. To tell you what high is, it's high 3 hundreds, low 4 hundreds. Some are listening, going IBM, the ER. It gave me a headache. That's it. It didn't do much as far as that was concerned. Then then I'm getting down into the high one hundreds into the mid one hundreds down down to like 90 where it's normal. And my body had this big fluctuation in that and it changes like my heart rate and it causes a lot of stress.
And because of that, I've been having pretty frequent panicky moments because of the blood sugar change and. Such a drastic fluctuation for anything you're. Used to and on top of that, like I had a close friend of mine, he'd tell me he just suffered a major heart attack. He suffered a major heart attack. Like I don't understand that like it he's he's a little older than me and he's having a heart attack. Like I was like fuck. So that really got me.
So today I am smoking on a strain that we'll review later on Cereal Milk. And he's he's been re evaluating his relationship with cannabis over the last little bit, I'd say not even necessarily. No, I've been re evaluating. Just last week, but like looking at 'cause it's been in a discussion of the last, I feel month probably of constantly looking at it going man, am I using too much?
Am I using too often? Am I doing this like so it's it's a constant re evaluation and sometimes, like we were talking on the phone before this, like that's probably a good idea to do is to re evaluate your relationship with cannabis every 30 days. Doesn't mean that's a tea break, doesn't mean that that's change in dosing, but it's looking at what your consumption is. Has it changed? Why has it changed? You know, is it situational? Is it stress, anxiety, whatever? Is it pain?
Is it, you know, a flare up in whatever condition that you have or you know, is it the increase in the amount of times you use a day? Is it increase in dose that you use and looking at it and going do I need that? Can can I do less? But at the same time, for medical users, no other medication, you'd go cold Turkey, so it would make sense to taper down. But even then, though, that's kind of something wanted wanted
to talk about. And I told you because I thought that a tea break helps to be able to kind of get rid of certain things. But I, I kind of feel like it's bullshit because The thing is, is I didn't have any withdraw feelings whatsoever. And, and to be very clear, I am a habitual user of cannabis. I was smoking four to six times a day, whether it's a vaporizer, a bong, or a pipe. I was smoking frequently and it was from morning until night.
And that's exactly what Brandon had talked about is that now I'm wondering like, if I'm consuming a lot more, maybe there's something else going on. And that was some of the precursors of telling my body like, hey, you're, you're doing a lot more than you normally do. And it's starting to catch up now. Even though I just smoked this, I'm feeling OK. I'm feeling. Very. It's a nice little chill. It's such a great hybrid. It is a good experience.
And then we'll talk more about it on a, on a review. But to be honest, it was just it, it wasn't like I was worried like I'm not ever going to be able to use cannabis again. What I was thinking was is maybe I'm using it too often and maybe I need to be a little bit more choosy about when as opposed to I'm bored or I just need something to feel anything other than I'm feeling right now. And that's, that's kind of what
I wondered too. And I look at that and these last couple days with some of the discussions we had, that's really been a thought in my mind is like, OK, when I go to use, why am I using it? Am I using it because I'm in pain? And I'm like, hey, I need to like I'm trying to take some of that edge of the paint off. Am I feeling stressed? And if I am like, what's causing that stress? Is it something that I can address and remove that stress or like, you know, looking at it
from that aspect. But I I've not been perfect with that, but it's been something I've been trying to incorporate more because you know, what is the purpose of it? It's the intent behind it. Well, and you shouldn't beat yourself up about it either. You know, if you are using more, it could be a sign that you are in one pain. You're in a lot of pain. And it absolutely like when I'm in a lot of pain, I will use that. If my stomach is upset, if I have intestinal problems, I will
take that. It's way better than anything else. It truly is. It's and that's one thing. But like we'd said, like, you know, do we smoke it when we play? Hell yeah. Because we're having fun. We play, you know, we play video games if we do disc golf, yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. But I was finding myself using it like I'm going to go to the grocery store and I'll load up a bowl and take it with me and I'm going to bring enough for me to bring it on the way home.
I'll go to work. I wouldn't do it before work. After work, I'd be driving home. I'd be token on my little vaporizer, right? Or on a pen or I would stop by the dispo to pick up a pen because I just had to have something on me. I had my pen in my pocket all the time. I mean, I do. I always. I know cannabis with me. But The thing is, is like, if it's with me, I'm I'm just using it constantly. Like I don't stop using it. And we've talked about pens are candy if it's in your.
Pocket easy to do. Oh yeah. So I feel like if I bring a vaporizer instead and a little thing of flour, I'm way less likely to just pull it out. It's more way more intentional. Oh, yeah. When I'm carrying my vaporizer, and usually those are I'm hurting and this is a yeah, no, I need I need this because I hurt really bad. And this is just going to help take that edge out. But otherwise, like it really is with pens. Pens are just that habitual candy. It's in my pocket.
When you're talking this morning, you're like, yeah, Nah, mention something about a pen. I was like, and I went and I took my pen out of my pocket because it had been in my pocket all morning long and I had puffed on it several times around the house. And I'm like, I wouldn't have done that if like if it was my vaporizer, I wouldn't have gone and loaded it up and done that several times. Nope. It would have been way more. But my, because my pen was there and it's convenient and it's
accessible. I just pull it out and it's like, OK, cool, take a puff. Well, why? Well, I'm just doing stuff, so it's OK, but I could do stuff without puffing on that. Yeah, and and also to kind of think about the pens like when you're doing with disties compared to a live rosin or live resin pen, I find that the disties make me more panicky to get my and I mean, even though they feel really good too, I'm going to be wrong. That's what I got into cannabis really with was.
But these were like so the biggest common one at the time. Well, and, and they it was cool, Yeah. Like how it was convenient. Seriously, for like every, for someone who is trying to get into it where your spouse doesn't know or your partner doesn't know or your parents
don't know, that's way easy. It was the easiest way and it was like, OK, well, you can try and do this, figure out, see if it works because sometimes it's really hard to have that discussion before you even know if it does anything for you. Totally. And, and you don't realize the smell of how strong it is to, because like even my wife had said sometimes she's like, you know, we we'd had a discussion kind of a semi argument about my usage.
And she's like, I don't like it that you come in smelling like, like burnt flour all the time, because I'd always duck out to the garage and, and get my pipe or get my little NJ arsenal bomb. Yeah. And then, you know, load the ball and be like, oh man, did I just smoke that whole bowl by myself? And I go, that's not that bad. And then, but I, I mean, I usually do a smaller amount like the bowl you have now, it was
flush with the top. And for me, I, I typically don't smoke that much, but I was, and some of the things that I, I wanted to talk about that, you know, we, you may notice that you're having is that I enjoy more flour to to flame to flour. I know Brandon does. We talked about it, the experience, it sucks, but it's it's the best experience that you get. Yeah, it's way better. Better than the vaporizers? It's better than the edibles.
Better than disties, better than droppers, better than anything SO. And I was thinking about this yesterday because so I rolled a big fat joint and then I talked to you about it the other day that I was going to roll into the end of those joints, those carbon filters. How'd that go? It was amazing. It was a smooth, crazy joint. It didn't even feel like I was smoking a joint. Those are those same filters used off of the. Happy camper. Happy. Campers.
And I was like, holy cow. But it was still fame of flour removes a ton of the carcinogens because of that. And it was a really smooth experience. I'm like, OK, but there's other other things like that you can buy for your bongs. They're like Moose Labs is a company that makes these filters that go over all of these devices and help filter out a lot of the carcinogens.
So you still get the best experience, the best like and it's instant when you do flame to flower like I feel sometimes with the vaporizer it can be 1530 minutes to get the full ride up, Yeah. Like right now I'm feeling. It some flowers do that too. They settle in overtime, but it's for the most part the you're there, the experience is like cool, you're here. You might get a little bit of a rise, but most of it's like you're where you're going to be, I feel like. Oh yeah.
And it it just honestly like it's the best connection because you're getting all the terps, all that stuff into there. And I know you're getting in the vaporizer too. It just feels different. It's a slower onset. It the flavors are either more pronounced or kind of muted and they kind of just taste like like we used to say with the packs, they taste like. Like roasted peanuts. Which roasted peanuts is fine, but when I'm using cannabis, it's it's different. There's a connection.
This is something their ancestor did for a long time is being able to put flame to flower and enjoy that. But it was either, it was an enjoyment, whether it was pain meds, whether it was just a spiritual journey, whatever it is, he was able to experience it. And even right now being a week off, and This is why I kind of think that tea breaks are bullshit because I feel the same as I did before. I know that cereal milk is a
very chill strain. I won't go further than that because we'll talk about that more in a in a more dedicated episode. But you know, I am quite relieved to be honest because cannabis it, it's not something that has to be in my life. I want it to be in my life. And when it's not there certain things I'm out of sharp on. And that's funny because we talked about that, right?
They're like, oh, short term memory loss, like yeah, but I think it's just a bullshit filter 'cause there's just certain things that just don't care to know when I'm. Well, and it's it's really interesting because I see that so many people that I know who I know have never taken any prescription medications has that exact same thing where they forget their train of thought what it was they were talking about all of these things all the time.
So it really isn't something that I'm truly associating with utilizing cannabis going, hey, this makes me forget these things. No, I noticed that's a trait that happens in people all the time. But that that also to kind of go off that now we use cannabis specifically for with intent we we have for a very long time we both. Used to just. Yeah, but I mean, even then though, I mean no, but I mean, you try to, but even even when you're using it, you don't get
to the point of inebriation. You're. Elevated but not inebriated. And I think that like earlier on when I was using cannabis, like especially that pen, like dude, I would get fucking stoned out of my mind to go mow my lawn. Because at the beginning and this is, this is what happens. And I think about, I thought about this the other day. I was just on someone else's show and we were talking about this because I had watched some PhD talking about it.
And it reminded me of when you take a tolerance break. So the more you use cannabis, if you use it everyday, the CB, like the receptors in your brain, there are less and less of them over time. Correct. So when you take a tea break, those actually come back. You can get those receptors back. So if it's a longer tea break, you can experience like some of those initial crazy highs, but. Yeah, but again, it's moderation. I mean, I I've never, I, I, I
wouldn't say never. I now use cannabis with intent and I have. Even when I was doing it all the time during the day it were smaller amounts. I didn't try to take too much. But again, it was because you were feeling anxious, you were feeling stressed. You were there was still something. You know, most of the time when you're like, oh, shoot, I'm
bored. It's this anxiousness of like, I don't know what to do. I need to be doing something, but I don't know what that is. But I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Yeah. And it's really hard to step outside of that and go chill. Fuck out. Yeah, yeah. Just chill. Like, you're OK. Like, look at where you are right now. Oh, man, I'm just, I'm sitting here. I got like a tree. I got like, yeah. All right. Yeah, right. Right now is is OK, but it's really hard to be right.
Here. To be here now. And so it's like when their life is tough and there's all of this crap, it's we're not here, we're here. And being here is where all of the stress and the anxiety and the depression comes from. Yeah, and it, it was that point for me, man. Like I had broken down just last Saturday. And this is if you'd listen to us now, it was almost in May and I, I was a Saturday morning and I woke up feeling it. But I was like, that's OK. I'm going to go make myself some breakfast.
And I make myself some breakfast. And before I could even eat it, it hit me, hit me so hard. And this fear of having a heart attack was right there. And I've had this unreasonable fear that I was going to die literally because I had a friend who had a heart attack. It really hurt him. Changed his life and he told me all about it. And for me at that time, I was thinking, fuck, I'm going to die and I don't want to die.
I, I've got too much responsibility, too many things that I need to take care of. And it got to the point where that Saturday I was, I was bawling. I couldn't, I couldn't handle it and I didn't know what was going to happen. And I, I had to call a doctor because I'm just like, I don't, I don't know what to fucking do right. And I cannabis definitely wasn't helping me at the time. And, and So what I did is I was able to get on certain medications to help with anxiety
and, and depression. And it's not necessarily the depression, it's anxiety of life. Do I want to die? Hell no. Do I feel like I'm worthless? No. Do I feel that everything is overwhelming? Yeah, sometimes. And it became more frequent and my cannabis use was leading up to that. It wasn't the cause of it. It was leading up to it. You know what I mean? Yeah, when it's because that you weren't still addressing it either and that it's still
there. And so it was just something that was constant and that cannabis just, you know, probably hyper fixated it in those moments and that just makes it worse. Well, and it's exactly, you just said it, you know, I wasn't addressing it. I was addressing the underlying issue, what was going on. And I can say yes, it was, you know, my diabetes, which was a part of it, but it was a lot of everything going on in my life.
And you know, to be honest, things have been going a lot better and things are are doing well. And you know what I'm involved in now, it's been really rewarding and I've been seeing a lot of good from it. But at the same time, it's always in the back of my head that I'm not doing enough, that I'm not good enough, that I got to do more. And, and you know this and, and many of you know this because you're dealing with the same. Struggle of feeling valued or like that you bring the value or
all of this stuff. And yeah, it's it's the constant struggle, but it's been hard. Like seeing you struggle with that the last couple weeks, like the last week has been fucking tough for you. But yeah, that is bad. We were playing video games couple nights ago and I didn't tell him because I didn't, you know, want to worry him. But while we were playing this game I am having a full blown panic attack. I was holding the controller and my hands were like this. Is that why I beat you?
Holy shit man, it never happens. I was like, Oh my God, this fucking sucks. And I was just like, I couldn't. And you were like, yeah, man, well, hey, I'm good. I was like, all right, cool. And I just laid in my wife's lap just like fuck. And I'm shaking, dude. My, my teeth would chatter and my hands would, would vibrate all day long. And you know, today and I, and I, I was nervous about smoking today. I really was nervous because I'm thinking fuck if this.
Was nervous for you. I've been like, it's been the weirdest week. Yeah, it because we we're best friends and we usually talk all the fucking. Time and I'm not. And this week it's like, I know you've been so crazy stressed. And not that I'm like, yeah, I can't. Like I don't want to stress them out. And you didn't, it just, it was just everything in life. And so now, like, even, you know, puffing on this was great. I feel good. I don't feel, I mean, do I feel a little bit in my chest?
Yeah. Because it's cannabis, like your blood pressure drops, it's reversed tachycardias. What happens to you when you first smoke. And so when your body notices this drop and noticing that there's nothing really wrong. Yeah. It increases your heart rate. And then your heart rate pumps the THC through your. Body real fast and. Then about 10-15 minutes it starts to level out and feel
fine. There's strains that you don't feel it at all in the chest, like that new one that we got to experiment with with one day we will give a name to and it was amazing because it it literally took all of my panic and anxiety away. Yeah, high CBG but like it. Was a. Great experience. So good. And it lasted hours. Yeah, one bowl list an hour. I was it was absolutely amazing. And, and, but at the same time, like, you know, it's an enjoyable thing to me. Cannabis unites so many people.
It helps so many people. Whether it, you know, I would rather somebody saying, you know, I had some liquid courage, saying I went out in the parking lot, puffed a little bit and got out of myself, saying, why am I so fucking stressed about meeting new people? Yeah. And a lot of people do that shit.
Oh yeah, I do all the time. The show yesterday that I came on, I actually, I puffed a little bit before, but I actually took a micro dose of psilocybin because I was like, yeah, I just, no, I it's been a weird month. It's been a hard. Month. Yeah, it's been a hard month for you too. And. But things are good. Things are good, things are great, so. Yeah, everything that happened with you and all that. I know we're all talking cryptically.
If he wants to share, you can. My my dad had a crazy surgery and it was he had a really high risk thing. But he couldn't have made it through. And it scared the shit out of everyone. And the doctor didn't want to do the surgery. And I basically rewrote his will for him, went over and added like trust addendums and stuff for the family and like, tried to spend as much time with him as I could. And then he he made it out. Yeah, they pushed the surgery up like a week early. And scared the.
Shit out of me 'cause I was like, wait, no like. I haven't had enough time like you. Just take a week from me maybe. And then it went great and he came out and he's off being his normal crazy self walking and working and doing crap and crazy bastard. I know so. But it's been crazy stressful and so. So during that stress, did you find that you were using more cannabis or less cannabis? Both. Yeah, depended, I actually.
If you remembered. Yeah, I well, I used more in certain moments because I also stepped off my longboard funny and twisted my knee and my. Ankle, you fucked yourself up. So I was using like high doses, yeah. I was walking with a cane for three weeks and mine, it still is sore. Like it still feels really weird down my leg, but it's not, it doesn't hurt. It's just like a weird twingy achy feeling now, but it's been
crazy. So I I've just, I used more micro doses because I thought it'll help clear my headspace and I am thankful for that because I have no idea what it would have been like if I didn't. But I definitely have utilized like more cannabis at times, but then less at others because I'm like I'm spending more time with
my dad. So I'm not using as much cannabis because I'm hanging out with my dad, but at the same time, I brought along my vaporizer and my dad saw me use it more than I, you know, he's ever seen me consume. Well, and then, but understandably so, and that's another thing a bit, you know, re evaluating it. Sometimes I feel that more use is not necessarily a bad thing because you are trying to be able to help your body.
Now, one of the things you'd brought up before, even with medications, you don't just cut cold Turkey. I will say this, I feel bad for those who have a hardcore dependency on this where if they go without they feel it. I did not. Now I was more preoccupied with being fucking panicky all the time. I think it depends on what it is 'cause I don't know if I would
feel. I mean, I would feel weird because it is always in my system and I would feel a lot more pain, but I don't know if I would on it. Like, I don't feel a need to take it. It's never like I need cannabis. It's like, man, I'm hurting, man, I'm stressed, man, I'm whatever. And I've got something. I have a tool that I know will help with that because I know it helps me with that.
Yeah. And so for me, I look at it and go, man, am I stupid if I don't go use this tool I have that helps me and that's how I see it sometimes. But then I also look at it and go man am I using this tool too much? Like. Do I need this tool this often? And so it's just looking at it differently. Like I actually through this month I end up making my own THC infused lotion and I've been rubbing it on my leg every single day.
And everywhere else. Yeah, everywhere else, because I'm like, I want to be soft Daddy. No, it's it's been good. But I think in that I've used less like smokeables. I've also been thinking about making a tincture again, kind of like we've been. Talking. And going, hey, would that help just take like the for those who use it for stress, would a tincture be great for that mild just taking the edge off through the day? Oh yeah. Or, you know, like we had talked about too.
Like I've been noticing that I've been coughing a lot more. Yeah. And wheezing sometimes, like after I smoke. Like, like, you know, I hear something like that and I'm like, what the. Fuck. And I clear my throat real quick, thinking that that's going to take care of it. Taking that time off, I already noticed a difference. And I'm, I'm wondering if because we talked about it a little too and I think the next tincture I make, I want to actually incorporate Molen into the tincture.
Just to kind of see how it affects. To see how it will help with like any congestion or that that does come from consuming cannabis. Nice. Yeah, I like that. I like that. But because, I mean, it's something that'll help out. I mean, even right now, like I feel it. I definitely feel in my head. I feel great. Like I just feel so chill. And I'll tell you right now it, it has made it more intense. Did it make me regret going on a tea break?
It was unintentional. But I thought, you know, sometimes maybe I don't need to use it every day. And that sounds strange to me because I use it every day. And so I'm just like, you know what? I'm not going to give myself a hard time anymore for using it every day if I do. And if I want to take a break, I want to take a break. And just do what feels right for you. And, you know, don't shame yourself whether it's taking a break or not. Like it's, it's OK to take a break.
Yeah. Or or don't shame yourself because you know, you've got a, a significant other that is not really cool about you using. Like I met this kid at the gym, you know, weeks before this happened. And he was like, you know, what do you do? And I joke around, of course, you know, I smoke pot for a
living. And he was like, man, that's where it's at. And he's got, like, this Brigham Young University shirt, like the Mormon of Mormon churches and this kids wearing it. And I was like, well, that's awesome. Do you partake? And he goes, yeah, but I can't. I've got a fiance now. And I'm like, what does that have anything to do with? And he goes, well, she'd be really upset with it. And I'm like, oh, so you lied to her. Yeah. And the girl, it was like their friend. She's like, yeah.
And they're like, look, if you're not going to be honest with yourself or her, then dude, what's the point? Like if you're using it just to have fun, I totally get it. I totally. Get it still if you're if you can't be honest with yourself or your partner, that's hard. And then you need to re evaluate. Do I need to continue doing this? Do I want to continue to do it? Do I enjoy the feeling? Or do I just do I do I see. Benefit and value that I'm actually getting from this, right.
And then yeah, it might be several conversations over many months or years with your partner going because like every one of us, this stigma has been perpetuated through everything. Oh yeah. And so it's even. We've talked about it. Oh hey, am I consuming too much over the years all the time? Because it's like, oh, maybe I should take a tea break because I feel like. Maybe I'm using it too much? Maybe I'm too dependent upon it. Yeah. And versus just seeing it like
anything else? Just going to take a break and that and that's OK. Like it's, it's like a diet. It really is a diet. And there's certain things like we get our greens every day, right? And we like our greens, no big deal. But at the same time, am I doing too much? Maybe, But that's up for me to decide, not anybody else. And so it's like, you know, kind of concluding all of this is that it's OK for me to take time off with it, with feeling out.
I have to have it. If you struggle with pain, if, if this actually helps with your anxiety, then I wouldn't stop and I wouldn't, I wouldn't feel bad about it. I don't need to tell anybody. I'm sorry for using more. No. But it's always good just re. Maybe it's good to re evaluate what your consumption looks
like. Or what you're consuming, right, Maybe it's maybe too much flour, maybe you're smoking way too much flame to flour and you start to develop a smell around you, dude, like after a while, like I, I just was not sensitive to the smell of cannabis. My wife's like our closet reeks and I'm like, what? Like it's in a it's, it's in a box and she's like, it's still reek and then Ron's like, and then days after like going and I'm like, Oh my God, it fucking
stinks in here. So then I got a new smell proof bag, took it all away. So it's just like, you know, OK, yeah, I'm, I was way more sensitive. I'm actually looking forward to enjoying it differently now because I think I'll be a little bit more sensitive and the flavors are more pronounced. It's just good every once in a while, just good to clear the palate. Maybe a few days, maybe a week. Yeah, some people go like a whole month or a year and they're like, yeah, I'm just
taking it off. Well, if you really want to experience that same euphoria the first times your mowing the lawn got really high, you can you can take that tolerance break, let those receptors come back and go experience some really fun new highs again. But at the same time, be cautious because that also comes with all the new fun experiences that you might have started with the first time. Yeah. And also on top of that, like thinking that your tolerance will just magically go lower
because of that. That's a misconception. Yeah, it doesn't necessarily mean that your tolerance like that you can't handle the high doses. My buddy took a year off of cannabis and he came back and could smoke just as much or take as many edibles. And yeah, not worry about getting crazy high to the moon. And it was even. Now like I mean I I smoke this and I feel fine. Oh yeah, I believe that.
Totally fine and it's just part of it, but I, I just, you know, concluding on it. I really, you know, I want to stress it. Do not feel bad about your cannabis shoes. Don't feel like others judging. You need to weigh on your decision. That's your decision alone. If it becomes a problem, if that's getting in the way of your work or your relationships or even your own productivity, yeah re evaluate it. Go on. Shit, am I turning into a fucking Stoner because I there's a can?
I function. Do I like? Am I exactly steal the human or? Am IA I'm a Stoner or am IA functional Stoner? And I'm a functional Stoner. I can do a lot of things, I can complete a lot of tasks. But if I was just staying home, getting high all the time, man, I even thought about that. If I was rich, I'd. Be bored I couldn't do. Something I would I would build a room on my house that had ventilation to just pull it out of that room all the time so nobody would know.
Well, my neighbors would definitely know, right? But but you know, I would don't remember the house like dad smoking in here. Like, fuck no. Like, yeah, because I built this fucking room. All right, Yep, but even that right out, like yes, I might smoke, but I would still do so much because it's it's not something that I can ever just sit there all day. Right. But it's I don't know, just just
re evaluating it let. Us know if you guys are re evaluating your relationship with cannabis or like want to help with that let us know reach out. Yeah, yeah.
