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 101. 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? Cause 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 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 part CBD to one part THC, utilize lemon juice 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 gonna 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. It's 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, Lying factors. Right. And now I just came through. I've been seven days off of cannabis. This is gonna 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. 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 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 little 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. 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. 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 are 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. It could perpetuate or push out 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, where 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 a high three hundreds, low 4 hundreds. Some are listening going. I'd be in 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 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 it's such a drastic fluctuation for, Oh yeah, anything you're.
Used to. And on top of that, like I had a close friend of mine who 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 reevaluating his relationship with cannabis over the last little bit I'd say not even necessarily just last week but like looking at because it's been 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 reevaluation and sometimes like we were talking on the phone before this like that's probably a good idea to to 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 changing 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 an 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, and so it would make sense to taper down to use cannabis. That's kind of something one I 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 withdrawal 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 it. Looks a nice little chill. It's such a great hybrid. It is a good experience.
And and 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 ever gonna 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
wonder 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 pain 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'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 said, like you know, do we smoke it when we play? Hell yeah. We're having fun when 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 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'll be driving home. I'll 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, 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 when I'm carrying my vaporizer. And usually those are I'm hurting and this is a yeah, I know I need, I need this because I hurt really bad and this is just going to help take that edge out. But otherwise, like, I realize with pens, pens are just that habitual candy.
It's in my pocket. When you were talking this morning, you're like, yeah, mentioned something about a pen. And 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. 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 dealing with distes compared to a live rosin or live resin pen, I find that the distes make me more panicky. They get my, and I mean even though they feel really good too. You're gonna 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 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, 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 too. Because like even my wife had said sometimes she's like, you know, we we'd had a discussion kind of a a semi argument about my usage.
And she's like, I don't like it. Did you come in smelling like like burnt flour all the time, 'cause I'd always duck out to the garage and and get my pipe or get my little NJ Arsenal bong. 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 than the vaporizers. It's better than the edibles.
Better than distis, 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 and didn't even feel like I was smoking a joint. Those are the same filters used off of the happy camper pipes, Happy campers.
And I was like, holy cow, but it was still filling with flower 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 a vaporizer it can be 1530 minutes to get the full ride up. I mean, yeah. Like right now I'm feeling. It some flowers do that too. They settle in over time, 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 gonna 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 a 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 that our ancestor did for a long time, is being able to put flame to flour 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 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 not as 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 every day, 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, oh, 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 'cause 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. 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, yeah, 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're listening to us now. It was almost May and I I was a Saturday morning and I woke up feeling it, but I was like, that's OK. I'm gonna 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 gonna die literally, 'cause 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 gonna die and I don't wanna 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, 'cause 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. Depression is the 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 at 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 gotta do more. And and you know this and and many of you know this 'cause 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, 'cause I didn't, you know, wanna 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, alright, 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 I. Was nervous for you.
I've been like, it's been the weirdest week 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 I can't, like I don't want to stress him out. And he 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 reverse 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 cyst. Body real fast and. Then about 10-15 minutes it starts to level out and feel
fine. They're 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 incredible. Experience.
So and it lasted hours one bull listen out 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. 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 that was fucking scary. Scared the shit out of me, 'cause I was like, wait, no, like I. Haven't had enough time like you. Just took 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 on 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. Wrinkle. So I was using like high doses. Yeah, I was walking with a cane for three weeks and my 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 microdoses 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 I'll be, 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 honor, 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. 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 smokables. 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 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 Mullen 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. I like that.
I like that 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, I'm not gonna give myself a hard time anymore for using it every day if I do. And if I wanna take a break, I wanna take a break. Yeah. It's just what 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 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. And the girl 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 using it just to have fun. I totally get it.
I totally. Get it 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. Is there 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? Yeah. 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, I'm just. Gonna take a break? Yeah. 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 it for me to decide, not anybody else. And so it's like, you know, kind of concluding all 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. But it's always good. Just 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? I'm like it's in a it's it's in
a box. It's just like it's still reek and then Roz like and then days after like going in I'm like Oh my God it fucking stinks in here. So then I got a new smell proof bag and 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.
Declare 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 you're 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 going shit, am I turning into a fucking Stoner because I there's a Gen. I function do I like? Am I still 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, fuck. What would I do? I'd be bored, I couldn't do. That 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 get rid of the house like his dad smoking in here.
Like, fuck, no. Like, yeah, 'cause I built this fucking room. All right. But even that, like, yes, I might smoke, but I would still do so much because it's it's not something that I can never 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.
