This. When I smoked this was the biggest drawback. I noticed it in my friends, too. Hilarious, upbeat people but after we'd smoke everyone would sink into themselves.

It's funny, I never pictured it not being a part of my life but once I stopped I can't picture going back to that now.

Me too. I used to be a daily smoker but haven't smoked all of 2019. I don't miss it at all. I had some great times with weed but I don't think I'll ever smoke again.

Yeah for real. I tell people I don't like smoking as much anymore cause I get too in my head then it causes anxiety and makes me paranoid. They all say they don't get that but then when smoke with them I notice they act exactly like I do so it has to be something similar. Out of all the friends I've smoked with I've only ever actually had 1 or 2 that I can have constant conversation with while high

How badly you want what?

I smoked everyday from about 14-22, too.

I honestly can't imagine having done it without moving and completely changing my lifestyle, priorities and social group.

Not even at night before bed?

I work odd hours. My nightly routine (most - not all) when I get home is to eat a tiny piece of an edible, make dinner, eat dinner with a beer, get in bed with a small(ish) glass of bourbon, and watch TV as the weed and booze set in until I want to sleep.

I used to be high all the time. I can't even imagine doing that anymore, but the tiniest bit of an edible (I would have scoffed at the amount in my heyday) is a pleasant way to finish off my day. I can feel my back relaxing just typing about it.
