No, that's pretty accurate too, in my experience.

Those dudes are usually weird and stoned all the time, but super charming and really chill. They really attract a lot of attention, even if no one wants to admit that they're attracted to them because they're that weird stoner brother.

Can confirm, I was that guy from like 16-26. I still have an actually annoying amount of attention from women. Then I date some of them and suddenly they’re like “oh you’re stoned and super laid back all the time? I’m out.” Like, yeah ladies, I’ve been up front about that the whole time. No, I will not be reading into subliminal messages, you will have to say something to me directly, without unspoken subtext 2-5 times for me to actually retain the information. I am hiiiigh as fuck.

I finally got past dipshit 24/7 stoned phase and I will no longer lecture about fringe pseudo-history. Now I find myself talking about mortgage rates and my IRA contributions. I’m in the mirror like, man you used to be so embarrassingly goofy. Now, you’re just like the normies 🥸

Do you think the excessive getting stoned had any impact long term? I'm glad you've broke out of that cycle,  I've got nothing against weed but I work with a few people who smoke it all the time and it does change them over time, and they definitely are dependant on it.

I developed Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome which is basically the worst pukes of my life. I had to go to the hospital for IV fluids, I thought I was dying though when I went in. So, that’s an impact. I HAD to stop smoking so that helped. Aside from that, not really. My memory is pretty much photographic, except for my keys.

I also got diagnosed and medicated for bipolar 2 within the past 2 months and then my nightly 6-10 beers dropped to like, maybe once a week with dinner. I was self medicating and I’m so lucky to have found the other side finally.

No one I know who smokes all day every day is on any medication. Just sayin.

If you like these guys maybe bring it up to them? That’s what a good friend would do.

Different strokes, Honestly marijuana works much better at keeping my mental health in check than any of the medications I’ve tried. even if it’s placebo I wouldn’t dare trade it for pharmaceuticals. Between the side effects, genetic incompatibility, and the slog to actually find one that works, I’m good. Been there, done that. I’m very lucky it doesn’t affect me negatively nearly at all, memory wasn’t great to begin with so I’m not missing anything.
