I use weed, pretty much, everyday. Have been doing so since I was 18. 50 now. I quit drinking alcohol when I was 28. Don’t do anything other than the marijuana.
I work out 6 days a week. Would be 7 if someone hadn’t convinced me I should take a day off. I have never once felt like marijuana does any of the things that people say that it does. It doesn’t make me lazy. It doesn’t give me issues with erections. Doesn’t mess with my sperm count although I don’t test that, I guess, regularly… No complaints though from those who do. I am highly successful in a demanding career that is paid based on performance. Have no issues with memory.
It does however bring me a tremendous amount of pain relief. Which I tend to be in every single day. Reference the workout schedule. It also chills me out. I tend to be a little bit of a hyper twit when I have had to go without some bud for a while.
For years now when trying to help peers who look at me and want to be like me I always start by asking about their current habits. Specifically their consumption habits. I want to know what they’re eating and I want to know what their abusing. Pretty much all of them abuse alcohol. When I tell them that’s the first step they should take. Remove alcohol from your life. They tend to respond with “I need something to wind me down.” That’s when I suggest marijuana. The looks I get are interesting because they act as if I just told them they should be eating a handful of cocaine every morning. They all failed to understand that alcohol is worse for their body than marijuana. They think marijuana is this terrible illicit drug that’s going to make them rob their local convenience store.
