How come when I drink this and smoke that graphics get a lot better. It's like going from ps1 to ps2 or ps5 to pc

DUDE

if you take things too seriously on the ganj you can make an ass of yourself pretty quickly. not every thought you have has to be dug up and thoroughly examined, if youre really that high then youre tearing yourself down with flawed logic. so just play some video games.

Do you actually have bad eyesight? Have you been to an optometrist? I feel you. Hard liquor for me, it's a no go

I haven't had a sober day from weed in like 4 months now. I'm not doing good.

If you're still functioning well, it's not a big deal with weed. I've been high for like a year straight; full-time job, 4.0 GPA, fixing my car during weekends, house is clean, etc.

I'm unemployed (technically on a leave of absence from work) and literally just smoke pot, play vidya, watch YouTube, jerk off and argue with strangers online all day.

Ngl, that's what I do on PTO days specifically.

Sounds like weed is not your substance friend. I love getting high. Enhances everything.

Sounds based

Your prefrontal cortex (filter) gets scrambled, you start seeing things more clearly and less judgemental. Also your reaction time is better because again - no filter

How come when I drink this and smoke that graphics get a lot better.

It's called beer goggles.

Pretty sure you're just so smart that even with the handicap, you're still able to meet the minimal (due to your abilities, I mean) demands.
I'm guessing you're unhappy though? Like you're using the weed to give you something you're otherwise not getting despite your abilities

naw, high functioning like that he's unconsciously self medicating to slow his brain down so he can focus

I have some mood issues that the weed levels out, my work is repetitive, and I'm bored with my surroundings. It also just feels comfy.

Name one game that was released in the past 5 years this is actually FUN, not a grindslop, not a storyslop, not cutscene slop.

But from start to finish actually fun.

I'll start, Neon White.

This is also very true. It does help to focus on one thing at a time.

its an easy trap to fall into when you get high.
best advice someone ever gave me was to never get high for no reason.
if you get high for a reason these kinds of intrusive thoughts never have time to work their way in.
so I wont smoke up unless I know i'm gunna log into X or play Y or watch Z.

another good one is only smoking up when you've done a bunch of shit like chores, cleaning and other shit you've been procrastinating.
being high when you know you shouldve done stuff sucks, but being high when you've just finished doing a bunch of shit you've been putting off is great.

Hey I know a cheaper easier way, just have slightly shitty eyesight but don't wear your glasses, it's like having super anti-aliasing.

If that's true, meditation unironically can achieve the same results (via biohacking, not spiritual nonsense)

Weed isn't a good long term solution, not because I have a problem with drugs, but because drugs don't just flip one switch in your brain but dozens and your brain's gonna start adjusting your brain chemicals towards bored because that's your baseline
If you find it starts to not work, or that you need more and more, consider alternatives; meditation is definitely meme'd and full of scammers but there's real science behind finding a certain mental state, then learning to trigger that autonomic response by will through conditioning
It's how, for example, free divers slow their heart rate to 40bpm or lower so that their oxygen utilization is lowered; it's a biohack thing achieved through conditioning (like PTSD but in reverse)

Yeah bro. Weed and Beer is like upgrading the gfx card on life. I know I perform better if Im hammered.

I can't crossfade and just puke when i hit any sort of dosage allowing for a high. Will never understand weedfags

Anon says he's not doing good

Tell him, knowing nothing about him, it's not a big deal because it's just weed, dude

Unsolicited info about your GPA and how clean your house is

Kudos on still having enough brain cells to clean your room, but I don't think that's helping him lmao.

I got this same shit. Weed makes me anxious and depressive and question my every decision in life and think about all the bad ones

Nine sols

Been using weed for 21 years with breaks here and there. Went totally sober between 2022-2023 and was a fucking stressed out lunatic before driving to another state to buy some, lmao. I took a hit, went back to the drawing board of my life, and enrolled in college for the first time.

couple beers after work

18-packs

Damn. That's really a lot.
Why though? Did you like the taste? Did you do it to ignore stuff?

Personally speaking, I don't think I'd get easily addicted. I actually don't like drinking by itself, I just enjoy the feeling of being drunk.

It was to escape literally every facet of my life being complete shit. The cheap beer tasted terrible at first, but then I grew to love it and crave it.

That sounds rough anon.
Are you doing better nowadays?

steel reserve?

One of the effects of a weed high is "seeing in HD"

Kind of like you shift slightly out of the world you observe and now you're watching a projection of it in 8k.

Drink probably hinders that though. Personally I'd get drunk or high, not both. They don't really compliment each other imo.

Yes, much better, and it's important to keep in mind that no matter how shitty certain things are now, it's nothing compared to then.

It was the other way round for me. Alcohol, even a small amount sends me into a deep suicidal depression, and I get drunk way too easily.

Weed makes it literally go away which is honestly a lifesaver for someone like me.

this except my tolerance is already sky-high
I smoked two bowls yesterday and barely felt anything, yet despite the effects being minimal I still crave it

Yeah, for a while at the beginning before moving onto even cheaper beers. Steel Reserve and a DiGiorno pizza was a go-to dinner combo. The gross sweetness of the beer balanced well with all the cured meat.

Sit down at the computer in the evening

Turn off phone

Crack open beer

Dude a weed

Spend hours upon hours gaming and going down retarded rabbit holes with AI

Collapse in bed with empty balls and exhausted

Sleep the sleep of the just

Wake up with a clear head and feeling chipper

Repeat

Unironically the comfiest I've ever been. No matter what goes on it's not that bad if I can honk the bobo and enjoy my videogames

You say you;re not doing good, but isn't that essentially what they tell you do do if you're taking it medicinally for depression? 1-2 puffs a few times a day to not get feel high, but to be close enough to get rid of the depression and be more alert?

You're interpreting it as addiction, but maybe you're just doing exactly what you need to.

cheaper than steel reserve? that shit's $1 a can what did you buy King Cobra? 32oz of malt liquor for $2?

For me they are both fun, especially at the same time. I love to do a "hippie speedball" (weed + beer + coffee).

I don’t know how you do it. I take 30mg of edibles and I can barely even get myself to throw wrappers in the trash bin instead of around my desk. I try to only get high no more than once a month. Keyword: try

Shadow Generations. You gotta ignore the Sonic Generations part though since it’s all trash

Yeah weed's weird. Like everyone just sort of end up smoking out of boredom.
Doing nothing sober sucks ass, but doing nothing stoned is interesting at least

I am depressed from lack of social interactions, my life since covid has been composed of shutting myself in a room for most of the day, smoking weed and jerking off to hairy girl porn
I have a full time job that's partly WFH that I'm handling completely fine despite smoking every day so if it is an addiction it's at least not debilitating
just feels like I use weed as a replacement for natural happines and I really don't like that

NTA but I read this book about self-esteem and it talks a lot about what is essentially meditation and how you can use it to condition yourself towards personal success. There’s definitely something to this meditation thing. Gotta know what you’re trying to get out of it though

same
putting in for a week of time off and playing vidya high for 9 days is the fucking best.

Puke in a can.

based
the same happened to me. 1-2 beers after a hard day's work gradually turned into 6-8 beers plus whisky.
quit 2 months ago and never been better. shit was ruining my life.

Show up back to work like picrel

Hands and wrists hurt

Dick feels broken

No regrets

i started with a glass or two of vodka+Red Bull, over 10 years my daily dose became half a botfle or more of Tanqueray every night and 4 whole bottles on weekends.
3 years sober now. I'm still just as miserable as before but i gots money in the bank now
wagmi

Ultimate combo, how can anything else ever compete

I used to smoke a ton. Just stopped in my late 20s. Don’t know why it just kind of makes me hear voices and act weird. I love taking one good hit now and then For me it’s like 6-8 beers on my day off. The first three don’t even do anything but make me relaxed. Then I get to beer 6 or 7 and get tired. I will prob stop drinking within a few years, I know it’s bad for me but I don’t really give a fuck

Coffee is goated. They have a free coffee machine at work so I bought a choccy milk and then put the free latte+ milk shots in it and made a hot chocolate milk coffee for free
