Not a good long term strategy, trust me on that one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

True. Sometimes i drink too much just to cope

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

But can you drink and breath?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Fun fact: amphibians can't breath while eating or drinking because they lack the "wall" between mouth and nose. They can touch the nose with their tongue from the inside. I'm not sure about reptiles

I knew a girl like that once

Wait what

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Nah, better to take psychedelics and improve yourself

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Improve like: quit you stressing job.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Or be fired for asking why the walls are breathing.

or get promoted for having that wild / surrealist energy that the CEO has been looking for all along for some reason

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

These are both within the realm of possibility.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

I don't have to improve a damn thing if I don't wanna.

Do it the California way. Way better for your health.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

I've been California sober for a year and I feel much better, I do miss drinking sometimes tho.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (3 children)

What is the Californian Way?

Thanks. I wish I liked it.

I disliked the effects of weed back when it was illegal (Canada); just made me paranoid. Our legalization of recreational marijuana helped me understand that weed is more than THC. (Anything I'd have smoked back in the 90s was probably crazy amounts of sole THC.)

Legalization has allowed me to experiment with CBD levels. Now I get a 1:2 ratio of THC:CBD and it's a completely different thing. I'm relaxed, smiley, glued to the couch and off of Benzos. (I like Mango Haze.)

I know it's not for everyone, and I'm not a pusher, but I thought I'd mention that CBD is a game changer. (There is CBG now too.)

Thanks for the recommendations. I tried that a few years ago and still didn't like it. There are only two situations where I can enjoy it. The first is if I'm already hammered drunk, but I don't drink anymore. The second is if I'm in the high country backpacking. I do that quite a bit, but I have such a great time up there anyways, I don't see the need to do any drugs. If I'm with someone who is passing it around, I might take a hit. Otherwise I just leave it alone. It's not for me, unfortunately.

Roving gangs of suburban kids on bikes

Yes, but… speaking from experience, it is definitely possible to overdo it on that angle. The psychological impacts of heavy long term use are… shall we say, unsubtle, but at the same time, REALLY hard to admit and see for yourself if you’re in the throes of it.

Moderation and T-breaks are frankly pretty crucial.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Oh definitely! I agree. I vape on a more or less daily basis, which is based on medical advice and a prescription, and even then I think it's important to take some time out every now and then.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

gotta stay hydrated

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (2 children)

You can, until it kills you.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Once you're dead you've got no problems to cope with. Win win!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

That just means I no longer have to worry about the fact that I probably wont ever see a dime of the social security I’ve paid into for my entire career

Cheers, comrade.
