You had a rough start. I’m glad to see you have the strength to deal with it.
It’s okay to watch porn. This physical world exists mostly for sex. More or less everything else can be enjoyed in mental/astral planes, such as love, music, art, creation, logic, and so.
Did you talk about porn with your girlfriend? Not every woman considers it bad. Most women watch porn.
I stopped watching it since I am taking mushrooms. I didn’t stop it because it was wrong. Many times, I took mushrooms with the purpose of watching porn. All drugs make me sexual, but pharma, for example, takes me away too fast to get involved.
The reason I stopped watching porn was I lost my interest. No kind of porn can come even close to what I see, although what I see is much less explicit. Trust me, I watched everything except for children and violence. A huge part of my trips are sexual, or more likely, erotic, and porn is not interesting anymore.
As for weed.
I find it typical that they want to legalize it. The more harmful a substance is the more likely it is legal. The less harmful it is, the more likely it is illegal.
You can see it’s better than alcohol but it’s in the middle range.
From personal experience, weed caused me the most issues by far. Until you are balanced, happy, optimistic, weed can bring you to hell. It doesn’t happen to everyone, but when it happens, it’s bad.
I’ve never met anyone in my life who smoked weed on a regular basis, and who didn’t seem to have issues because of it.
By the way, weed is the typical drug for watching porn. If you feel guilty because of the porn, and if weed makes you feel guilty in general, they are the worst combination for you.
If you want to go on the path of taking drugs, I suggest that:
1. Grow mushrooms.
2. Take pharmahuasca instead of vaping DMT. My choice of MAOI was syrian rue extract. You might run into difficulties getting it now due to the crisis. Then, grow mushrooms.
3. If you can’t resist both porn and weed, watch porn and don’t smoke weed.
4. Try to understand that this physical world was created mostly for sex and porn. Not many people will tell you this because they don’t know it. I give you my word. It doesn’t mean you should watch porn. For example, I stopped it. But it's okay to do it.
5. One year ago, I would have suggested you go to therapy. But I stopped mine recently. (We will meet once in a while for my meds). Mushrooms and pharma worked out better.
I didn’t read all your post as it was quite heavy. I could feel for you already for the parts I read. You are strong and intelligent enough to heal yourself. You are doing it already. Keep going. Your life will be better.
