First time posting here, although I have been lurking for a while. So I’ll keep it short and sweet just a little about myself, I’m a young adult living in the US. I know this country must be the laughing stock of the world right now with the election and the virus and rioting. But everyone has been going through some amount of stress and I hope everyone is surviving and well. These are strange times and change is happening. I even had to move out of California due to COVID and not having a job(it was a restaurant). Things do seem to be getting better, that was months ago. I’ve been thinking about starting to smoke weed again since finding a new job, but sobriety hasn’t been bad at all. And imagine the money saved. I’m curious what your thoughts are on this, back home I smoked every day and obviously I don’t think that’s a good idea but has anyone ever quit and started back up again? I had some with a coworker and it was strange, I got short of breath and had a racing heart. So I’m thinking of changing my habits and cutting back on the beer intake as well. Anyway I’m rambling so I hope to hear from you all soon! And sincerely hope everyone is doing well!

Honestly, if you can do without weed on the daily you probably should stick to recreational use. For me smoking weed has definitely become an addictive habit, and it's a shame because it makes the whole experience less fun, less special, not to mention more costly. Same for beer TBH.

Thanks for the comment! I agree the beer and weed are similar in the way it becomes less special with daily use, and bad for the wallet. I think I will try a more sustainable approach, all my indoor grow equipment is still in storage but with a low tolerance outdoor should serve me well. It’s just up to me to keep it recreational. I know some people drink or smoke every day because they have to but I have no excuse to fall back into old habits. Since taking a break I have been enjoying spending time with family and a lot of the outdoors, be it hiking fishing or bird watching.
