me, mary jane and our trials

I started smoking weed as a young high schooler who had been craving drugs most of my youth, out of curiosity, wanting to fit in, wanting to quiet voices, and when it did all the things i wanted it to do i leaned on it for years. Clung to it. But, after going cold turkey on my antidepressants due to being sick of them, weed was my friend. She helped me calm, regulate, laugh, she reminded me to eat, and best of all share with people i loved. I don’t need anything to do that anymore (Shout out frontal lobe development) and due to being broke in college, i smoke significantly less, and now only when i want to, not because i need to. which is nice! addiction sucks bawwwllsss and my sprint away from who i used to be with substances has slowed into a nice jog.

LONG LOST LOVER

I smoked for the first time when I was 15, and was smoking pretty much daily by the time I was 16. While I do give it some credit for helping me get out of my abusive relationship at the time (It made me realize that I actually wanted to have fun and live my life), It was very much a substitute for any actual proccessing, healing, or coping. It gave me a false sense of inner peace. It gave me a false sense of outer peace as well, because I was so avoidant of any kind of conflict.
I quit because I’d experienced trauma and it began to put me into really scary experiences where I wasn’t quite sure if I was losing my mind or not. I quit when I also quit drinking, which was almost 13 years ago now.
Weed is the only substance I ever miss. Sometimes I wish I could just dabble a little bit and throw on some Planet Earth, but it is always so apparent that when I am craving it I am also very stressed out. If engaging with all of my other healthy coping skills works, then I didn’t actually need it in the first place.
I sometimes wonder if when I’m old, I’ll fuck around with it again because at that point, why not?

LESS IS MORE

My weed intake really picked up for a while after the start of the pandemic, especially as it became legalized where I live soon after. I was definitely using it as a way of coping with stress, anxiety, and depression — and I was using alcohol in this way too. It was a way to feel silly or loose when I wasn’t otherwise feeling that way.
Last year, I cut my alcohol consumption to near zero (I’ve had a handful of drinks in the past year) and weed use has slowly followed. I didn’t like that my weed consumption got me into vaping 😤, the expense it added to my budget and, even moving fully to edibles, it triggers some stuff with my eating disorder. I still take a gummy from time to time, but I try to be really conscious of my usage.
Instead, I’ve meditated more and tried to go on walks/runs as a way of de-stressing rather than just masking the stress with intoxicants.

protesting!!!

it’s the very least we can do. one of the few things america has gotten right is allowing us to protest the government and that’s exactly what we should be doing right now. there are multiple ways of protesting including going to marches, boycotting, addressing your representatives directly, and voting “uncommitted“ in the upcoming primaries to communicate to the democratic party that they are not acting in the people’s interests and that we will not support biden if he continues to fund this occupation and the deaths of tens of thousands of people. please do your part because you’d want people to do the same if it was you in this situation. i’ve linked a list of upcoming protests around the world. please use it. <3

finally watched marcel the shell with shoes on

so freaking cute. i love movies where it’s a tiny character and you get to see their different little world (like ferngully which is also great if you haven’t seen it) i didnt expect it to also be a commentary on social media and celebrity but that was cool too. music was great. the voice acting was great (how is that jenny slate????). i was hesitant to watch because everyone spoke so highly of it and i didn’t wanna be disappointed, but it’s so worth the hype!
