you might PM a mod and see if they can move your thread to a more suitable location. Right now your in grow diaries...……. :DI know this is a little off topic. But I'm extremely curious to see if anyone is willing to share their stories of how cannabis has helped them overcome struggles.
For me I've never had a stable home or much guidance, so by the time I was 14 i was riding with friends doing a lot of messed up things. Around 20 i kinda broke and around 23 i became a complete recluse. I stopped speaking to all my friends, I was tired of doing bad everytime I walked out my home.
4 years ago I started taking sertaline which is a SSRI and for whatever reason i still hadn't thought of weed. Out of all people my Aunt came over with a preroll and my anxiety was so mild.
Been a smoker since. My life is starting to get better. I'm not angry constantly and I'm definitely not as lost. Oh and I dont take sertraline anymore. It did help. ALOT. But nothing compared to cannabis.
I know theres much more tragic stories out there then mine and if theres even a chance somebody would read something like this and find their way then I feel obligated to do it.
Hope this is an ok place to put this please share some stories if you guys are up to it :)

Moved you to smokers lounge:)Hahaha fuckkkk I clicked on a different area i thought my bad
I’ve said a few times the plant don’t owe me anything and yet it continues to give to me on a daily basis. Been a daily smoker since I was 16 (nearly 25 years) and don’t see myself stopping anytime soon. I’ve had times where I couldn’t smoke and often turned to drinking to self medicate. But the minute I can smoke I always do. It’s been a driving force of empathy in my life as I put myself in other peoples shoes. It helps keep me from getting angry and taking out my frustrations on others. It helps me see things from a different perspective.
I was once told that smoking cannabis allows you to see the world for the first time everyday. And that’s something that I’d like to help others experience as well. So my quest in life is to give back to the plant any way I can. And hopefully it saves someone else’s life like it did mine.

I was 12 years old it was 1982. First time was a Saturday night me and my 2 best buds told our parents we were going roller skating. I had no idea I was going to smoke the herb that night. It was all down hill at first from there. I basically dropped out of school. I was what you would call a “trouble maker”. It was about a year when I was 13 my step mom told my dad either I go or she’s leaving so out the door I went. I remember that night vividly, I was frying on acid when I got home that night. My dads face melted as he was crying and packing my bags. I always retreated back to smoking herb in between my bouts of drug abuse. From the cocaine to the crank to the meth herb was always there to help me deal with the ways I fucked up my life. Through out my 20s it was up and down constantly dealing with life for me was extremely difficult until I met my wife when I was 26. She and the herb pulled me out the gutter, luckily saving my life in my opinion. herb has always been there to enlighten our lives and help in its own magical ways.
Lol, thanks bro!!We all need an angel like that
Truly jealous over here :) well not about the shitty parts of course hahaha.
Keep up the good work bro!!I was 12 when I first smoked. And it was a blast! Me and 4 other buddies were hanging out in a camper together, and I literally thought we were blasting off in a spaceship!
Fast forward to my junior year of high school and I am pretty much known as the stoner of the class lol. But by this point, my social anxiety is getting out of hand so I decided to self medicate even more and dabble in pills a bit.
Fast forward a couple more years and off to college I go, and my pill addiction got to the point where I couldn't afford it. So at this point in the story I turn to heroin cuz it's cheaper. That's when things really got out of control.
I was a senior in college and flunked out cuz I always cut class and didn't care anymore. I only spent money on heroin. I'm talking hundreds of dollars a day. My body was falling apart. I couldn't even find veins to shoot up in. I resorted to shooting up in the vein in my dick cuz that's all I could find. I went all those years without smoking cannabis.
Well, a few years back I cleaned my life up. But I still didn't feel that great, or normal even. I had lost all my friends at this point too. That's when I rediscovered cannabis! That was just a baby step. Growing is what really helped me the most, not just smoking it. I have not had this much fun or been this passionate about something since high school! And the community here is awesome, and it's nice to feel like I have friends again, even if it is just on the internet lol.

Thank you, and very well said!Is it safe to say we become walking dead, when we lose our passion. It may be a lover, a job, a hobby or a loved one or just a purpose. We die inside and don’t care about the flesh anymore. Its a death wish. Growing is like connecting with something other than your misery. When you nourish it, it nourishes your sense of existence and importance.
Hard times man. Glad you’re out of it now.
