Quitting marijuana, music

[Tae]

Gentle humans, I am a cannabis writer and am well educated on the current reality of products in Canada. I apologize I was unclear in my first post about the distinction between dry and wet vaping. If you heard anything about "it causes more damage to your lungs" it was regarding liquid vaporization–generally flavored propylene glycol–and it's based on knowledge from people working in plants where these products are used in much more concentrated forms, not on long-term studies of people vaporizing marijuana in any way. Much of the information consumed from mass media outlets is greatly exaggerated and stylized to drive people's opinions on the desired direction for capitalist sales.

Tobacco is where a lot of money comes from. When marijuana is legalized, smoking it is where the money comes from. If you're going to smoke it, at least use a pipe so you're only getting combusted herb in your lungs, not paper remnants too. Now I'm steering into my own conspiracy territory, but I absolutely believe there's been negative campaigning against the concept of vaping because dry herb vaporizing is so much more efficient, muddying the data field because there's two different types of "vaping" and also the whole "vape nation" world of flavors. And I am personally suspicious about the long term health benefits of that "alternative" to smoking; I believe that dry vaporizing tobacco would probably also be the best choice, I just personally have never taken any interest in trying that other sacred herb. And similarly it would be more efficient and easier on the lungs, yet I never hear anyone talking about it, dry vaping seems to be exclusively a marijuana user thing. And also occasionally "herbal medicine" thing, I have absolutely heard of people throwing in essential oil herbs and vaporizing them. (le shrug) I did it with mint once. It was minty.

Starting today I'm lessening the dose. I'll be smoking less and less to honor your support and my teeth/lungs/memory.
I can't do cold turkey yet. this should be good enough for now.

Do it at your pace. Less smoking is better than stopping for a window of time and then getting back on and going "eh well it was never going to work out for me anyway." Another thing I do is take just one day off here or there to clear my head and keep my tolerance at the same level. It's constant heavy daily use that really starts to steer the negative symptoms into your life. Don't feel ashamed of yourself, just take measures to improve at a rate that you can personally achieve. If you stop smoking joints and blunts, or decrease your daily intake, that's still a win. You're still bettering yourself.

You're doing great.

A lot of people though, seem to just hit a point where they decide "ah weed is no longer for me" and then they quit, no problem, so it is possible to cold turkey it if your brain is oriented right.

The one thing I still remain confused about is–you're not quitting music too, are you? Because that seems a sad thing.
