Members shared a wide range of opinions and personal experiences with cannabis in the context of managing health conditions like RA, inflammation, anxiety, sleep trouble, and appetite loss. Several members described shifting from recreational use to using it as a medical tool, preferring indica hybrids with CBD, gummies, or THC drinks over alcohol or prescription medications. A recurring theme was that cannabis affects everyone differently, with some finding great relief and others experiencing paranoia, and many emphasized the importance of open communication with partners about its role in their lives.

I smoke rarely and when I do it’s like having a whole bottle of wine in 2 puffs so I avoid it for regular use. I’ve learned to just deal with stress and anxiety so I haven’t made it part of my routine. I prefer that my partner use it in the same way so I’ve actually cut ties in 2 relationships because they were daily users.

Yes, you definitely have to be in a relationship where you both agree on this subject.
I'm fortunate to have someone who understands my dependency on it but I'm also very respectful not to do it in front of him I usually like to be in the open air in the backyard or the sunroom where there is ventilation. It helps me to put on the brakes when things are going by so quickly without recognition of the moment. My partner appreciates that as well that we have learned to stop and smell the roses..
My last ex started to throw it in my face .... that ended the relationship quickly.....considering all the vices he had....β€οΈπŸŒˆπŸ‘πŸ«¦πŸ‘„πŸ’¨πŸ’¨πŸ’¨

I've enjoyed the pot 😁 for many years now..LOVE the smell - before, during & after πŸ˜‚ It's not for everyone, especially if you're already paranoid. I would rather get high than drink alcohol. πŸ˜—πŸ’¨πŸ’¨

It really depends Rob. I use it medically and it helps me with my weight because I am thin and it helps me with my sleep. I buy in quantity so it lasts me the entire month. California has some of the best pot in the world.
