Discussion Does smoking weed or other stuff help with existential pain ?

[zdeweilx]

I have never tried to smoke anything, not even a cigarette, but I'm going through a very painful existential crisis just like every year around that time of the year, and I was wondering if smoking weed or something similar could help to stop the pain even if it just brings temporary relief ? I have been trying to stay on the "healthy" route all my life but I'm so depressed and suicidal I don't even care anymore. I was also thinking getting to know how it feels would be nice before finally kicking the bucket

It can also amplify the mental illnesses within ones brain but overall it's pretty harmless

really depends. while i suffer from trauma and suicidal tendencies, im not an anxious person at all. i can go out and function in society, i do just fine in crowds and have no qualms with working when i feel up for it.

getting high is great, but i feel like a lazy piece of shit afterwards

my partner is the opposite. nervous wreck, major cptsd. not really comfortable leaving the house or going out on his own.
he used to be fine getting high, but it started to make him super paranoid and delusional -like hearing stuff in the middle of the night. so he stopped.

id say just stay away from sativa and stick with indica. drinks and edibles (oil or wax) are the way to go

Everyone is different. For me it just made everything much worse and I wish I never tried it.

depends on the person, i like it as a distraction and also helps me with my other health issues, i like being able to get out of my head for a bit tho
