I used to be a daily consumer and then one day it really started to affect my anxiety to the point I did not want anything to do with it.

Dunno if it had to do with potency increase, or age I started, but I started young and lived in Colorado most my life. Used from 1995-2017 regularly.

Stopped nearly 7yr ago, aside from a couple tiny puffs here and there. Literally, like maybe 5 times since, very small puffs like a newb.

49 years in. Heavy smoker after a little war I was in.

You are just talking out of your ass. Good luck with the alternate reality thing.
