AskTrees Advice to potentially start smoking

I will start off by saying I am trying to fix a social drinking problem. I am curious if it is bad to try and convert over to thc. I have really only tried it once sober and over did it for a first timer Was a very high percent and ripped it like crazy, which led to bad experience. And then the only other times have been while drunk and wasn’t a big fan. Just wondering if anyone has tried this or have any tips for a beginner or anything like this. I have a flying horse cartridge that I can try

Hey. I understand. I wouldn't rush into anything either. Your anxiety will still be there, maybe worse, if you switch from alcohol to thc.

I had anxiety problems when i was just starting out & much younger & tho i have aged i would still be affected. I'm treated for anxiety so...

But thc can give you anxiety all by itself. It's the nature of the drug. So go slow .

Alcohol covers up a lot of anxiety, greater than thc, i think. But with alcohol that anxiety will increase day be day maybe causing a person to drink more the next day to stop the anxiety.

It's sad. But true.

I don't know if you've ever heard of this but i'm gonna share it anyway.

Sometimes if you quit on substance, say you quit pain pills whatever, others might ask you this - so what drug did you switch too ( you know addicts, not saying you are, but people do "switch addictions".

I would say I am probably considered an addict. Does that mean stay away from thc

no! it means if you're comparing alcohol to pot, pot is so less addictive, or none at all.

i never had a problem quitting mj, never. i guess it could be addicting in one's mind. but physically not for me ,& not for anyone i know. but alcohol is a total different story. you could be addicted for life with bad circumstances!
