    Drinking everyday is hell on your body let me tell you.

    Daily cannabis feels great though.

      I know several people who used cannabis to help them quit drinking and turned their lives around.

        I tried that, but then I discovered doing both at the same time was even more fun.

        That’s me, sorta. For the first time since I turned 21 (so almost 15 years), I can have just one drink and not want another. I didn’t even really try to cut back, it just happened naturally after I took up cannabis.

        Looking back, it’s kind of incredible how much alcohol was bringing me down.

      I’ve lost 50 lbs in the past year. It is almost entirely due to the fact that I replaced alcohol with weed after it became legal here. I sleep better, eat better, I’m less anxious, and I actually look forward to working out now.

      It’s very hard to see any downsides.

        If you ever go to the doctor and have nausea they will immediately try to diagnose you with CHS, even if none of your symptoms match CHS other than vomiting. I swear there is some competition to be the first one to diagnose a case after it became legal.

          Thanks for the heads up. Pretty fucked we have to live in a world where we can’t be completely open with our health care professionals.

      i honestly don’t think this is good for your mental health, but i’m glad your body feels better (i hope you’re not smoking it)
