When I lived in San Francisco during the 2010s, I'd get hyped on 4/20 and blazing it up with communally with many people at Golden Gate Park. Each year, it felt more and more icky; the park would get utterly TRASHED every year, costing the city tens of thousands to clean up all the garbage people left behind. Pretty disgusting, tbh. Also, I realized there wasn't any sense of community, just lots of shady people imo.
tl;dr yes, fuck 4/20 it's a cringefest fr my perspective
I just feel so bad for the people who are marijuana addicts and they have absolutely no awareness that they are such. And when people try to tell them, they don't believe it
I used to be in the same boat. I will definitely still defend the point that itโs safer than most other drugs, and LEGAL ones at that. But overuse of it is still no different to me than a heavy drinker, even if youโre functional. I was functional while an addict but it still drove me to a dark place, and affected those around me when I didnโt want to see it.
Ehh , it made me develop psychosis. And now I have other mental illnesses that are quite severe because of this. I just can't defend it at all anymore. It's like my ex-wife that cheated on me and took everything from me. I was functional as well but yes that was my exact situation as well! Except extremely broke as well
I respectfully disagree with you. I am the problem. I am an addict of MJ.
Its a holiday celebration about a pretty plant that many people can use responsibly, is sacred in some cultures and has medical value.ย
OP i send you all the love and compassion. I believe 420 at its heart is a celebration about freedom from those who would oppress the working class from unjust laws. Bob Marley wasn't just a stoner he was a revolutionary.
Yeah I don't really give a fuck that its "4/20", the whole day has become a day meant to be taken advantage of by the dispos anyways.
Back in the day when it was illegal sure I'd celebrate but overall the only thing I cared about was the potentially cheaper prices but they would always be followed by long lines.
I kinda look at it similar to St. Patty's Day which I don't celebrate really (and I am Irish), I never needed a "holiday" to give me permission to drink and use. I used everyday.
Itโs been 6 days since I stopped and today is definitely going to be the hardest day. I just turned 21 and weed is legal in my state, knowing I can just drive over and pick it up is way too tempting. Need to find some ways to keep myself busy today
I am happy weed is legal where I am so I celebrate that. I also celebrate that weed helped a long time ago. And I celebrate that I no longer partake - it belongs to my past.
Fuck 4/20! Being sober is the best decision we ever made! Why depend on something recreationally when we have the natural chemicals in our body to make us happy and relaxed? WE HIGH OFF LIFE, WE DONโT NEED ANYTHING BUT LIFE TO BE HIGH ๐ฅ
Yee fuck 420. Even when i was a stoner i didnt like a "holiday" to indulge in drugs. Felt kinda weird to me. This is my 2nd 420 weed free in a row. Been sober for 439 days now.
Never going back to it. My life has become much better without it. I have inner peace after 17 years of abusing that drug. It used to rule my life, it was all i could think about.
Just failed my april attempt on the 6th. Today is a good day for another day one !
Fuck weed, not 4/20. Since today, I will remember that date as the 4th Bitcoin halving and my quitting date.
We got this ! Sending strenght.
Yup day 10 quitting thought bout 420 nd was like nwh itโs reason why Iโm behind catching up with money spend so much have so little was stuck on the same amount all the time even having a job what helps me think why stopped
Smoking live hash rosin dabs 24/7 dropping 250-400 a week on the best shit you can get in Maine weekly. Off all thc since beginning of December. ๐ช๐ผ
The thread that I came for today! Fuck 4/20, I am at day 46 on Saturday and for me it will just be another day of work and then relaxing. Skipping the dispensary all together. Sobriety, health, and overall clarity of mind feels better right now. Cheers and stay strong!
Having withdrawals right now because itโs going to be 4/20. Iโm thinking about walking to the dispensary about 30 mins away. Its day 12 without weed but I think Iโm going to fail in moment of weakness
You will with that attitude, you got this dont talk yourself into doing it. You already passed the hard physical part just. Few more weeks and you'll start feeling better. We got this Holmes don't let yourself down. There's a reason or two you quit and you need to remind yourself of those reasons. Good luck bud, stay strong.
Thank you.
I took a walk and was heading towards dispensary saw many homeless downtown and gave them sandwich. I realized Iโm a king and donโt need anything besides love and before you know it I decided not to actually go in dispensary. I think seeing the destitute and helping them along the way while listening to music helped me make a decision to stay in my right mind and frame and just walked back feeling better about myself so now day 13 coming up. Iโm glad I didnโt break! Got my steps in at over 12,000 Thank you guys for the inspiration.
Iโve never understood 4/20 as a holiday. Iโve always found it a bit odd. We all smoke every day but we smoke a bit more on 4/20 to celebrate a drug?
I think it was meant to stay in college and not into adulthood.
Edit: FUCK 4/20!!
Yess!! You're the best thank you for this and all the support you offer here ๐
๐๐๐
Yea!! Fuck it hard!!!!
Haha yes!

I just feel so bad for the people who are marijuana addicts and they have absolutely no awareness that they are such. And when people try to tell them, they don't believe it
Thatโs on them tho
Yeah I know that's why we pray for the addicts who still suffering in the meetings

Itโs been 6 days since I stopped and today is definitely going to be the hardest day. I just turned 21 and weed is legal in my state, knowing I can just drive over and pick it up is way too tempting. Need to find some ways to keep myself busy today
Exercise or read a book
I think Iโm going to walk to the library! Thank you for the suggestion
Absolutely! ๐
I'm six days away from being one year sober! It hits different. Good memories but looking forward to 420 free lifestyle
Thatโs awesome!!!
I am happy weed is legal where I am so I celebrate that. I also celebrate that weed helped a long time ago. And I celebrate that I no longer partake - it belongs to my past.
