Sigh. Checking in here. Probably....oh...I cut my use of edibles by about 90%, and taking this activated charcoal twice a day made my tolerance diminish, but not by much. I find that cannabis is a band-aid patch for my c-PTSD and TRD, so it works, so long as I keep using it. Unfortunately, lately I have noticed that I am hitting the ceiling with the stuff, which used to be a lot higher. I don't know...I just know I benefit more from occasional psychedelic usage. Cannabis can be psychedelic, but I just need to stop using it as often as I have been...I think. I really don't know. I know I need to stop eating RSO every other day / every day but it's so good for my ailments, but then I end up needing like 200mg or more each time. I need to save up monies, since...my whole life is now trying to manage a very tiny amount of money, thanks to good ol cobra19

I am suffering from TOO MUCH Marijuana Abstinence. Its usually very hard for me to find Marijuana so I often go weeks without it because I cant find it in a timely manner. I havent smoked in 10 days right now. Thats why I wish Marijuana was legal in my State right now. Thats why I am so angry at Joe Biden because Joe Biden opposes Marijuana legalization. I will never vote for Joe Biden.

Marijuana Abstinence is okay if thats what you feel you need, but I wish people had the choice, I wish Marijuana was legal in the United States of America.



With you there. I hate that I'm drinking so much more alcohol right now purely because I can buy it over the counter. Miss living in California for that factor. Shy folks just don't have enough friends to have options outside of legal states.




Imagine having this problem with cannabis barely helping a mental situation that demands at least cannabis usage (c-PTSD and TRD), and having it respond better to psychedelics lol. All my homies are in other states, and you don't just walk up to acid or shroom dealers. I don't have a place to grow either, otherwise I totally would.

So, I have been taking activated charcoal twice a day for about a week. Goddamnit, do I wish I had a sauna. I would freaking build one if I had enough spare time, the wood, etc.

I will say this--activated charcoal, along with water and heating your internal body temperature up, by either getting tons of layers on or sweating via exercise/yoga/etc., really does pull toxins out of my body so well...and toxins can be found anywhere in the body, including the brain. I get that feeling one gets on a psychedelic where it feels like a brain massage--I get that on activated charcoal + water. Odd...it also makes me clear headed. Must be just binding to all the THC metabolites in my blood and clearing them out. I just want to reset my tolerance quickly and nearly completely so I can reap the benefits of cannabis again, so I can get back to diminishing my PTSD and TRD more effectively. I have tried every medication in the book, sadly. On some pills from my psych because I can't find actual psychs, although I thought about driving to go find them today, I forgot I had an appointment basically right in the middle of the day, and getting to the more urban areas is a hassle for me, not to mention parking. I guess I could line my backpack with foil, take the bus, quickly pick (finally now that I have seen enough pictures), and then just fill my pack.

I really wish I had a place to grow them. I think I'm just going to cut back on the cannabis as much as I can without losing my mind with the PTSD flashbacks, and hopefully save up enough to get a different place with some cool roommates. I have a trust problem with other people, I feel like if I just found people that I could trip around, they wouldn't freak out, then that's where I would live....so I definitely have spent all my money living by myself and can no longer afford it with my current cannabis expenses.

This sucks. I really wish at least ketamine infusion therapy was covered by insurance. Or we didn't have a health insurance system in the first place.

Well, since I have spent close to $50k on cannabis to alleviate ptsd symptoms...

I am trying to take a break, maybe quit permanently.

I thought about going to a dispensary after work, but as I was driving home, I decided, nah.

Hopefully I can just keep the momentum up. I can abstain for very long periods of time, but the first week sucks.

Have you tried going to therapy to treat your PTSD?




I am currently looking for a good therapist who specializes in ptsd treatment, hopefully hypnotherapy as well, that is in network but also not too far away...

Although I would drive 100 miles if they were really good

Hopefully in the future, I can be part of a MAPS study, and then work for them, which I think would be an amazing line of work

Still trying to cut back on the cannabis. Still spending less for sure, and I am saving more money overall, so I would say thats a win. I was net gain $0 for the previous 30 days a week ago. Just waiting on getting paid this week to keep building up something I can have as a financial cushion, so paying for therapy won't be too painful on my finances, because if I did it when I wasn't financially ready, I think the therapy would not work, or be detrimental to my mental well being if i was strapped for cash, hence why i am trying to be as frugal as possible. That's just my opinion, however. I think once I do find the right therapist and get plenty of exercise and meditation. I should be more balanced.

Yeah, I am definitely cutting back, simply because I need to save more money.

I basically withdraw how much money I have as spending money, in cash, after each paycheck as a way of tracking my savings
