Does anyone else not enjoy or care about weed anymore? 4

Years ago the thought of near national decriminalization/legalization of marijuana would have been one of the GREATEST pieces of news I could have ever heard.
Nowadays, it doesn't even excite me. In the past few years in the rare occasion I consumed in any form(bud,vape cart,edible,etc) it pretty much led to the same exact thing: extremely weird racing thoughts, physical and mental discomfort, hyper awareness of pain in the body, paranoia, and anxiety. It was infact almost always the exact opposite of all good things most may associate with marijuana.
I honestly don't even understand how people can even function after smoking this modern stuff, let alone super concentrates like oils,wax,dabs,etc. based off these strains. To me the flower alone feels weirder and more intense than taking a low dose of standard psychedelics.
It wasn't always like this. I cut my teeth and pretty much only smoked primarily what was widely available as the generic 'mids' in the early 2000's. Obviously by today's standards it isn't considered technically great weed, but damn if the high wasn't great.
I don't know if its a change in brain chemistry, nostalgia goggles, the change in the market of weed with sky high THC potency and hyper breeding that legitimately changed the effects, or what. I feel like I've read similar experiences from people who used to smoke and was highly enjoyable for many years, but somewhere along the line it just became a horrible experience, so they avoid it.
Anyone else feel this way?

I have been smoking weed since the mid 90s when it came in a brick. I have a drawer in my house with 7 different top end strains of flower, plus concentrates, candies, tinctures, vapes, etc. It has never been a greater time to be alive.
I agree with you that the weed has gotten more potent than the reggies of my day, but now you know what you're getting for the most part. I used to enjoy mushrooms for years, but somewhere along the way, I got what I needed and they're not as exciting anymore.
Maybe you got what you needed from the weed

Yeah that's the thing, I see how much more advanced the options are for consumers, the endless amounts of strains, and absolutely wish I could enjoy it without having said negative effects.
Valid point, maybe it's a simple age old case of a good thing coming to an end, and should leave it at that.

I smoked weed all day every day for almost 20 years and never thought I'd quit.
Something happened along the way and the only time I ever even take a puff these days is when someone pressures me into it and I usually regret it.
I remember a long time ago my boss was mad at me and he said, "One of these days you're going to grow up and quit smoking dope because you just won't want to be high all the time!" and I laughed at him.

yes mid 2000's chronic (what we called sensi in the burbs) was great and like you I also don't know if it's from brain chemistry changes or what, but the last time I smoked after a long break I got a 11% thc indica dominant hybrid and even that was too much. If I ever smoke a bowl again it will be from my own grow and I will try to find some oldschool seeds or something with a good cbd amount an indica heavy autoflower with hot/supersoil set it and forget it!

Yeah I'm the same OP. I still keep a little weed stash just in case, but...I'm pretty much never in the mood anymore. Truth be told it got to the point that for years I only smoked out when I was tripping, and now I'm starting to not even do that anymore (smoke during trips).
I mean one strong pull these days and I'm pretty much toast. And not in a good way.

Same. Ah the good old brick weed days. I used to venture into the deep hood to trap houses complete with guys behind the door with shotguns out in full view just to score dime bags.

I still toke on occasion. I remember the days when I felt the need to be high for every occasion. "Aw man, this concert/party/movie would be so much better if I was high". I still enjoy it but do not need it. It is also nice that when I do want to partake, I get blasted on just a little bit.

i have schizophrenia it heightens paranoia and anxiety, some times more in touch with pain so i wonder why i keept going to the dispensary for more purple creeper. it made me feel less delusional and lonely but at the same time fear based effects would make taking the trash out a dillema.

I am 30 and actually just recently started to smoke with any regularity. I never had any desire, then or now, to be high all the time but I have recently started smoking every night. After like 3 days in a row, almost all the weird/uncomfortable side effects that you mentioned diminished significantly. I now smoked nightly for a few weeks and that phase is already over.
However, I definitely know what you mean about not getting excited about it though. Weed has shown itself to be useful for a few occasions only; comedy, TV and sex. Otherwise, it kinda just slows me down and makes it hard to focus.
But who knows, could definitely be changes in the chemistry of the weed. Be interesting for you to get some old school weed and see if the change remains. My bet would be on the dose though... Easy to overdose on these super intense products.

I've been through that man. Smoked all day every day, workin at the clinic. Got to the point where I thought all my friends were talking shit about me in front of my face I was so paranoid. Had to stop completely to clear my head. Life gets a lot easier when you're not stoned all the time.
But then I started missing the magic and inspiration it brings, so I eased back into occasional use. I've learned to avoid it if im in social situations, or maybe MAYBE keep it to just one puff. I can handle more if im just listening to music alone.
Less is more. I'm loving the legal shops around here. Lately ive been getting weed chocolate bars, which are awesome because the dosing is so consistent. 2 little pieces is perfectly manageable, every time. Not getting super fucked up, just lightly uplifted, making the music sound better while I go out for a run.

Yeah. Quit smoking herb couple years ago. Glad I did.
-------------------- Best piece of advice I could give right now is; Be patient, kind and respectful to everyone you meet. You really have no idea who you're going to come across.

With how strong it has become, you really need a tolerance to enjoy weed. Or you need a microdose (tiny hit).
With no tolerance I get anxiety, racing thoughts... with a tolerance I get warm fuzzy feelings. I still love weed. I mostly do dabs of rosin.
But I agree it’s lost it’s edge, it’s so normal now. I bet the kids these days don’t even care about it because mom and dad smoke it and you can get it delivered legally.
