I’m 25 now I turn 26 in December my goal is to enroll into a nursing program this year or start prerequisites.. again man thank you I’m not going back to that life..

    Great video! Rats have been used extensively in scientific research to study various aspects of drug addiction, including cannabis addiction. Rats can be made dependent on weed by chronic exposure, and then withdrawal effects can be observed when the drug is abruptly discontinued. Rats can develop tolerance to the effects of cannabinoids over time, meaning they require higher doses to achieve the same effect. While research with rats provides valuable insights into the basic mechanisms of addiction, findings cannot be directly expanded to humans.👋

    I’ve found it hard to quit weed because there isn’t as large of a quitting community around weed like there is Alcohol Anonymous.
    There is Marijuana anonymous but those meetings are very hard to find in person where there are more AA meetings in person all over the world.

      @@JonHoscoe ah interesting. I always though Canadian Healthcare was good. Well, maybe so when compared to what I'm working with here in the US.
      Well...good luck. RN i'm on going on day 3 here without weed. Surprisingly, I haven't had any insomnia like I usually do. But, I think because I was hungover and exhausted on day 1. By the time the day was over, I just fucking crashed out. lol.
      Solitude is okay. But, living with good/reliable people is even better imo. RN, I'm just stuck with myself and my mind permeates with all kinds of bullshit. When I'm with people, I can usually have a conversation and work out my internal lies. This kind of helps me get my head back on straight. Also, for me, , when other people are around, I always feel a sense of wanting to be a part of the community. I want to be an effective contributor. Oftentimes that wanting kind of deters me from rendering myself useless (getting high).
      But, also, I've used my isolation as a means to keep getting high, and COMPLETELY blazed out of my mind. Like, I will smoke a LOT. I don't just hit the pen once or twice, i'll probably do like 6-10 deep hits through the evening. And, if it is a wake and bake kind of day....then it's game over....
