    Well, I had been smoking almost all day every day for a decade, the last year I was hitting dab at least 3 times per day. The weekend of the incident, i ate an early breakfast, drove for 6 hours, then went backcountry camping with what I thought was enough food/water (I was wrong) and a too much thc. Went all day with very little food/water, hitting a 2g vape every few minutes and walked around 17 miles. Then my friend drove us the 6 hour drive home, about an hour later I got a ride to the hospital, I usually drive myself to the hospital but I could barely move. I dont mess with that stuff or anything else anymore. Being clean feels better anyway.

      It wasn’t the cannabis. It was “Went all day with very little food/water” 99%.

      What you describe as your daily dose I’ve literally eaten for breakfast and then doubled the dose a few hours later, then ate even more. Jelly, not chocolates or complex edibles. And I made them into a drink first for quicker absorption.

      I also smoked 3-5g daily during that.

      It’s not the cannabis.

      Why are you going to the hospital so much and why are you able to drive? If I go to the hospital it is because things went so bad I can’t drive.

        I have only been maybe 3 times. Driving myself 2 of 3 times qualifies as “usually”. as to why, ambulances are like $3k per trip and I have an inhuman pain tolerance. A 6.5mm kidney stone or a hole from a 16penny nail that through and throughed my foot, if I am conscious, i am not spending $3k on a 30 minute glorified cab ride.

          OK. Makes sense.

          I’ve been in the hospital more times than I can count. But I agree ambulances are bullshit. Last time I took one was because a nurse convinced me it was vital. A agreed and got a cab ride, with my wife following. The only good part was they rolled me from the ambulance directly to my bed.

          edit - oh yea, never used an ambulance when younger because i lived two blocks away from the hospital. life was rough back in the days.

      A lil’ dab’ll do ya.

      The nice thing about flower and marijuana in general is that it is/was rarely refined or broken down to concentrations that you see with things like the coca leaf into cocaine.

      Even hash was just a plant matter removal more than chemically concentrating like you see with some of those vape serums.

      Like, I love me some coffee and tea, but I’m not fucking with any caffeine pills.

      But I digress, glad you’re doing well nonetheless.

        Had* and it wasnt addiction. I decided to stop and imidiately stopped. Its been years. My life was boring, empty, and depressing, I used the green to mask the void. But now I have filled it with substance, meaning, and purpose.
