Amazing comment! I feel a kindred spirit in you. I believe that the people in your life are probably lucky to have you. I wish you all the best!! And I agree that you gotta have a little bit o’weed for the fun of it! Lol

Good comment. I agree with your point. I think in my mind I was thinking about what helps people manage and I believe that alcohol really doesn’t help at all, where as weed and anti-depressants have been known to help. But I guess my own bias snuck in there because you are right. Many people believe alcohol helps and they use it to help. I myself would highly recommend weed over alcohol. No competition for me. Thank you for your comment.

It's a very bleak world sometimes but it's important to never lose sight of what you want, who you are and how you're going to achieve your aspirations. We all face challenges whether they be physical, mental or spiritual and that's okay. No one is perfect and no one ever, or will ever be. You're allowed to make mistakes. You're allowed to grow and learn and change. Both my and your circumstances may very well be depressing and uncomfortable, but nothing lasts forever. I believe there's good in this world if you look for it. If you got weed, then you're one step closer to finding it.

Have a great day.

We are told that we should be happy all the time and if we’re not then we need to find something to change our mood. We won’t allow ourselves to have a bad day or a bout of sadness without stressing out and feeling like there’s something wrong with us. Being numb and spaced out means that you’re missing out on living in the moment and the times that I tried various substances I found that they kept me from feeling anything good or bad. Make your own happy moments and if you’re facing a stressful situation then think about how good you’ll feel when it’s over as opposed to medicating yourself to get through it!

Yes and no in my opinion. I think to a degree it’s become a trend. People will become gay or trans at 13 and then not feel that way when they become adults. It’s also become a safe space for people who have been treated unfairly so people are willing to change their lives to find some sense of comfort. Obviously this doesn’t apply to all or even majority of LGBT+ but there are definitely more than there used to be.

And of those people who arent using weed or anti-depressants, how many of them have another coping addiction (drink, drug, gambling)?

The modern society we have created isnt a good fit for our still very primitive brains. Social pressures, ever changing moral pressures, economic pressures, environmental pressures.

Those who arent coping by use of substances are coping in other ways but are still having their sanity chipped away at by the ever changing world we live in. The world we have created is only good for a small fraction of humans. The rest are left to work, consume, suffer, die. (bleak yes, realistic also yes)
