Yikes. I can totally understand if they never forgive you. As someone who makes edibles, tinctures, salves and other cannabis products for friends and family I never assume anything and I certainly don’t base other peoples tolerance or expectations on what I do for myself. 250 mg per piece is fucking nonsense to give out to people who you don’t absolutely know how cannabis effects them.

250 mg edibles would wreck 90% of the population and if you knew ahead of time the potency of the edibles and you let folks eat them without taking great care and a detailed explanation (and tell them to eat small pieces to start) of what to expect you shouldn’t be allowed to make edibles for anyone other than yourself.

It is always better to ramp up a dose than to eat the whole thing and hope for the best.

it's not good to smoke every day as a teen. you're gonna feel like you have dementia in your 20's!

Yea ur being shady. Only a shady person would use a cash advance on a credit card to out it into savings.

Yeah many variations and always important everyone is on the same page. We had one at work and it was meant to be everyone bringing in a good item that people could steal. I told my coworker planning it she probably should clarify it with everyone. She didn’t think it was necessary. She was pissed when she opened a ugly plastic planter that no one stole. That was the only item that someone brought in that was a white elephant. Of course I thought but didn’t say, see I told you that could happen.

ive been smoking dab pens every day since I've been 17, I'm 22 now and my memory is seriously fucked and I struggle to remember simple things and forget what I'm saying mid conversation so easily

ik you don't wanna hear "dont smoke weed as a teen!!!" but it's better than feeling like you're gonna end up dementia in your mid 20's

I hate when that happens

Consider yourself lucky that they didn't call it "dirty Santa", as some offices do. THAT could have been a major league TIFU.

"Very invasive" has a meaning that could very easily be connected to discomfort and feeling like they're expected to be vulnerable in an environment that doesn't feel safe to them. This is also a teenager who may not even recognize that that's the issue they're having, or may not want to share that readily with a bunch of strangers on the internet. Generally people who have therapy forced on them rather than presented as an option aren't too open to it, especially if it's forced on them by the very people they're having issues with, which could easily be the case here. We don't know.

What I'm saying is that it's not helpful for you to jump to negative conclusions about this person without knowing any of the details. People don't refuse needed help for no reason, so the fact that this person needs help and still isn't open to the help that's being offered to them means there's a barrier there. We don't know what the barrier is, but just assuming it's a character flaw isn't helpful. It places blame without offering any solutions (other than arguably "stop whining", which is really just telling this person to shut down even more rather than open up). My suggestion to you is to hold back on the judgements in the future and assume the best of who you're interacting with unless they give you legitimate reason not to. Advice given from that perspective is so much more likely to be helpful than advice that comes from the assumption that there's just something wrong with someone and they need to fix their attitude.

At least it wasn't midget porn.

Reading this as if Russell Peters is telling the story with accents and mannerisms makes it way funnier.

Well, the reason they gave is as follows, quoted directly from the OP:

>It is very invasive and takes up most of my time only giving me 3 hours of Freetime a day.

If they gave some reason they were uncomfortable with this therapy then you'd be absolutely right, and I'd never accuse someone of whining about that. That is not what this is.

I also would never criticize an adult using marijuana under legitimate medical advice, or even an adult using it recreationally. Again, that's not what this is.

You make a perfectly valid point, and there are plenty of cases where deliberately belittling someone's perspective on the situation would be counterproductive. I simply don't agree that this reads like one.

dude gave solid advice. Maybe you should mind your own business.

"Quit whining" is rarely if ever helpful advice to someone who needs help. As someone who was in a similar position as a teen: you have absolutely no clue what this person is dealing with, or why they're not comfortable with the therapy that's being offered. Assuming that all of the blame is on them and they're just being lazy and ungrateful is not only unhelpful, it's actively damaging. You're telling someone they need help while going out of your way to be hurtful to them. That's a very shitty thing to do.

ETA I sincerely do think you're trying to help and I don't mean to be aggressive, I've just been on the receiving end of this type of advice enough to know that it absolutely is not helpful.

Dont get further down by reddit people . Nobody knows what therapy you are doing, who you are etc etc etc. If you left the therapy part out people wouldnt be that judgementful about you but say hey...shit friend and upvote you blah blah. See it as a vent post and ignore the noise/switch of from this post and try to relax/do something you enjoy to feel better buddy. All the best to you and your progress. One day at a time :)

Getting the shit sweats is like watching all the water recede from a beach after an earthquake, you know you need to move fast to avoid the oncoming wave of... well, shit.

That's incredibly depressing and I don't think we should be impressing it on young people as the norm that they should expect and prepare for. People deserve time to relax, time to explore our passions, time to spend on relationships and projects and things that matter to us. It's very true that many people don't have nearly enough time to themselves, but that shouldn't be lauded as some marker of "real adulthood" because it fucking sucks and we really ought to at least try to do better for ourselves.

I'll get off my soapbox now, but damn. Just makes me so sad sometimes, the shit we accept for ourselves.
