i enjoyed reading your post. i'd love to know more about this "going clear". in my case, i have noticed that if you persist with cannabis inspite of the anxiety..u somehow come out on "top" ie solve the problem causing anxiety.

yes there are no side effects. i have cold turkeyed twice (once when actually in turkey). and nothing bad happened. even AI was telling nothing bad wud happen. but im usually a light user. say 4 joints a day with 4 grains of # in each.

it doesnt give anxiety. they are already very anxious people.

i find if you persist with it, the anxiety goes away and then you feel cannabis cured me!

It was never the healthy sporty types with fulfilling relationships, good grades or a nice career that smoke cannabis heavily (like daily)

^^ many of those are boring people.

age verificiation is throttling of speech. so the internet becomes again like TV or newspaper. u can transmit with license only. not anonymously.

to see sofas on a plane feels weird when they ask u wear seat belts all the time now due to risks from turbluence (clear air turbulence apparently!).
