I know you're realising you fucked up, but you really fucked up. You came very close to killing yourself and your family. I hope it weighs heavy. You should start seriously considering changing your lifestyle. If you were in my family and you did that, and my kids were in the house, you are never coming back until you are years sober.

I've lost 3 friends to weed. I know that sounds stupid, but they were all long term smokers, 2 developed some kind of psychosis and killed themselves (within a week of each other) and the 3rd drove into a tree, without a seatbelt and died a few weeks later. It's no coincidence they were all heavy smokers in their mid 40s with 25 years of daily use behind them.

I don't gaf who laughs at me for saying it but long term weed habit can cause real harm. You find me a long term weed smoker with normal brain function and tell me it's perfectly fine...

In this instance, the same thing would have happened if she wanted a midnight snack even if she wasn’t smoking weed. It’s completely dependent on her not knowing how gas burners work and not listening for the “click” when turning it off.

Pretty stupid the flame was able to be put out while gas was still going through.

Hi hi hi working on my master’s degree and on the dean’s list. I also work 3 jobs and have a functional life. I smoke a lot of pot and have for more than a decade. I’m sorry about your friends but they are exceptions not the rule.

I mean one of those: the driver doesn’t clearly have anything to do with cannabis use, and with your other friends there’s very weak evidence linking long term cannabis use with psychosis, if there is going to be a psychotic break then the user will experience it early on and it’s most likely genetically related AND very likely to happen in any case. It seems like you might just being using anecdotal evidence to justify your already existing conclusions about a substance.
