I'm glad I'm on the winning team
I've never understood the fight. How could no drugs ever hope to beat yes drugs?
I was a regular dabber for years when I quit cold turkey in anticipation of drug tests during job applications. I was completely sober for 8 months and when I got hired without a drug test I was so mad. I was expecting more drastic changes during sobriety but the only thing I noticed was the return of dreams. I hadn't really noticed their absence during my decades of cannabis use but while sober they were much more vivid and outlandish than I remember them being. They've since disappeared again once I resumed dabbing shortly after starting work.
Sooo vivid. Like too vivid. Like scarringly vivid. Be careful easing off the pot, that's all I'll say.
I was also taking prozac when I was easing off weed. I had a zombie Apocalypse and meth addict dad, they were very vivid and frightening. I asked my psychologist abt it and she added a different med, they didn't work. I felt less depressed and anxious so I came off Prozac and smoking again. No more dreams, that I can remember.
I quit vaping wax recently because I was tired of goldfish brain and, on top of my memory returning, the most noticeable shift was the return of dreams.
I actually dreamed that I ate an edible and freaked out, only to realize I was in a dream. It's the closest I've come to lucid dreaming in a very long time.
This is me too. Being a software engineer and a daily smoker for over 10 years was not doing me any favors lol
the only thing I noticed was the return of dreams
Same thing happened to me. I quit wake-and-baking about five and a half years ago because I felt it had just taken over too much of my life. Shortly afterward I became a school bus driver, which requires an initial drug screening and then you're subject to random tests thereafter. I'm a little pissed that I've never been selected for the random test, which means I could have been happily puffing away for the last five years.
The dreams are insanely weird and happen every time I sleep, even just a short nap. Most of the dreams are about me messing up driving a school bus and losing my job; one dream was me driving through high school hallways with kids scattering in all directions while thinking I really shouldn't be doing this. I never dreamed at all when I was smoking.
Let's go drukqs!
War on drugs do not aim at reducing drug trasfic nor drug use. We all know it has never been effective anywhere for any drug.
We also know that treating drug as a medical problem is the best way to reduce both use and traffic.
War on drugs are just a way to force dealers to become more professional, and avoid “freelance” ones. War on drugs are a pure win for drugs, from their start.
And to feed the prison industrial complex, of course.
I see it as a direct continuation of:
Slavery->Sharecropping and Jim Crow->mass incarceration
Slavery never ended. The name just changed to be more polite, with a fig leaf of freedom and free will. Additionally we realized two things:
-
It's more economical to hold slaves in large central facilities than dispersed.
-
The best way to fight abolitionism is to convince the populace that the slaves deserve it.

It pays minimum wage with the barest benefits legally possible, with an inexperienced manager who thinks a boss should be a inconsistent tyrant. And it's offered through a website that is far more interested in scraping whatever data it can find than actually matching people with jobs.
But yeah, it's the drug testing that's the issue.
I mean, you'd have to be on something to take a job like that.
Where I live, they already had frozen hirings.
My company is hiring and I don't think we drug test at all. If anybody in Los Angeles wants to make sheet metal, PM me.
Dam you're cool, real equitable help. GL in life and I hope you win.
