An interesting video on weed usage, curious to chat about people's experience (www.youtube.com)

I've been a daily smoker for the last 4 years, I had to take some time off for a job and it's shocked me how my dreams have come back. I'm not planning on quitting but I'm probably going to try to stop daily usage. I'm curious how others feel about where they are with their weed usage and how it impacts them. I genuinely forgot what real powerful dreams were like and I ran a sleep study as a part of my university thesis and got to see firsthand how it impacts my REM sleep.

I didn't even realize how my dreams had changed. I would still have occasional dreams but now I have multiple vivid dreams per night. I used to be a lucid dreamer and I'm slowly getting back to that.

i have to admit that i’ve always been attracted by that stuff. have to try stop sinking to sleep tho

Which is super understandable, in the short term I found it could really help me get to sleep. I'll probably still don't occasionally if I'm struggling but I think using it consistently just makes you build a tolerance until it isn't really helping anymore.
