I am so glad that you guys get to hide behind the guise of mental illness which is a real thing that people receive real medicine for. I am a huge supporter of real meds for mental illness. It's something I know lots about unfortunately. Just come on and say it you like pot as your recreational drug of choice. It's just not legal. Let's make heroin legal too in the name of freedom. Hell let's all live like a mad max movie that's total freedom you know. My only thing I have against it is I know people who think they are medicating themselves well with pot. They are a wreck. I also hate how it smells I travel a lot and you can't enjoy yourself in lots of stars outside because of the smell of skunk. Unfortunately most people who use harder drugs also use pot. These people also usually have criminal issues. So I am gonna be ok with keeping it the way it has been in Texas since my family came over on a boat. Glad that you think I am a moron.
Seriously, just stop, dude. You have absolutely no clue about what you're talking about.
Many people like myself use it to help us sleep. We aren't getting high all day or using it like a drug to escape reality. Being Bipolar 1, sleep is THE most important thing in my life. If I don't get sleep, I can spiral into a manic episode where I detach from reality and could ultimately lose my job and make terrible life-altering decisions in a poor state of mind.
You say you're ok with meds for mental illness. Guess what, in most cases, medications don't "fix" mental illness. They help with symptom management.
My psychiatrist and therapist ENCOURAGE my use of marijuana because they know how pivotal it is that I sleep.
Oh and I'm sorry you are so inconvenienced by the smell of marijuana. My god, that must be horrible for you. I'll keep you in my prayers for this traumatic experience you have to deal with.
