Good! It’s not a real crime like murder or whatever, mind your business!

Because drugs dealers and growers are well known to be law abiding citizens that break no other laws such as trafficking, abduction or murder. Those Mexican cartels are just misunderstood

Obviously, everyone on reddit gets their weed from an ethically sourced eco-hippy.

Uk medical is not better than black market as it lacks a lot of terpenes and it’s also more expensive typically looking at £8.50 per gram where as black market is around £5-£6 per gram. You do need real medical conditions and you need at least two failed conventional treatments tried first.

ive been smoking weed for 10 years daily easily smoking 4g a day

i was "addicted" to weed

My friend, clearly you are addicted to weed, so why the sarcastic quotes? Don't delude yourself into thinking you don't have a serious problem - 4g a day will seriously fuck up your mental health long term. Guess how I know!!

ibsr i stopped caring like 5 years ago, i already have memory issues from the bud. sad thing is if i could afford more i would, my ideal for daily smoke is 7g, 4g aint really that much its only 4 zoots.

I get you, and I'm not having a go, just wanted to call it what it is. For me, when I was smoking multiple grams a day I wasn't really enjoying it any more, but would feel worse if I stopped. Being lean all day meant I'm content but emotionally blunted, which meant I don't get much out of the rest of life.

It gets you through the day and there's worse things to abuse, but really I was avoiding processing a bunch of trauma and grief. It got better eventually with good friends and a therapist. Maybe can do for you at some point

"everything u said is completely incorrect. medical IS better and stronger with more thc content and thats a fact. "

No, it isn't. I can get black market weed from California that blows medical UK perscribed weed out of the water. I have a prescription but mostly use the black market.

You're funny. A bit early to be stoned though, isn't it?
