I haven’t had alcohol in over 20 years. I didn’t have a bad experience or anything, although I was always a bit cautious due to my father’s alcoholism, but the effects just weren’t that enticing. It may have just been the associations I had with it, but I could never really relax and enjoy it.
Over this past weekend I had a 10mg THC gummy on both Friday and Saturday night – which I find pleasantly relaxing and a good way to turn down the run away brain processes. It’s a completely different experience for me and I know which one I prefer.
I’m also apparently capable of making good choices while stoned. I’m on an eye medication that I take by drops during the bulk of the day, but by a cream on the inside of the eyelid (yeah, I know) right before bed. Friday and Saturday I used the drops instead of the cream at bed because I had enough sense to know that trying to apply the cream would end badly!
