Would you rather feel low-key dissatisfied
Would you rather feel low-key dissatisfied
With your life, or artificially happy, knowing it’s temporary?
To be clear, this post is semi-autobiographical. My life’s not bad, just kind of dull. Recreational cannabis use is legal. Am I wrong to enjoy it? Should I focus on improving my life instead of getting high?

I agree with a lot of the posts here. It can be great to relax, but try not to use it as a crutch. I'm this way with alcohol. I don't reccomend shaming yourself for your vices and coping mechanisms, but look closely at what it's doing to you and try to keep it under control. Set rules, arbitrary as they may have to be, to make sure you can improve your life and enjoy it while you do it. Maybe workout, volunteer, or work on a hobby first. Maybe as simple as no weed on weeknights and/or during the day. If you break the rules you set, don't feel ashamed, just acknowledge it and move forward. Some people when trying to improve their habits will "break a streak" then feel like they failed and give up.
Yes, good advice. I volunteer and work out and have a hobby (diving) that I’m taking a break from while I’m busy at work. I guess I need to find balance again.
