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.

    Thanks for sharing. I had an easier time of it (maybe only a year of daily use), but never regretted cutting back.

    It always concerned me a bit to see people glorifying daily use so much back on /r/trees. In retrospect, I don’t have many fond memories of that time, and I think it made it harder to address the root mental health issues.

      Yeah I was probably at about an ounce every 2 weeks at the worst. And I totally agree, weed culture makes it too easy to ignore any negative aspects of smoking it all the time.
