I began smoking weed at 17. I smoked it for years and one day, around the age of 30, I stopped. It was mainly because I was convinced I was an alcoholic and a drug addict. I quite everything for five years. Then began indulging occasionally, then almost daily.

I recently detoxed for a drug screen, for a job. I passed the drug screen and I’m subjected to drug screens at any time. It’s a really good job and I wish that wasn’t the case. I Smoke occasionally or vape but it’s not legal in our state. Edibles help me sleep and I use CBD ointment for sore muscles. I may take a hit or two once in a while off a vape pen or a bowl. I don’t seem to feel anything from smoking or vaping.

My husband has been smoking for several years. He’s retired so doesn’t have to worry about drug screens. He has PTSD from being bullied as a child and OCPD also from childhood. He says it helps slow his thoughts down and helps with pain.
