Depends on the person and tolerance. My wife gets blitzed on 5mg. I have to give her a sliver of an edible that's probably no more than 2mg, otherwise she's toast.
I can handle 25mg pretty decently, definitely won't be completely plastered but I'll be high af.
I'm used to stacking up 2-4 different psychoactive vices at a time though like a true partytime bro. Me and Charlie Sheen, and a few others here.
That chocolate bar was 1000mg and I didn't bring any home

Yeah, I figured that. I will cut them in fours and then cut them up also. Makes around 1.5mg per piece. I'll start there and see.
And Dave, I agree with your comment. I've seen my doctor and she put me on Buspirone. It is really working for me. I want the Hemp to curve my drive for alcohol in the evenings. My liver is begging me to quit drinking and so is my blood work
Try exercise. Substituting one substance for another is still masking the problem. Find out what's driving you to drink if you're only using booze to cope with things.
Booze and every other substance should be fun.
1.5mg of THC is just lighting money on fire. DMK I tell you huhwhat. 25mg is a good Tuesday dose if one wants to remain in control of the situation. 50-100 is where it gets fun. Don't @ me
I just can't seem to dial in how much edible to take, but I also take it at night and I fall asleep by the time it really kicks in and I feel groggy in the morning. I prefer carts, I know with most strains I can take 1-2 hits and within minutes feel good. Except Slurricane. That shit is strong, named appropriately.
I think it’s good to explore weed/hemp/delta8 as possible medication to change your mindset and get you on a different path.
Fwiw, I’m a big fan of alcohol as well, and one hit of modern weed makes me trip out. Things go black and time distorts. It’s too much for me. Try some hemp. The terpines can be strong enough to make you think differently.
My wife doesn’t tolerate big time drinking, so that put a stop to my bad drinking.

Man I used to be pretty anti-med until I saw the difference in quality of life buspirone made for my wife. It’s so night and day for her that I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t witness it first hand. If anxiety is an issue that one is definitely a game changer in my limited exposure to it.

Heroin is something you can just dip your toe into.
Like murder.
Just be aware that if you DO dip your toe into heroin, suddenly everyone around you will be a disappointment since you'll be SO on point that no one can keep up with you.

My suggestion would be to make your way over to Illinois and go to a dispensary. Get some Indica 5 mg gummies and try very small amounts at first, like 1/4 of a gummy. Also don't do the thing almost everyone does and keep taking more because you don't feel it yet and then end up high out of your mind an hour later. Edibles take time to kick in, give em that time before going deeper.
Also consider getting a cartridge of Indica and let them know your specific concerns. You can really dial in your dose and hit size with proper selection of the cartridge and controls on the battery.
Pre-legalization in Illinois I remember the local CBD store / head shops had hemp joints for sale. Got them twice and they were super mild so it might be something worth trying.
Personally I never smoke, rarely vape, and sometimes take edibles (like once a month maybe) and I much prefer edibles over anything else. Its a quite different experience than smoking but I'm always much less paranoid than if I smoke or vape.
This.
I got a 5:1 vape cart that I love. It’s 50% cbd and like 11% thc. I can take a few pulls and just feel super relaxed with a mild buzz
I have stronger ones I like as well, but as someone that took like 10 years off I only touch those occasionally. I have no tolerance anymore and with work and a toddler I really have to set aside time to get that baked lol

AA truly is rock bottom. Hanging out with other losers is not the path to success.

If you're microdosing, aren't you still stuck with your feet in stark reality
That’s a fair point and yes a macrodose will be the most paradigm shifting. That’s a tall order for a lot of people though and most can’t imagine themselves ever going on one of those stigmatized “trips”.
Microdoses are also effective though at changing day to day habits and routines without even really landing on your own radar as putting you in a different state of mind. You still feel like you but you do start taking different actions. It’s a mood and productivity drug when you take .1-.2 grams. My drinking and other habits started changing after starting it. Been doing it for months and I drink and smoke way less.

LOL. I don’t need AA. I’m fucking bored. All my friends are dead and my life sucks right now. Thinking about going back to work. I do need to lay off the beer because I have fatty liver and booze is a no-no. Thinking a bit of MILD weed would be a nice sub. In my younger years I smoked pot a lot. Then, it became too strong and it made me paranoid. This is when I started drinking. I hate reality:). Need a buzz sometimes

I did AA for less than 2 years. The people in there were better than the real losers who sit on bar stools and tell everyone their big plans that are 15 years in the making. That being said, that time away from the bar was enough to not make have fomo of the bar. Then I found my soon to be wife who drinks 10 times a year and it was gravy after that.
TL/Dr; AA is fine for people who really need it and good for people who need some people going through the same shit. But, I wouldn't make it my new bar.
Yeah I never tried AA or felt like I needed it at all. But I've known a few people who improved their lives through it so it definitely works for some people.
Pepi, I think you're on the right track by thinking of going back to work. Retirement is not for everyone, it drives some people crazy and it literally kills some people.
Find something you enjoy doing since money is not the main concern. Even volunteering can be great. At the raptor center I volunteered at we had a number of retiree volunteers. Or maybe even go back to your old field Whatever works for you But get out of the house man.
