In reply to the discussion: Poll on DUer Pot Usage and the law - Do you use Pot and how would changes in law affect that usage [View all]hunter
(38,702 posts)I've no idea if pot would be an appropriate medication or recreation for me. It's been something I've avoided because of asthma. Smoke, any kind of smoke, tends to set it off.
My usual reaction to mind altering drugs of any sort is to go sleep or go running. I do know oral "brownie" cannabis is the sleepy me.
Running or sleeping must be my most basic uninhibited self.
I do know that prescribed opiates just make me feel sleepy and gross, worse than alcohol.
I've experienced other drugs too (no I.V. except in the hospital, I hate needles) and they were all sort of boring, even the hallucinogens. I can hallucinate fine without drugs, thank you. My dream world is very intense and sometimes impinges upon my waking life too. Voices in my head, strange visions, I ignore those mostly.
I take a few drugs daily to keep me functional. Sadly, they are not fun and have unpleasant side effects like anorgasmia.
But still better than the "off my meds" feral human me.
