re: Replacing alcohol with Marijuana.

In 2016 I was out in Seattle for a work conference. I used to smoke weed in HS and some in early college. I was a stoner. But once I got out of it (around 20 yr old), I’d rarely smoke… And for most of my adulthood, I rarely smoked weed.

Then in 2015 in Seattle I had to go to a dispensary… I haven’t smoked in forever, but the kid in me had to go see a dispensary. {Note I I just ripped a bong hit so this is a little wordy). I left w/ a vape pen. I hit it a few times and called my wife to tell her I think I may have solved my snoring issues.

I was a heavy beer drinker before that.. ie drink a 12pk of Miller Lite Fri, Sat, and drank some during the week. Even though I always exercised, my diet sucked. First I had to cut my alcohol consumption 85%. Then I had to clear my house of any snacks. Then I got into keto and fasting.

Since 2017, I’ve been a daily user and I had to learn the Jedi mind trick of not snacking while I get high every night.

But I’m so happy that i”ve cut my beer consumption. Edibles kill my craving for beer. If I drink, I’ll drink 2-3 beers, and it’ll be worthwhile… at a social event, not some random Tuesday. I treat beer like a cheat meal. I prepare by fasting before or planning to after.

I’m in my late 40s. I treat my drinking nights like Tiger Woods plans his golf events. I look at a calendar and see if there are consecutive weekends of social events… if there are, I make sure to pay back what I owe…

I’d recommend concentrates over smoking bud. Just my opinion.
