If anyone here is like me and suffers from poor mental health and smokes weed. Quit immediately (doesn't even have to be for good; just give it a month or two away from it) and start exercising. I used to be trapped in my bedroom smoking weed all day every day, moaning about how unhealthy I was. Then I quit weed, and after the psychological withdrawal (prepare for intense paranoia and a complete lack of a sense of humour. Warn your friends beforehand) passed (took me 5 or 6 days), I found an enjoyable form of exercise.
For me, it is brisk walking/power walking and Tai Chi.
Massive improvement almost as soon as I quit (I am not kidding you, the week or so after you quit will be brutal, like Scarface meets Trainspotting) and goes hand in hand with other things in my life, but it is the thing that has had the most impact/best decision in my entire adult life.
The drugs don't work; they just make you worse.
Luckily, haven’t tried any kind of drugs or any sip of alcohol in my whole life, yet something I have failed to do is to implant exercising in my time in the last 20 years or so. As a result, I became overweight lately with no stamina at all! Seriously, taking a 10 steps up the stairs became a bit of a challenge and this is happening before I even reach 40! Sexual life and breathing is starting to take a hit tbh 🤣 which was what triggered the “I have to do something about this!” Bell. I’ve been advised by the doctors is to start doing crossfit exercises 5 hours a week. I was told that I would feel an obvious improvement and difference in just one month.
So, yeah I think you’re absolutely right. Substituting weeds for exercising was a very smart decision.
