Are "digital nomads" the larger percentage of people moving abroad that can basically just choose the country based on likes and dislikes as opposed to where their career fits the most? It seems to me as if digital nomadism is leading the trend of moving to other countries, but I could be wrong since I'm the exact opposite of a digital nomad. I'm hoping someone can fill me in on this since I'd love to leave the USA but my career would either be difficult to transfer or it wouldn't transfer at all. Thanks!

I vote for Joey Baron. Holy shit he's such a good drummer and always seems like he's having the best time ever

Another bad wreck on 126 out to Florence. There are bad auto wrecks, often fatal, every week in the Eugene area. You'd think more people would start driving responsibly but it seems to be heading in the other direction :(

And Please don't compare Eugene to other cities, how they are much worse in regards to crazy driving. I see lots of, "well I just moved here and you should see how bad it is ___ and ___" on posts about driving in Oregon. Most of those people complaining are new or new-ish arrivals to the state. I only say this because it's a popular thing from out of staters that move here and complain how much slower people drive here. That's not what this post is about. It's about here in greater Eugene and this is a Eugene specific page, where we are, and this is where these accidents I'm complaining about are happening. Yes accidents happen in other cities and yes some other cities have more traffic due to more population. But those cities have always been faster moving and perhaps people are just used to driving fast, and often, the roads are more equipped for higher rates of speeding and passing one another. Eugene isn't, and as the population landscape changes, the driving habits have shifted and it's stupid to drive so fast in a city where most of the speed limits are 20/25 in the denser parts of town. Doing 75 -85 on the way to Florence is reckless and there's no need to put others' lives in extra danger. If you've ever been in a bad auto wreck you'd know what I'm saying.

By the way, people in Portland do think that folks in Eugene drive a bit crazy. That says something right there.

They do put on a bunch of great shows. But, if you can't make it to a show, don't expect to get your ticket money back. They won't email nor message you back. What a crappy thing to do.

I've been burning flower pretty hard for about 28 years, flowers via joints, bowls, and bong rips. I've loved cannabis since I first smoked it and it's been a major part of my lifestyle but never impeded with my motivations.

I've stopped for a year before, 6 months a different time, and didn't really freak out about not having it since I feel my mindset is more powerful than my need for the plant.

That said, I'm working on quitting simply for lung health. I've always been very active and took up road biking to counteract my smoking habit. The cycling wasn't a problem for my lungs as I could ride steep hills up and down for 90 min several days per week and not feel like I was getting crushed by the strenuous activity.

Google searches say that high activity won't stop the harmful effects of smoking weed. I'm really wondering more about this- I'd like to smoke again because I enjoy the taste and the activity of sharing a joint with friends...but if quitting smoking will help me to breathe better overall, then I'm game for stopping. Like I said, I could hold my breath for about 2-3 minutes no problem, cycle up very steep climbs no problem, and even took up running recently and the hardest thing is the legs getting beat up on these hills, but my lungs weren't bitching at me.

Are my lungs actually in better health than usual for a weed smoker? I've had stress tests and they told me that I'm in great shape, more than they usually see come into them for a test. Or am I still coated with tars inside these airbags?

A recent flu virus with a cough is motivating me to stop. I also recently started to cough with almost every bong hit (before the flu) so I'm probably doing the right thing at the right time?

To be honest, I won't quit taking edibles because I do benefit from cannabis products but I will miss the act of smoking, especially strains with great flavors.

To add to my question- I really do firmly believe I don't have a mental addiction to cannabis, as I can stop at will and not freak out at all about not having it. I enjoy it. I enjoy the taste, sharing of joints, growing it. It never kills my motivation and in fact I've always been into new hobbies. I don't avoid talking with certain people because I'm under the influence, etc.. I would quit merely for health reasons.

if so, how is it?
