Hey folks! I hope you’re all having a lovely day.

I just wanted to take a second to appreciate you all and this sub. I’ve been going through a lot of extremely difficult life changes lately (physical health domino-effecting everything else to fall apart lol) and coming to this sub has been incredibly useful and empowering.

Thank you for the pet photos, the strain recs, the silly videos and the virtual passes. Thank you for uplifting each other, even when things in our lives seem hopeless and impossible. I really, really appreciate it.

My health has taken the ability to show up in my physical community, which has brought a lot of despair and frustration. People like The Entwives making virtual spaces like this is so incredibly important and I am forever grateful.

Thank you especially to our wonderful moderation team who are always in the comments and posting themselves, providing spaces for us to chat and helping mediate discussion.

Dearest ents, thank you all. Consider this a virtual passes of gratitude from me to you. <3

I gently handed my freshly packed Solo 3 to my wonderful roommate, to enjoy that terp heavy first hit. She drew slowly, smiled, and in her stoned and happy state said "terpelectable."

Yeah, we've all been there, amirite? :)

Hi everyone! This is a post for questions and hopefully some answers

We want to have a space where those new to the sub can ask questions and get some answers if they aren't able to post yet. And for our long time members, maybe you have a question you don't want to make a whole post for. Or maybe you have an answer!

This post is intended for cannabis or subreddit related questions. Other inquiries will be directed to google!

Y’all I’m sorry - I don’t know who else to vent to. We have been going through it!! I am having to apply for disability and my dude finally finds a new job today, only to get a text from our landlord that they want us out because we “flooded their basement.” The backstory there is that the washer was clogged and backed up. We cleaned it up ourselves and told him right away. He told us we could keep using it while waiting for the repairman and it flooded again. We wouldn’t have used it if he hadn’t told us it was safe. And now he wants us out because of it.

Anyway, we are totally dry. We don’t even have the money for toilet paper or food, and he is giving us 5 weeks to find a new place to live. Plus, we are in Vermont and there is almost nothing available for rent. Especially not within driving distance of my dude’s new job.

Of course we would run out of herb midday… 😭😭😭

Literally other than needing to vent, if y’all have any advice I would appreciate it

Hey Wives! We know that the feeds are looking a little bleak as of late, and we wanted to create a collection of joyous and hopeful moments. Look for this thread every Monday and start the week on a positive note! 🌈

Tell us something hopeful or joyous that's happened to you in the last week! A heartwarming thing happen in your family? Community? Did your pet do something super cute? Share it here!

^(Take a break from politics and unrest - keep it light in the comments (we have a whole thread on Sundays for the political stuff if that's your jam). Also, don’t forget to clean your bongs. We love you.) ^(🖤)

For reference i’m 23, i just bought the peak pro and naturally feel like a little girl with a new toy…. My family is kind of anti cannabis as they are hardcore hispanic but i’ve been leaving breadcrumbs and last night my mom came into my room while i was mid rip, in the dark, peak lights shining bright, she had no reaction, she’s like that’s what your up to now? and left. lol i’ve never been more confused, but i can’t be bothered to bring the topic back up. Have you guys had similar experiences?? how did family /friends react?? my sister knows but lowkey judges? i’m not in a legal or rec state but i feel like so many in my circle are so closed minded about it

What is the surprise, you ask? Well... remember that post where we asked what you wanted? Really, realllly wanted?

Things to know about Tolerance Breaks!

Yes, your dreams are more vivid and you are remembering them better. Its not your imagination. Thc can inhibit rem sleep and interfere with dreaming. If you're struggling with the dreams you can try drinking green tea, which contains the amino acid L-theanine. L-theanine has been shown to reduce stress levels in the brain and body, reducing the rate of nightmares.

Another way to help with sleep is finding cbn products. Its a cannabinoid similar to cbd, but well known for having some serious sedative properties. If you're struggling to get to sleep cbn could help sort you out.

And its important to remember that if you have an issue you see a psychiatrist for, ask your doctor for help. There are prescription medications that can reduce or eliminate nightmares. But also remember to be cautious about disclosing your cannabis use - unfortunately there can still be consequences for revealing that information to the wrong doctor.

Cbd is a thing and it can help a lot. Not only does it reduce anxiety, which hits a lot of us in the first week or two of a break, its also a pretty powerful anti-inflammatory. So if you're using cannabis for pain management adding topical and edible cbd to your routine, on and off break, could help a great deal

Everyone t-breaks their own way. A tolerance break doesn't have to mean complete abstinence. Reducing your consumption can reduce your tolerance, too. So don't feel intimidated or like its all or nothing. Tell yourself you won't get high until after noon for three days. Then you won't get high until after 2pm. See how far you're comfortable going, and stop there for a while. There are a lot of ways to do it, so if you need suggestions please ask!

Keeping taking time for yourself. You know how you'd make the time for yourself to get high? Keeping making the time for yourself to do something. Make an especially good drink and sit and really enjoy it in your favorite chair while listening to your favorite song. Give yourself a face mask. Meditate for 10 minutes. Spend ten minutes a couple times a day just on you. Whatever it is that will make your day a little better. Its important to take care of yourself in ways that don't involve cannabis

Don't get down on yourself if you make a mistake and get high. It happens, and its not the end of the world. Its not even the end of your break if you don't want it to be. Enjoy your high while you have it. And in the morning figure out what you need to do to keep from making that mistake again. Do you need to hide all the paraphernalia in a cupboard, or ask your roommate or partner to stop smoking around you for a while? Maybe you need a different or better coping mechanism? Dude, google that shit. There is a world of information about healthy coping mechanisms at your fingertips. Empower yourself and go find it. Or ask me and I'll try to help

The most important thing to know about a tolerance break is that you're going to get through it. It might not feel like it sometimes, but you will. Then you'll be back here all, oh shit I just got high for the first time since my tbreak and the number 5 is orange and smells like...waffles! And we'll all chuckle with you and be kinda jealous :)
