Responsible Cannabis Use Basics #2: My Rules for Cannabis Use
Establishing an evolving set of rules to keep cannabis use life enriching.
“Is marijuana addictive? Yes, in the sense that most of the really pleasant things in life are worth endlessly repeating.”
-Richard Neville
The problem with the above quote is that it can just as easily be applied to heroin.
Whether psychologically or physically, there’s no doubt in my mind that cannabis is addictive, exerting a subtle pressure to consume it more and more often. And I would venture that for most people, excessive cannabis use is life impoverishing.
But at the same time, I know that cannabis can be a tremendously life-enriching force, which I want to keep in my life.
This is why I need rules to keep my use in check and to make the most of this wonderful plant, despite the gravitational pull of addiction.
And at least for me, this cannot be attained with a simple, static rule or policy. If there’s one thing my brain is good at, it’s finding loopholes to do things that are pleasurable in the short term, like consuming cannabis or browsing Reddit.
That’s why I need a robust stack of rules, which I keep augmenting and tweaking to plug holes as they appear. On this page, I’ll endeavor to maintain the current, up-to-date stack of rules I’m adhering to. I’ll also share updates on any rules that did not work out.
Have a great weekend, y’all! 🌿 👋🏻
