I also don't get why alcohol is acceptable and never will. Its amazing what happens when politicians, teachers and police push "reefer madness" for decades all while never giving an honest assessment of alcohol and letting it be constantly advertised on TV commercials, movies and sporting events.
With cold turkey from alcohol, you can seize and die and with prolonged use your liver will slowly be destroyed until you also die.
Not one day goes by where there isn't someone with an alcohol related issue in my emergency room. I've seen someone coming in who overdid it on weed ONE single time in 10 years and they literally just gave him a Xanax and let him ride it out. He had no physical harm.
Weed on the other hand might as well be water, but people still look at me as some drug user because of very uninformed stigma that still follows it around.
In other news though, I am trying to cut back a little. That one day the irritability was just beyond acceptable. I'm very irritable at baseline, so adding on withdrawal effects was making it unbearable. I'll never give up my beloved Mary Jane, but I'm going to lean on CBD a little more going forward.
