I was never a big fan of alcohol.
When I first started college that was the thing that almost everyone consumed in parties.
They were often big campus-wide parties on the weekends where people would make these alcoholic mixtures in big plastic tubs. It still amazes me all the germs I was exposed to that year. Once I hit 21, all my friends wanted to go to bars on the weekends! Aside from the pricey cost, I just wasn’t a fan of this much drinking; Usually when I would drink enough alcohol to get buzzed, it would supply me this experience not as the spins; You would close your eyep and it feels like the room around you is spinning in a circle. Some people can handle this experience, but for me it’s harshly uncomfortable and disorienting. I would much rather use cannabis instead of alcohol. Whenever I’m smoking marijuana, it calms my mind and my body and it makes me feel so much better, granted, if I use too much marijuana it’ll make me so sleepy that I cannot function. But using sativa strains of cannabis and only allowing myself to use a particular amount can go a long way towards ensuring I do not have a bad experience with the plant. And if I save the strains of cannabis that sedate me for use late at evening, I never have to worry about suffering from insomnia, and just a few strong hits off of a joint of cannabis flower buds and I’m able to go to sleep immediately.
