i haven’t been thinking about weed. i havent smoked in 6 years or so, but for most of that time i would think about doing so 2 or 3 times a week. i have even considered moving to michigan and growing my own where it is legal. but lately i’ve been enjoying my sober mind and think maybe this is better than a toke after work. so instead of moving north and freezing my ass off, i think well maybe florida or georgia would be a better place for me.

I think this will be my next and final stop after where I’m at now.
Sometimes I wish I was 15 years older so I’d fit in better with the retirees in FL. Sounds rediculous to to want to throw away 15 good years down the drain to get old I know…

did you see florida just raised the state minimum wage to $15/hr, i wonder if things will get more expensive there. and i do anticipate they will legalize weed in the next 10 years though. but i have family there, and it’s warm, i could maybe afford a 1 bedroom condo, semi close to the beach. its crazy, condos there are cheaper than my hometown where a 2bedroom 2 bath place goes for no less 170k. and i think why would i buy that when i can be on the beach. of course there are hurricanes to worry about. and if i ever get a horticulture degree, i could work on a golf course year round and wouldnt get laid off each winter.
but i sometimes have the same thought as you, that i can’t wait to get into a 55 and over community haha.
Sounds like you’re doing well. I’m from Michigan. Not much sunshine here. Usually it’s overcast. I think moving elsewhere is a good idea. I mean Michigan has a lot of beautiful nature, but the overcast days are tough on people

yeah thanks for the insight, that’s the same reason why i didn’t move to the pacific northwest, i need me some sunshine fairly regularly or else my mood drops.

Does weed make you psychotic? It does for me so I hate it now.

That’s like where I’m from. I ended up buying a 3br ranch with a 1 car attached garage in the boonies for under 80k. Its suprisingly nice too. But I get annoyed that everyone in town has spent their whole life here and nobody really looking meet new people. That’s the one thing I didn’t know about small town Midwest before moving out here.
Coastal towns get expensive in Florida because of high property insurance because of the hurricanes. I never leave the house so I don’t need ‘stuff to do,’ so I like to maximize house/$ ratio.
Ocala, FL I think is all retirees but you can build a house there for under $130,000. Health care is supposed to suck down there.

i’ve smoked hundreds of times in my 20s. it never made me psychotic until my last time where i started to hear all my friends voices coming from different locations outside. it also gives me racing thoughts, when i first started smoking i would just smoke and watch a movie, or listen to music, or play my guitar, the last time was not enjoyable at all, so i don’t know if it was a one off thing or what. anyways i haven’t smoked since, and have been on meds for 5 years now. but i was still thinking about it quite a bit, thinking of the good times.

Ha. I was convinced that when I was smoking weed in my early 20s it was the best time of my life.
But now I think it’s because I was always on my bicycle. In the summers I was running an endorphin high ALL day.
I’d ride my bike 20 miles then go work at UPS lifting 70#-150# packages for 5 hours. I did all this while smoking ciggys too.
Idk how I did it
