I'm super pro MC but some of the clientele are so stereotypical. The stuff is meant to chill you out.

I've worked with so many pot heads who're utter cunts when they're dry.

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'm related (by marriage) to potheads that are super high strung when not stoned. I know that weed isn't really physically addictive, but the psychological addiction in their case bad. Like bad, bad.

[–] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 7 points 6 months ago

It definitely causes some pretty bad physical withdrawal symptoms if you're an all day every day smoker like I used to be. Sweating, agitation, inability to sleep, feeling very tense physically. It's not pleasant at all.

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 7 points 6 months ago

God yes. They say it isn't addictive, but it certainly is psychologically at least. And when some people go without, the withdrawal assholery is next level

This may actually explain some of the shit I get subjected to here (but not all of it)

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That, and meth. It's always meth.

[–] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 4 points 6 months ago

Probably some of it is. Not for all though.

There’s definitely substance abuse but could be a lot more going on

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 6 points 6 months ago

Ikr! That's how it works for me, chills me out so flashbacks are less intense and I can sleep at night lol. Means I can study, hang out with mates, engage with some hobbies, without feeling constantly exhausted and beaten.

Then there's some people who are just, such stereotypes. They lack the self awareness to see it too. Maybe they're gaming the system, maybe not, but they're just cunts no matter what.
