While I've been a non-weed smoker for a very long time, I do have a point of view that may be helpful: Weed is an anxiety reliever. Social events can cause anxiety in many of us. And that's no reflection on our partners or friends. It just IS.
I take anxiety meds, and they help. But for many people, weed is a simple and easy (and now legal in lots of places) substitute that works.
You're right, I have been told it's to, "help me relax". I don't use weed to relax, I guess I'm expecting someone else to do what I do. Which is wrong.
I get it....if someone can never be totally straight edge ever with me I see it that they have really bad anxiety, then you have to ask yourself if you are okay with someone self medicating or not.....everything imho from caffeine, booze to pot is a form of self medication. Personally, if someone can function on weed I can care less but I've also seen people become completely unhinged not having it
No this individual is fine without it. I guess it stems from a point of selfishness from my end. Reading these comments is hard for me but I needed to hear it. That's why I made the post in the first place.
I'll change my attitude regarding this.
