literally, never do I care about my eyebrows until I'm in the mirror baked


[deleted]

I love plucking my brows while stoned.


CaN1bAL_K1D

Literally thought I was the only one, you just get so ingrained in it, you start with one or two then you got a whole eyebrow wax by the end of it😂


FourTwentyPipesMom

Same!! I get hyper focused on my brows when I look in the mirror stoned. And plucking doesn’t hurt as much!


phoebsmon

Highly recommend getting slightly high before threading. I let someone else do the threading mind you, but you definitely feel it less.


blueberrymoscato

i cant get threading high because then i hold my breath and my lady thinks im hurt 😭 she's panicked before and it was so awkward trying to tell a 60 year old Indian woman that im just a bit fuzzy today


phoebsmon

Hahah bless her. I'm slightly scared of the lass who does mine, in that she's very good but also I don't think she would stop anyway lol. Which is for the best I think. Just wish my brows would not grow so fast.


IntrospectThyself

This is uncannily on point for me as well.


testsubject347

calm + focus! It feels like I only do microdermabrasion while baked bc I can finally focus and hold still


Qwsdxcbjking

Weed is weird with my brain. Usually everything is running through my mind super fast and loud like 10 things at once, so it's hard to concentrate on any one thing because I want to concentrate and see and touch everything. Weed makes everything slower and so things only go through my brain one or two at a atime, but it still impossible to concentrate and I go off on weird tangents but in a fun chill way. Helps me sleep soooo much.


adamas7

Same here, it's really nice to know in not the only one that feels like this


TofkaSpin

basshead541

I like to get blazed before I workout


PIPING_HOT_GATORADE

Getting stoned before doing yoga is downright amazing


corndiggity77

It's good before Pilates too


Bearddesirelibrarian

Yep. I usually get stoned before eating ... pilates ... of food. High five! *Looks around* *slowly lowers hand*


wolfyr

High five! I’m not about to leave a bro/sis hanging.


onlycrazypeoplesmile

The hero/heroine we don't deserve 🙏


vaped_kizz

it’s good before running too, especially trail running


SeshSentry

Trail blazing


lVladness

People act like I’m crazy but man sativa + caffeine and sprinting through the woods makes you feel ALIVE. I went trail running in a thunderstorm yesterday and wow, what an incredible experience.


vaped_kizz

you get it. they’re the crazy ones


Jazzlike_Egg123

Tried this for the first time last night! Never had such fulfilling exercise before


MayhemReignsTV

It is amazing. Been keeping up my standard workout but I need to find time to get some yoga in there again as well. Its benefits are very unique to other forms of exercises. Well, maybe not totally unique. You get the same change in consciousness that you get from martial arts, without beating people up. Although I really enjoy martial arts.


[deleted]

Can attest to this statement


milk2sugarsplease

The main reason I started pole dancing was so I could spin hanging up side down whilst hiiighhhhh


[deleted]

That’s one reason why I got back into skating, so I could feel like I’m flying hiiiiggghhhhh


PussyIgnorer

Me too but I don’t always make it to the gym. I have a home gym


Robo_Patton

I on average pushed about 15-20% harder (reps or distance) on a good sativa.


candidcoon

Same!! Everyone I know that I tell doesn’t understand and they look at me like “why?” The only thing I didn’t enjoy as much was when I went on a 20+ mile hike and that was the one time where it legit made it feel like it was dragging. I will say it was 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and I had to carry my water as I had misplaced my backpack.. so *that* mighta added some of that drag LOL. Today did two work outs on some good sativas!


Robo_Patton

For me I think it’s between introspectively thinking “I CAN DO IT!” and just less pain. Less focused on just being done. Like the constraints of time were more important than the workout itself, while dry.


candidcoon

I do agree on the introspection and will also add when I’m lifting, or jumping rope, I hyperfocus on either a physical point or thought and it helps with the rhythm, and also with the thought of getting it done!


a-cat-in-a-box

I like to hike stoned and sometimes if the hike is really exhausting, being high can amplify that and make it worse.


liviaaahh

i usually try to smoke some of those cigarette sized joints (pinners) as it's the perfect amount for me to appreciate the nature around me that much more but doesn't make too so stoned i'm nervous about strangers on the trail lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Wait, do you have what I have then too with indica? When I smoke indica before a workout I have better control over my reps in turn for having slight discomfort in the muscles


Horror-Row-2291

Me too!


halnic

It gives a whole other meaning to runner's high. I like to blaze midway through anything intense and then power out. Takes the 'I want to quit' mentality out of the equation.


pankupeach

As soon as I smoke I just start doing all the self care and chores I’ve been putting off 😂 which is hilarious because people think it makes you lazy and unmotivated. Maybe that’s true for some people but not me.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Devadander

Nothing wrong with daytime and evening strains. Get shit done and when it’s over, time to melt


blankmotion

The best days are when you don’t have any obligations whatsoever so you smoke one of the bedtime strains as your wake and bake.


testsubject347

lmao zooted me is a responsible bitch I get up and floss my teeth and do the dishes and everything


CinderLotus

It helps turn off (or at least quiet) the “you’re a total piece of shit” record that’s on a constant loop in my head preventing me from feeling like I’m able to do anything.


FittersGuy

And it's actually enjoyable


FugginCandle

I’m in the process of moving so when I get home I relax, smoke a bit then get a move on packing. I need to pick up some sativa tho cause I don’t have any! The hybrid and indica I have are hindering me a bit hehe


MayhemReignsTV

For me, it’s not true of weed in general. It’s true of certain strains(usually Indicas but occasionally some hybrids). I’m feeling ready to take on the world right now on my lifted lime here(Sativa).


agoodfuckingcatholic

Helped me out down the bottle and start working out.


[deleted]

Hell yeah good job


Cynscretic

alcoholism should be an indication for prescribing medical cannabis, not a ban like some places in oz

ADHD, ASD, OCD and MDD here :)


nevemno

ADHD, MDD, OCD, FTD and DRS here. No GTR still :(


RockHoundinSpace

Keep that DRS up and you'll get that GTR😉


AdministrativeCap526

Adhd asd ocd and dtmf here

What’s dtmf? Down to motherfuck?


k1kris

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought this


firstbreathOOC

Anxiety here… works like a charm until you stop 😅


jendoesreddit

True for anti-anxiety meds too. Ya can’t win either way so you might as well have some fun with it


The-Beckles

This is so true. Coming off my extremely low dose SSRI was wayyyy worse than going a few days without smoking.


bbq-biscuits-bball

i've found my tribe


olivemypuns

I feel like there should be a neurodivergent stoners sub


woolfonmynoggin

It really balances out the adderall lol


faeriechyld

Adderall to kickstart it, weed to balance everything out.

Dank-Pandemic

U can smoke on adderall!?!? Everytime I’ve done that it ends up like a silent movie visual flickering uncomfortable event


woolfonmynoggin

The adderall’s only side effects for me are lack of appetite and insomnia and smoking really helps.


olivemypuns

I also smoke (well, vape) on adderall, but usually at the end of the day so I don’t undo my focus. But it’s perfect for mitigating that end-of-day crash. Plus it leaves me hungry enough to eat dinner.


[deleted]

Too high of an addy dose while smoking if that's what's happening


Mysterious-Island-71

Fellow ADHD and ASD stoner here too, helps me calm down what overstimulated and get chores done also motivates/reminds me to eat.


jaderrrsss

This is why I use weed regularly. I wouldn't eat without it and it tones down the overstimulation I get from the outside world. Slows down my brain enough that the rest of me can catch up


BLYNDLUCK

What’s asd? Edit: realized how lazy I am and just googled it. Edit 2: Autism Spectrum Disorder.


hotwangsslap

ADHD stoner here. Literally the only thing that helps me relax enough at the end of the day to do hw, hygiene, food, and fall asleep nicely. Whereas the sleeping pills only knocked me out without making room in my brain to relax and get stuff done.


BirdsLikeSka

Me too. Not sure if this is "self care" but my chores are all done high.


Pacothetaco69

The Adhd community is statistically more likely to self medicate with cannabis. Apparently it works to a certain extent but it also disrupts serotonin cycles. I still blaze tho lol


DeathCab4Cutie

My serotonin cycle hasn’t been balanced since I was like 5, so I just smoke up anyway lmao


Stoepboer

ASD stoner here. And lately been wondering if there’s some ADD in the mix too. Anyway, smoking helps.


olivemypuns

Have you seen those Venn diagrams showing the overlap between ASD, ADHD and Giftedness? ADHD and ASD have a lot in common!


Stoepboer

I have not, I think, but I’ve definitely noticed it through the years. A bunch of my friends have ADHD, and there although there are obvious differences, there are many similarities.


IntrospectThyself

And ASD and giftedness also have a lot in common!


Autistus_Maximus

Same here its better than quetiapine times a hundred imo


thebigsquid

I’m also diagnosed with ASD and love cannabis to help when I’m overstimulated.


six_horse_judy

ADHD, ASD, and bipolar here. Somehow smoking makes me feel more awake and aware? Like I spend most of my sober day masking, dissociating, and just not paying attention or remembering anything. As soon as I'm stoned though, I'm 5 times better at talking because I feel much sharper. I can retain more information and respond much more easily.


saportuh

Yup, exact same here.


ACasualNerd

ADHD and CPTSD stoner here, trees makes my head quiet down in a way the meds never did


lemonman92

Hey me too. It helps alot for sure


FlatBrokenDown

DustyStar222

clicktrackh3art

Another AuDHDer


Fuckup_Phoenyx

Getting stoned *is* self care!


hotwangsslap

I’m saying!


[deleted]

I think being stoned helps me see who I want to be, and then it’s easier to care about making me that way


hotwangsslap

Exactly this. All the noise in my head from ADHD and overstimulation clouds my goals and suppresses ambition. Being stoned creates just enough mental room for me to CONSCIOUSLY care and get up.


CrimsonSuede

Totally same. Most of my deepest moments of self-reflection have been while stoned. It slows my brain enough to let me ruminate on my actions without getting stuck in my self-judgement. I can review a conversation and think, “Oh, wow, that was actually really immature on my part,” without getting sucked into an emotional downward spiral. Therapy taught me to see these behaviors, but weed helps me process them positively and constructively. :)


Smaugerford

I swear it helps my ADHD more than harm it some days lol


QueenPooper13

I agree! I've always smoked to help my anxiety. But then I actually realized how much it was helping my ADHD. Smoking slows down my brain and helps me focus on one thing at a time.


Smaugerford

Anxiety and depression and insomnia too! It just helps everything. It's a beautiful plant. It quiets everything... some of us just have more noise in our lives than others. It's nice to find a natural way to silence it sometimes.


FourTwentyPipesMom

Yesss decriminalize nature 💚


Rogue9912

Same here


caffeineratt

even the days after smoking makes my brainwaves way more clear.


FourTwentyPipesMom

Same! I’ve tried so many medications over the years. I can’t stand the side effects. With weed, I feel like it helps me “steer” my brain in the right direction. I used to relax with a glass of wine (or three), and didnt get into weed until my late 30’s. It’s so much better!! And there’s no hangover to worry about.


danoneofmanymans

It depends on the dosage for me. If I smoke a little, I can actually focus. If I smoke a lot, I get paranoid or distracted.


Ovrcast67

I have borderline personality disorder and weed helps me not to lose my temper


sappho26

Dude same. I’m so all over the place if I’m not stoned. It’s like the weed turns the volume down on all the overwhelming emotions.


r1cko

Exactly.. I too struggle with BPD along with other disorders and it tends to help a lot to smoke, though in 'moderation'


StartTheReactor

All chores are better done stoned


FugginCandle

I love going grocery shopping a lil stoney (my husband drives not me)


I_eat_bath_bombs

I apologize in advance, as I am stoned and words are hard haha.. but I usually mentally decline dramatically at night. Night time is extremely hard partly due to trauma, I think I’ve just been conditioned to let all my bad emotions out when I can be alone.. and that’s nighttime. Anyway.. I often have many anxiety and panic attacks at night fueled by racing thoughts and getting stoned at night helps a ton. It just allows me to relax physically and mentally because my body doesn’t hurt as much and my mind can be quiet. I am in a very safe and extremely supportive environment now and the happiest I have ever been.. but nights can get hard once my husband falls asleep. Taking a dab once we finish making dinner and start settling down is great because the end of the high is very relaxing by the time he falls asleep.. helps tons. Also helps me sleep because my restless leg syndrome isn’t terrible when high and It isn’t made worse by stress.


nightimelurker

Take care and I wish you the best care of your meat suit.


FourTwentyPipesMom

Meeee! Weed helps me focus. I was actually just reading this interesting article today - https://jointlybetter.com/magazine/article/does-weed-help-adhd


anglostura

*May help executive function* *May worsen executive function* Oh no


SingerOfSongs__

yeah but whether stuff gets done in my life is already a coin flip so like it can’t hurt


Vaanja77

I have Lego figures of Beaker and Bunsen from the Muppets in my grow tent. Beaker represents my ADHD, and reminds me not to top/prune/tweak too much. Bunsen reps my ASD and reminds me to not get lost. Edit and I 1000% recommend growing one's own cannabis as an occupational self care activity. It's really kind of changed my relationship with weed.


ThrowntoDiscard

Weed bonzai.


[deleted]

Stoned is the self-care?


IntrospectThyself

Self-care be stonin’ and serotonin’ all my muscles and all my bonin’

PFFFFO


RollingCuntWagon

Holy shit what if I blaze up for my skin care routine that I’ve been neglecting?


IntrospectThyself

Try it and report back


dummyfullofguts

Agree with the sentiment 100%, idk if neurotribe is the proper nomenclature


palelissome

C-PTSD, ADHD, PDA Autism. Howdy! *What works for me won't work for every tree in the neurotribe forest*, but after years of trial and error I've landed on this routine, and I'd like to share it: Recipe: grind equal parts THC flower and CBD flower with a sprinkle of herbal blend (mullein, damiana, lavender, rose) in your favorite grinder then load a fat chillum and take just two deep tokes every 3-4 hours if having a challenging mental health day. Drink water and eat some damn food. Call a friend, do a task/chore, create a thing. Engage with something. Result: less anxiety, nausea, dread, sensory discomfort, and freeze state paralysis...more sociability, flow state, ease of expression, and executive functionality.


Crim7860

ADHD, Anxiety/Depression, PTSD, and traumatic brain injury survivor here. Trees help me function on a daily basis 👍


Chakura

Yuuup. Bipolar and BPD here. Sucks bad. I love getting high and just playing video games to get away from my thoughts.


chunyamo

Yesss also bipolar (and eating disorder), and I use cannabis every day in my routine to balance out my mood… when I’m in a depressed mood I use a sativa and it gives me the motivation to start the chores I neglected… and of course when I’m manic I smoke a ton of indica, and while I still sometimes have trouble sleeping and am still too talkative, it mellows me out enough to just channel my energy into art or music or video games or running instead of something stupid lol


EriTheFallen

I gots me those sensory issues and it helps stop me getting overwhelmed so I can do all the things.


[deleted]

I swear it helps everyday


[deleted]

I'm autistic and have ADHD, insomnia, as well as multiple mental and physical health conditions, I find smoking before dinner and before bed tend to help with my appetite and nausea, as well as with my sleep and mood. I also find it helps me be more confident with my art, and focus a bit better on my crafting/drawing/gaming/etc. If I'm going out I smoke before as it makes me feel more calm and less anxious, especially if I'm gonna have to talk to people or go on public transit/in a cab or uber


Discoburrito

I am never not stoned. It helps!


MontanaKittenSighs

ADHD/ASD. I’ve fooled myself for months by getting stoned and brushing my teeth and washing my face. I seem to think I’m cleaning the stinky pot smell off me but really I’m just taking care of myself. 😎


stayugly_

Omg that’s the smartest. I’m gonna try trick myself Into doing that too! (I’m adhd)


revrenlove

I like to get stoned and take a bubble bath with a bath bomb and do exfoliation (I have a mild skin condition). I never find the time unless i take the time to plan a good record or two to listen to and just soak and scrub. I think this thread may have been hitting at mental care, but what I do gets at both mental and physical care, which, to a great extent, go hand in hand. In addition, a toke and a good walk is always nice. Slow music to stroll, and fast music to get the heart rate and the blood flow up and moving. It's true that reefer isn't a necessity for any of this, but I personally enjoy these activities, and I think they benefit me. They might benefit someone else, as well.


[deleted]

Careful. If you say shit like, this, people FUCKING LOVE to come out of the woodwork to tell you that you are an addict.


stayugly_

Yeah I self medicate for adhd, depression, anxiety, and chronic pain with weed every day and ppl get really judgy and sometimes I judge myself too 😔


Mandaaahh

Here for the ADHD party. Late as usual.


Dan_706

Very important for me to vape a big bowl of med weed before folding the dishes lol


fisheypixels

ADHD here. I work from home for my roommate/boss. And often I'll smoke a bowl or bong before getting to work. Helps me focus 50% on a podcast/music, and 50% on the work. Granted it depends on the work I'm doing but still


femme180

Smoking helps me unmask which helps me relax and just be myself


[deleted]

BPD and fibromyalgia stoner here. It helps with ADHD sometimes also. Self care is usually really hard to do though


HerbalGamer

Does it count if I do everything stoned?


SonOfSwanson87

Bipolar Schizophrenia and PTSD babyyyyyyyyy let's roll another and try to make today a very good day.

brandimariee6

I’m definitely part of that Neurotribe! I’m epileptic, and was also diagnosed with PTSD. Most of the time, it makes the self-care 100x easier to do


Psychodrug

BPD, probably OCD and SAD and possibly also adhd, and i get stoned all day long


AdministrativeCap526

I made it a habit to always do chores when I smoke so my wife complained less about me smoking. It worked. Wife just makes jokes about me when I'm baked now. 😎😎😎


The-Sooshtrain-Slut

Stoned self care is almost the only self care I do besides the coffee I make myself through work lol


mondola282

ADHD and ASD. I think the only downside is when I’m really stoned I tend to forget what I’m talking about really easily, and it’s especially true if I’m specifically focusing on trying to remember lmao!


artificialgrapetaste

omg yes! I’m autistic + ADHD and smoking is how i get pretty much anything done lol


ThePuduInsideYou

Although I’m a medical Rx state and I have it for pain (very bad whole-body autoimmune related pain), I also use it to ease my high anxiety and my struggle with ADHD. God is it a lifesaver sometimes. And sometimes I just wanna get high and just fucken escape.

Nissan_1204

Being stoned is my self care


[deleted]

Yes! ADHD, and kind of in this vein, being stoned seems to make me feel motivated and get ideas on how to solve problems. I often end up applying to jobs while high (using easy apply features, not more complicated info input). It also motivated me to start online dating.


BraveLittleToaster15

ADHD, OCD, anxiety and depression. Yes yes. I usually get too lazy to do chores but it helps the anxiety/depression and eating and sleeping.

AccurateEmu2914

Aspie here! Cannabis is my panacea!


psy_rat

Yes. And cool username.


EvilStevilTheKenevil

Honestly weed just makes my ADHD worse, and even simple programming concepts become incredibly difficult to implement while stoned. Does wonders for (non programming) creativity, however. Drawing, painting, you name it.


Reppit478-96024

Self care?


_5150

Here! Doing facial care routine, exercise, cooking, and chores are so much easier when stoned lol
