There were shadowy conspiracists lurking in the dark alleys of Washington, and hiding from the glaring sun in the High Desert of California, but they were laughably easy prey when the Martian lizard people, the subterranean Vril-empowered mole-men, and the globalist pedophile Commies did show up.

    I find myself thinking that if I get high I will have an easier time ignoring the pain and doing something good like cleaning or working.

    That isn’t true, though. Getting high every day will add another problem on top of those you already have.
    It reduces your capacity to change things and your capacity to cope with what you can’t change.

    That being said, if your pain is physical and chronic, you basically have no other choice but to take drugs.
    And weed is one of the better options for dealing with chronic pain.
    But then ideally you should do it under medical supervision, and not with the goal of knocking your brain out, but making the pain manageable so you can live your life.
    This would likely mean not to smoke lots of weed with lots of THC, but consuming smaller doses of slower-acting edibles with a higher CBD amount.
