It’s frustrating when things lose their effects as time goes on.
- Whether it’s the satisfaction you get from a certain interest or the buzz from a can of wine, your perception of that stimulus is going to change as you get older.
Sometimes the effects simply go away. You could fall madly in love with a girl but end up drifting apart from time passing and people changing Or you reach for cough medicine for the 4th time in 1 week plus discover that you’re abruptly getting less relief from the same dose. I have gone through this process with many different things in my life, but there is 1 instance that stands out above the rest. I’ll never forget how magical it felt trying cannabis for the first time roughly ten years ago. I remember the bliss rushing to my head and taking me away from my daily world of anxiety plus grief. Cannabis was beyond anything my brain could understand at that age, plus it abruptly became a constant feature in my life. But as time went on, the effects of cannabis—regardless of the strain or THC—have diminished whenever I smoke marijuana flower buds. When I visited the cannabis dispensary last week, I mentioned my issues to the budtender. He suggested that I try a cannabis product that was not a flower. I had to admit that I had been using flower products forever and haven’t tried a concentrate ever. The concentrates are powerful and just what I need.
