I have four more months before I can start smoking again.
I have to admit, it is driving me nuts.
It has been proven time and again that pot is not addictive the same way that cigarettes, booze and drugs are addictive. All the same, there is a big gaping wound in my psyche that I spent years filling with pot smoke, and now I don’t have it! After my six month probationary period at my new job I will no longer be subject to random drug tests, so I can start smoking cannabis again. In the meantime I have been trying to fill that cannabis void with other things, but nothing seems to work! This isn’t just a ban on smoking cannabis, I cannot have THC in my system at all which also means no vaping and no edibles. I can use CBD oil as much as I want, which I tried for a couple of weeks before I had to finally admit that it does nothing. For anyone that loves CBD, god bless I’m glad for you, but for me it is not a substitute for proper cannabis at all. I also tried drinking liquor, which works a little better than CBD did but still leaves a lot to be desired. On the other hand, I really need this job, so as hard as it is so far, I am staying away from cannabis and THC until everything is secure. Once I pass probation I can join the union, and then they aren’t allowed to test me for cannabis any more.
