The boycott of Bud Light was just one factor in a year of industry-wide declines.

I'm sure the weed legalizing has had an impact as well. I have completely stopped drinking in favor of weed. Saves my liver and no hangover.
Saves the brain, too. Not saying weed is exceptional, but alcohol fucks the brain up.
I just don't do either anymore. Feels really good
Just water, thanks, homie
You mean like, from the toilet?
It’s what bodies crave.
THC in weed hurts short term memory and can cause paranoia. I just stick with CBD.
CBD isn't psychoactive so it's not gonna be the same for most people, but good on you! Honestly probably just drinking water is really the way to go for health. There is probably an argument for psychoactive substances relieving stress (which is a potent detriment to health) but there are also healthier ways to do that
Nothing fun is good for us. Just use substances in moderation and you'll most likely be fine
Psychedelics are fun and also beneficial with appropriate use. I can't handle weed because of the paranoia, believe it or not. Just like any other substance, they can be abused and overdone.
I eat shrooms recreationally but have also used them to replace my antidepressants with phenomenal results. It took a ton of experimentation and time, but I have found a balance. Disclaimer: This is a high risk maneuver and could end very badly for some personality types. In some ways, they function exactly like S/SRIs but at a much grander scale. It turns out that psilocin can be more effective than serotonin itself. (Here is a great presentation that has some notes regarding that: https://youtu.be/cxE9qnocJEY?si=69CKRAUJd01cOCPh)
Unfortunately, some people just can't handle them. Seeing reality disolve around you can be a disturbing thing to witness if you are not fully prepared for it. However, if a person is able, a few heroic doses and the correct set and setting will produce significant life changes for the better and the effects will last for years.
Sorry you got downvoted. Mushrooms are incredible medicine. One day they too will be legal just like weed.
I don't remember hearing that before. Must be a conspiracy man
It's true. Same as weed can make you psychotic.
However, what they don't usually tell you if they you'd had to have the psychosis latent, but the weed triggers it. Just as a car crash could, a loved one dying, or even just getting frightened by a loud sound. Hey, even getting drunk can cause it - alcohol also causes psychosis while being intoxicated. Source: my sister who stopped drinking around 40, who realized that it fucked her up. I could tell when she'd have over single beer.
If you're ever unsure if you have psychosis latent, be careful!
Woosh
But thanks
Sorry, I'm stoned. Noticed your second sentence just now 🤣
No worries friend, it's a good way to be.
What a wholesome interchange. Just when I'm about to prep a fat bowl.
You don't have to have a latent disorder for a drug to cause it, but often times drugs do trigger it if you do. There are plenty of people who have gotten e.g. an anxiety disorder or bipolar from heavy use of weed who had no family history of such things. Personally I do have a family history of bipolar and I already have GAD and a little OCD so I try to avoid it altogether, but I occasionally smoke with friends (I'm talking once every few months, which is still probably risky).
Nah I'll stick with the THC.
Or take the middle ground and get type 2 weed and take it slow.
Type 2 weed?
That person is making shit up
I think that many people are switching to hard liquor because of the state of things, as well. My town alone has seen like a 7-800% increase in alcohol sales since covid.
Can confirm, gave up crappy low cal water beer for vodka. Less carbs, better buzz.
I mean just vote against Trump in 2024 and the world's gonna be fine...?
That solves the most immediate threat. But the seas are still rising and a major party seems reluctant to return to slowly impeding progress
Trump is just a puppet.
The POTUS is just a puppet
Now your lungs are taking the hit—do shrooms.
