Late 40's long time toker. First tried herb at 17 and have fluctuated between being an occasional and a daily user ever since. Have been growing my own off and on since I was 21. It’s been med-legal for over a decade here and rec-legal since 2018 here.
But, it was full-on prohibition when I first tried it and a felony if you got caught when I started growing. So, years and years of toking and growing totally on the down low. Hell, I've been a member here for more than 10 years but was too paranoid to post pictures until fairly recently.
To this day, I still find myself sneaking around to use cannabis and feel vaguely like I'm doing something wrong. Dumb crap is just ingrained now, like firing up in secret behind my shed (or inside the shed if the nosy neighbor is lurking) before mowing the lawn, sneaking off like kids to burn one with my brother when visiting his family, or eating a brownie on the down low before going to a party. Very interesting vibe to have an edible kick in hard when hanging with a bunch of sports parents…
I drink openly but use cannabis mainly in secret. I can't shake the paranoid worry about non-down neighbors, friends, my parents, etc. "knowing" what I'm doing.
Alot of people I work with and socialize with still talk about it like it's not legal and somehow shameful, so I'm still in the shadows at bit. Not sure I'll ever grow out of this, too much water under the bridge.
Any other long-time users still sneaking around too?
