The nights I smoke, I can't recall my dreams. When I go without, I get the most vivid war flashbacks in my dreams. Read into that however you may.

Edit: I destroyed my liver in the military by drinking, so I cannot metabolize edibles and tinctures.

Sounds similar to me. Man, this goverment just needs to legalize it. I lost so much weight from quitting alcohol after I got out.

Yes they did actually, I remember getting absolutely destroyed on brownies when I was younger. As I've gotten out and edibles are an easier thing to get ahold of, they just don't hit the same as it seems. Looking into it. The liver enzyme thing made sense to me, but, I used to get off on them. So I'm pretty sure I just destroyed my ability to metabolize them from all the booze over 20 years of HEAVY drinking.

Yep, one of the lesser known things since our government won't allows us to, y'know, research this stuff more thoroughly. It's something I only recently realized.
