The second time I ate the bread, I made sure I had no activities for the day, was alone at home, and observed my behavior prior to taking the cannabis. When it was time to eat, I got a timer and took note of when the effects kicked in, which parts of my body became relaxed first and how the general transition from stress, /micro pain/anxiety to peace, and clear thoughts happened. I loved the discovery I was making. After a couple of months I quit the cannabis and switched to meditation, yoga, ice baths, and CBT to deal with the anxiety. It has worked. These days I don't meditate or do yoga daily, but I have better control of my life, and very grateful for the experience that led me here.
> Write your list of 10 ideas.
> Label it "Public" , 'Private' or 'Premium'.
> Public ideas can be searched, shared, commented on, followed, etc.
It has all the functionality of twitter on top of all of this.
> You can use AI to fill out lists of ideas or generate images based on your ideas.
> Premium lists can be sold (like an online course or a 'special report' or a newsletter, etc).
> 'Challenges' can be issued like, 'Give me 10 ideas to help me market my XYZ business.'
Maybe it'll work for you.

After about an hour, I got depressed and my thoughts went all over the place. "It's karma! You see that 'little' lie you told a couple of years ago about not being responsible for knocking moms pot of soup over? Well, the spirits are paying you back now. Your code is fine boy. But your sins cause it not to work. Maybe you should confess when you get home". Luckily for me, a friend walked into the lab and saw me slouched and with a long face. "What are you coding?" I pointed to the offending line. He looked at it for a few seconds and said "it seems fine... Ah! line 1O should be 10." He corrected it, pressed Shift + F5 and like magic it worked. Now whenever I write code I always put a slash across the zero to indicate it's 0 and not O.
Smoking is frowned upon in Ghana, so upon my return there were few places I could smoke. One day while out and about I got really anxious about something and I needed a cig badly. I had to go some distance to get one, and even got a harder time finding a place to hide and smoke. I felt like I was committing the most heinous of crimes cause I had to take off my shirt to ensure the smell didn't stick on me. I didn't even enjoy the smoke because the quality wasn't that good, I smoked in a hurry and kept looking over my shoulder. I simply couldn't live like that anymore. So I quit after that day. The next time I tried to smoke again was 2 months later. I couldn't even finish a stick as it made me feel sick. I have disliked the smell of cigarettes ever since. And that was 7 years ago.
I am glad you shared this. I just registered. Thank you.
