In the movie The Avengers, the Hulk had that brilliant line where he said “that’s our secret, Cap, I’m constantly angry.” This genuinely resonated with me, because I have suffered from anger complications for years; I do yoga & meditation to try & keep myself calm, but periodically nothing seems to work, nothing works except for cannabis, which does the trick every time, and the worst thing I can do is drink alcohol, because that makes me stupid & belligerent & spoiling for a fight! I’m not joking, either, when I used to go to bars I got into a lot of fights.
I am still under a lifetime ban at numerous uncommon bars, although I’m proud to say that once I started smoking cannabis I never got into another public fight.
I have l earned enough over the years to only go out & socialize while under the influence of cannabis. If I am stone-frosty sober, after that I will start drinking booze when I go out, & it never ends well, but a few weeks ago the local cannabis dispensary opened up a smokers lounge in an adjoining building. This is the best of both worlds for me, because I can still socialize, but instead of being tempted to drink alcohol I can consume a steady supply of cannabis products. I usually buy a cannabis drink, either a Dunkin Donuts Coffee pop or a fruit juice, so I have something to sip on while I talk to people… Cannabis drinks are superior to alcohol in every way, & they help to keep our anger complications at bay.
