Are we all fucked?

I’m worried for the world. All I’ve been thinking about is WW3 and this shit makes me want to vomit. I can’t even smoke weed anymore without having a near panic attack. I feel unmotivated. I wake up and immediately just want to go back to bed. I’m not trying to spread fear but the Doomsday clock is 90 seconds till midnight, during the Cuban missile crisis, it was 7 minutes before midnight. Can we just have one day of fucking peace? Can everyone just stop for one day and enjoy one day of peace?

Shardikprime,

Sounds like you need to lay down the weed and touch some grass bro

TechNerdWizard42,

Stop being a druggie.

Sensitivezombie,

This sounds like you are depressed. My suggestion, stop consuming the type of information that is affecting your mental health. This is out of your control so stressing about it will only hurt you. You cannot control what is out of your control. Second, see a therapist and meditate. The world will go on for better or for worse.

I’m sorry to ask, but how old are you? The level of fucked does varies

TheFriar,

Not an answer to your question, but for a long time I couldn’t enjoy smoking weed anymore due to the anxiety. After my state legalized recreational weed, I could talk to pros about it. Find either a strain that has equal or maybe even higher amounts of CBD to THC, or have a cbd tincture in your system before you smoke.

I missed smoking weed. It had been years. But I’m very glad to report that I fully enjoy it again, no anxiety. No shitty feeling associated with it. It’s all nice.

I also got my feet wet on this journey by just smoking hemp, which has a really, really nice effect all on its own. Just something to consider if smoking weed was something that used to help you.

Kindness,

No more than ever before.

All I’ve been thinking about is WW3 and this shit makes me want to vomit.

We lived through WW2, most of us anyhow. Some times are harder than others, but let me tell you something. One of favorite cartoons of all time has a fairly flat character, who’s catch phrase is, “We’re all gonna die.” It’s her custom version of yolo before yolo was a thing. No matter the choices, precautions or risks, we all have to die eventually. It’ll happen regardless of how much we stress about it. Or how little.

I can’t even smoke weed anymore without having a near panic attack.

Ah, that makes sense. Pot tends to heighten anxiety over time. Talk to any of the old guard, and ask if the ever struggle with anxiety since stopping, or when they are clear.

the Doomsday clock is

Is someone else’s crystal ball. It doesn’t hold any power over your future.

just stop for one day and enjoy one day of peace?

Turn your phone off for 24 hours, take a stroll outside when it’s daylight, and forget about anything but real life for a day. Step away from the news. Don’t talk to people about politics. Get some distance while focusing solely on the moments that come your way. That will be your day of peace, and whenever you need another, you know what to do.

undrwater,

Excellent post. Thank you!

Pyr_Pressure,

I’ve stopped caring really, humanity can go extinct. We don’t deserve this world. It will be a much better place when it’s just deers and wolves frolicking about.

TJDetweiler,

These daily doom saying threads on this website are pathetic. No more weed for you friend. Time to turn off the news and touch some grass.

Ignorance is bliss. Weed is pretty good, too.

hamid,

Yo I smoke weed all the time and I’m chill, don’t blame the weed wtf

TJDetweiler,

I do too. I’m not blaming the weed. The OP said he had to stop smoking weed , I just agreed.

The old world is dying. The new world is struggling to be born. Now is the time of monsters.

Well weed can give you panic attacks so maybe it’s time for a break on that in the first place, but a straight answer to your question is yes, we’re fucked.

With this winter that has just passed, we are into Original Prediction territory - the original Shell (i think they worked for Shell?) engineers who discovered that CO2 was a greenhouse gas and did the math to predict the effects - this winter puts us back in line with that work. Every single prediction that has been made since has been watered down, dumbed down and spaced out. The original catastrophe predicted by those engineers is coming true right now.

Don’t listen to these hippies saying erry li’l ting gon be awright, they simply haven’t been paying attention and are a big part of the reason why nothing has been done about it in the first place, and there’s nothing left to do but point fingers anyway. Barbarism and fire are coming; their heads are too far up their asses to see the shit that’s about to mess up their diligently coifed hair.

To quote Matchbox 20, “Oh well, I guess we’re gonna pretend”

Alsjemenou,

Maybe we’re f-ed maybe not. Feeling sorry for yourself isn’t going to do shit though, is it?

You’re just spiralling into a depression at this point. All the while most of the things are completely outside of your control. You want to turn into the ‘old man shaking fist at clouds’ meme? Stop it.

Chances of a ww3 are incredibly low. Why? Because of the dependency on the global supply chain. Stuff is made from stuff shipped from all over the planet. Food, electronics, clothes, etc. We cannot just turn that off, and set up the infrastructure at home…build factories, have workers, have the raw materials… It’s incredibly complicated. We are already a global society.

Consider all the shit that is happening ‘ironing out the kinks’, we all know that the perfect future is fully automated gay space communism. Just try and be on the right side of history when you can help it.

i’d join the gay space communists… i’d even join the straight ones, although that’s a little gay of me, I know.

n3m37h,

Doomsday clock don’t fucking work except for this.

lseif,

no my friend. we are fine. sure, bad things happen , but a lot of it is just fearmongering. it will all work out

unreasonabro,

our extinction does count as “it all working out” JIC you’d forgotten

lseif,

okay debbie downer

hperrin,

Stop watching the news and get off of social media. They are literally designed to make you anxious so you’ll keep paying attention to them. Go find some local clubs and meetups to go to.

Gabu,

I can’t even smoke weed anymore

Good. That shit isn’t good for you.

You mean was about being able to legally profit from it and not about mental health???

unreasonabro,

it sure wasn’t about shutting down a black market, or even competing with it; looks more like colluding to keep prices high

NorthCountryHermit,

Stoners and pharma-bros; who knew that’d be a functional combo.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

It depends. It’s a bit like alcohol, but better.

For most folks, weed makes them chill out and think more clearer.
