Daniel Ortiz15, thanks so much for the help. I just sent you a private message with the direct link to the post, along with the specific hashtag number and the sequence underneath it... if there's any way we can get that wiped out, I'd really appreciate it. I've been trying to figure this out for ages.
Hey there... I had a quick question for you all... is it possible for the moderators over in the psychology subforum to delete a post of mine if I really want it gone? It was written way back in 2016, so it's quite old. On top of that, it feels like the mods for that section aren't responding to any messages at all...
Hey, I noticed you signed up just a little while after I did 🙂. And yeah, I can tell exactly which movie you're talking about. It reminds me of when I finally quit smoking; it’s almost identical to how it felt hanging out with my buddies who still smoked, just cruising around in the car together—it’s a tough realization, honestly, but that's when it finally hits you.
Of course it is. I’ve seen enough firsthand from being out in those circles to know what's really going on. It’s usually the good guys who end up getting the short end of the stick—the ones who get taken advantage of and end up blowing through their cash just trying to feel like they belong in that scene.
People can say whatever they want to justify it, but the reality is that weed can seriously mess with your heart rhythm; I’ve personally known a few people who went through that.

Yeah, looking at the big picture, it really does turn into this exhausting, repetitive cycle. Especially when things finally settle down tomorrow and you realize just how much everything has shifted.
Yeah, that’s just how it goes... I've moved on from the weed scene and started focusing on my garden instead, so that's just where I am now. Since I quit smoking, I don't really hang out with those old crowds anymore; these days, most of my time is spent with people who just want to grab a beer and catch up.
Hey there, my fellow internet comrades, I’ve actually dealt with some pretty similar struggles myself, so let me try to break down what I’ve learned and how it played out for me 🙂
Honestly, making the decision to step away from weed is a massive leap forward, and if you were to fall back into those old habits, you’d really be doing yourself a huge disservice. The reality is that everything involving marijuana just keeps you spinning in this endless, repetitive cycle. Looking back on it now, it feels like such a foolish phase to go through; it just creates this dull, foggy, completely disconnected version of euphoria while cranking up the hallucinations. Most kids start out with it because that’s just what the crowd is doing, but once you experience life without being high, you finally realize just how much of a total letdown the whole thing actually is.
It all feels a bit exaggerated to me, and honestly, it’s pretty disheartening. In America, so many young people who are incredibly bright and highly educated feel like they don't have a real shot at building a future here. It seems like their only option is to pack up and move abroad, unless they happen to have some heavy-hitting connections or a massive head start in this messy system we live in.
My grandmother back in Boise passed away from thyroid cancer in 2002 when she was 77. She had been incredibly healthy her whole life—she didn't even catch the flu, let alone anything else. I remember back then, about ten years ago, my father told me she’d mentioned feeling this strange sensation in her throat, almost like there was a walnut stuck there, but she just wouldn't go see a doctor about it. By the time she finally did seek help, it was already too late. She ended up spending nine days in the hospital before passing, and while she was lucid for those last two days, she really went through a lot of pain.
It’s probably all in your head, honestly; we have this incredible capacity to convince ourselves of things, so I truly believe the most important thing you can do is just try to maintain a positive mindset.
What’s everyone’s take on this "certified hypnotherapy expert"? He’s pretty well-known for his book "journey of souls," but depending on who you ask, he’s either just another big-time promoter for the "New Agency" or he’s a total realist. I'm curious to hear what you all think about him.

No, I’m not trying to go there. I’m just asking purely out of curiosity because I can't wrap my head around how something like that happens so suddenly to someone who seems perfectly healthy.
How common is this actually when you're looking at people who have been perfectly healthy up until now—meaning no history of heart issues—and more broadly, what kind of frequency are we talking about in general?
About two years ago, I started having this trouble swallowing; it’s just this constant sensation like there's something stuck in my throat, even though everyone around me insists it's all just in my head. I have my doubts about that, though, and I still haven't actually made it to a doctor for a formal checkup. Even though people tell me it's almost impossible to actually choke on food—unless you're taking massive, unhinged bites—I've read that the mortality rate from choking incidents is actually quite high... It's gotten to the point where I barely touch meat, and eating bread feels like a real struggle... Is there any actual chance I could choke on food that's been completely chewed up and swallowed?
People just swallow everything whole without thinking twice, and honestly, it’s left me feeling pretty anxious about what I'm eating... everyone keeps telling me that the risk of choking is only about 0.0000000001 percent, but it still weighs on me.
