My weed intake is about the same. At first, I would smoke during the day while working but that proved to be very unproductive as Netflix, DIY house projects, Xbox, doing anything BUT work seems a lot more fun while high. So now its the odd beer when watching what little sports there are, and evening marijuana usage. Typically a couple bong rips (big bong full of ice is a game changer for those who don't like to smoke).

As I've gotten older, I have drank less and less. The hangovers, dehydration, etc all just get worse. A night of drinking is a guaranteed wasted day the next day and that just bothers me. Where as with weed, both the benefit and any downfalls are the same as when I was 20 years younger.

One thing that I've discovered during the pandemic is Psilocybin mushroom edibles. While not legal, I believe its only a matter of time. But I've always thought Mushrooms were the best drug out there. All the hard stuff is both brutal and lame in my opinion. Anyways, for $40 you can get a mushroom chocolate bar with 6 doses. For me 2 doses is the way to go, and that lasts about 3-4 hours. Really enjoyable if in the right mood and situation.

I believe that one day Psilocybin will be widely used and available. It is being tested in micro doses as an aid in helping people kick all kinds of habits. Not to mention it can be a lot of fun in slightly larger doses.
