(TLDR IN COMMENTS)

I am making this post to provide more information on the side effects associated with consistent use of alt cannabinoids and specifically HHC. I take some every night before bed to sleep and also twice a week a bit earlier in the evening to enjoy the high as well. I am deffinitly dependent on it but am good at controlling my usage and never using when there is something important going on or I have to drive. It is easy for me to not use during the day but I need it at night to sleep or I just will almost not sleep at all.

My tolerance: currently I take about 35mg or 7 puffs off a vape to sleep, and I take about 50mg or 12 puffs to get decently high

Positive effects: I have diagnosed generalized anxiety order and bad social anxiety and using it consistently even though I am sober during the day has made my anxiety decrease a ton. I feel that It has numbed my emotions a bit making me be able to enjoy my life more being mostly free from anxieties. I do not take any prescribed medication currently either. The hhc high is extremely level headed and clear in low doses. I am able to have a few puffs on my vape and be able to interact in large groups with no sixla anxiety where as I would have had to leave before or have been extremely quiet and anxious.

Negative effects: While the numbness has helped my anxiety I has also made me feel less positive emotions overall. I'm a lot more of a chill neutral person now which is good in some ways. It has also given me intense derealization which I have gotten used to for the most part. When I take a high dose at night in the morning it genuinely feels like the whole day is a dream and like it's not real. I constantly feel like my mind is a bit clouded. It's made me unsure of who I am anymore. I also was using only my vape at night every night for about 3 months and started experiencing cold like symptoms, sinus issues, and blood in my flem. This made me take a month long break from smoking and now I use predominantly edibles instead and the health issues are gone. In regard to apatite issues, I am overweight so this is not a negative to me. But when I go a day or two without I do notice a significant apatite loss. I am able to eat a lot and when I don't have weed I eat about half as much or less as I would eat normally, again not a negative for me personally but may be for some.

I will also be going out of the country soon for 3 weeks where I will not have access to any kind of marijuana. This will be the longest break I have taken since starting and I will update how it effects my apatite, mood, and overall being as well as the derealization. This hasn't effected me being able to live my life though as I have a job and am going to college currently.

Extra info: I get my hhc from gilded and mix it plain into edibles or add broad spectrum cbd distillate as well. In my vapes it's straight terped hhc as I have experimented with blends and don't see a potency increase, I am happy with how I have it now.
