It gets even better in your 30s. Sure, youth is nice, having energy to do things is great. But I can feel the difference in myself after my brain finally hit full maturity in my mid-upper 20s. I hear my younger coworkers talking about their dramatic social lives and inside I'm grateful that I've already "been there, done that." If I meet someone my age who's still surrounded by drama, I know they're part of the issue and probably won't change, because most of us left that crap behind as we learned how to process our feelings and communicate more effectively.
Aging isn't exciting, but it's definitely more peaceful than youth. (Unless/until kids come along, that is. Then it becomes our turn to help them manage their wild emotions.)
Nah, hitting a peak means you've stopped improving. The fact you haven't hit it yet means you're still getting more awesome every year. Keep it up, queen/king/my liege 👑 (attempting a gender-neutral term here, pick whichever feels right.)
It's normal for me. I have made the most progress towards healing and self growth with weed. It's like it allows me to open doors in my mind that are usually shut. They are shut by mental illness. You're not going to find me complaining about the only thing that's ever helped me. The side effects are worth it.

Totally. Life only got better for me in my twenties, onward, because I hit rock bottom from 17 to 19.

What's weird about a combination of weed & mental illness? Seems perfectly normal to me.
(And, no - that's not because I partake. When I was young, that shit gave me a massive headache for some reason so I never got into it.)

They’re saying his entire personality consists of weed and mental illness

And yet they're still having sex with him? Who's got the more serious mental illness?

"Don't stick your dick in crazy!"
It was a joke, buy apparently that wasn't as obvious as I thought.

Can't relate. I'm peaking right now. It's quite easy when the bar is so low.

All the homies are just combinations of weed and mental illness. And are also just hallucinations caused by my own weed and mental illness.
