An interesting video on weed usage, curious to chat about people's experience (www.youtube.com)

I've been a daily smoker for the last 4 years, I had to take some time off for a job and it's shocked me how my dreams have come back. I'm not planning on quitting but I'm probably going to try to stop daily usage. I'm curious how others feel about where they are with their weed usage and how it impacts them. I genuinely forgot what real powerful dreams were like and I ran a sleep study as a part of my university thesis and got to see firsthand how it impacts my REM sleep.

I use maybe once a week and track my sleep with a Garmin watch. On nights that I use my deep sleep is almost non-existent. On the following nights my deep sleep comes back and then some.

Can see this being the reason why many don’t experience dreams on weed and why memory suffers after prolonged use, since deep sleep is necessary for both of these.

From my sleep study I saw the same results, my REM sleep periods would only start later in the night when the weed wore off. I'm also starting to feel like my memory is suffering. There is also just the problem of tolerance, I want to land on a sustainable approach to smoking.
