This is particularly poignant as an autistic person. Being told to calm down when there’s fucking nuclear reaction levels of anxiety going on in your brain is a level of condescension that would set off even the calmest motherfucker on the planet if they could experience this for even 5 fucking seconds.

I’m not a woman, but I can at least partially relate to how awful it is to be told to calm down. Shit suuuuuuuucks.

So, specific terpenes might make people sleepy? Even if that’s the case, it still increases their heart rate. So the people who get stoned before bed have elevated heart rates while sleeping, which could cause adverse effects on sleep quality. I’m no sleep expert so I don’t know if a higher heart rate while sleeping is an issue, though.

It’s funnier if you look at it as a single photo rather than two.

Weed is a stimulant. I’ve always had trouble sleeping and people have always suggested weed, and I’ve always told them it doesn’t help because it’s a fucking stimulant and makes it harder to fall asleep and they look at me like I’m the crazy one.
