I have a hard time with my temper sometimes... but when I do have anger issues...the are fucking BAD. Honestly, and very seriously, I'm scared that eventually I may hurt someone because of my anger issues too.
I push away friends and relationships and have been trying to do my best to find something to help me.
If I lived in a state that it was legal, there is no doubt in my mind I would have tried it.
It's NOT legal in Florida, and I would be worried about losing my Retirement with the Air Force (medical care, travel and pension).
Anyone offer any bit of advice? I know we have quite a few Vets here. I know a few know better than me about this. PM me if you would like, but I'd like to hear some advise either way from everyone

HEY BROTHER! I'll be moving down to miami mid march. Id love to smoke with you sometime n roll a bit after your ankle heals up.
As far as smoking weed when you're a first timer I suggest that you take one hit only. You must try this plant in mini increments because you dont wanna get TOO high your first time since you never really know how strong your weed is your first time smoking it. Take one hit n then chill and see how you feel. then maybe after 30 minutes take one more hit. After an hour maybe try 2 hits if you feel up to it.
And more importantly smoke with someone who has great energy and who is known to have great conversations. If you're going to get high n youre new then I recommend smoking with someone cool. Later on its good to get high solo because you learn how you think and with learning how you think you're able to process your emotions better. this all takes time though.
I used to have a lot of issues with anger etc and slowly but surely with the help of weed I gained a a wealth of knowledge about myself through self reflection.
I wish you the best of luck bro and I hope you enjoy it.
also dont forget that if you ever feel TOO high. Its literally just in your mind. You have full control over everything.
