thank you so much! and yes— weed has definitely been an option for me :) i think my only concern would be consuming CBD instead of anything w/THC bc as a grad student sometimes weed exacerbates my ADHD 😭 regardless it helps a ton so i like to smoke a couple times a week to make sure i’m calm/eating properly :)
