for some is beer a relaxer, for some weed is a relaxer. I know jay takes a few beers now and then. I take a benzo often, and i take coffee and i smoke. Its our own life. Beer is a drug too.
Being anxious is part of life, and should not be eliminated by alcohol or drugs. HPPD is another story, its unknow and weird, and we want to enjoy.. everyone has their own strategy, simple. Read what you want, do what you want..
My focus is still on medication, (weed is no med for me) Nature will not heal me after almost 4 years of intens HPPD.
