Okay, so... I suppose I should begin with saying that this topic is entirely about pot and my semi-addiction to it. Yes, you can get addicted to something you love... go figure! But it's also about how this addiction affects hair growth, specifically referring to face and body hair growth... gross, right? Now, normally I don't talk about this sort of thing unless I'm with people who also partake in the smoking of pot. This, being a public place, probably isn't the most ideal place for this discussion... but the "ADDICTION" subforum might just be.
My life sucks. It really does. I mean... there are so many philosophical ideas and theories about what it means to be trans... but, at the end of the day, it sucks. I was born into the wrong gender, I have hair growing out of my face and chest (not a lot, but still), a semi-dude voice, and - yeah - that all sucks to have when you're trying to be a woman. So, I try to self-medicate with marijuana in an attempt to sugar coat my crappy life, as well as give me something to do everyday. It helps me cope. I have a weak mind, sue me.
The bad news is that I feel as though it's making my hair grow faster... in ALL places. What's more, I feel like I'm growing even more hair. Which... is odd, because I'm like going on my 8th laser hair removal appointment now and hairs still seem "intact". Sure, some hairs have fallen out but I feel as though for every hair that does fall out another soon takes it's place.
If pot really is the cause of this, then it would be nice to have some closure. The sad part is that I would have to quit. And that isn't so easy... especially when basically my whole family grows and smokes it, and I'm around it constantly as a result. It's a part of my culture. I'm not a Rasta-tgirl, no, but pot has been in our family for a long time. A LONG time.
So, I guess I'm asking for advice... however, I ultimately think it will do no good and that if I really wanted to quit I would just do it. But it would be nice to have closure on this "theory", if anyone can provide. It may help me reach a decision... likely, months from now, judging by my current track record of when things actually get done in my life. :/
