Coming here to ask this as it’s as good place to get some others views without being instantly judged as an ass hole… I hope!
So I have a 10 month old and last year I was accepted as a cannabis patient legally in the Uk which is still a new thing here and I have been put on due to low mood issues and anxiety. I had 10 years or typical ssri anti depression meds with no success, it’s worth mentioning prior to being medical for cannabis I hadn’t had it since being about 16 and even then it was like 3 times , so I wasn’t what you call a stoner.
When the baby was born I straight away stopped the vaping of cannabis and have only very recently picked it back up again, before this I started having g a drink or two each night when the baby was in bed and it was making me worse , I hate alcohol and how it made me feel afterwards but during after the baby was in bed it was all I could do to relax and it turned to a self meditation thing.
I noticed the increase in alcohol every night and how it probably wasn’t helping so over the last week I have gone back to vaping dry cannabis (around 0.1g) after work and I put the baby to bed. Yes I’m serious 0.1g is all I need to take the edge off work stress and lighten my mood as I’m a serious light weight.
What’s other dads opinions or cannabis with a family ? I feel like I’m doing something I shouldn’t but it’s helping me stop w more toxic habbit and it’s also helping me in that the following day I’m more up beat and able to work more getting my stuff in order to improve long term. I’m able to get up so the breakfast and go to the gym before work as an example and I could never have gone and worked out while I was drinking at night. Can’t stress enough here that I use only when the baby is asleep and I have tiny amounts, I’m not going for couch locked and getting fucked up and my partner is great with it, she has her nights of a glass of wine etc at the weekends and I can be responsible in cases of emergencies then.
As I say curious to see what dads think, given a lot of you will be in places where cannabis is looked on more liberally than it is here in the uk .
TLDR stopped medial cannabis when baby was born now 10 months old and noticed I had increased drinking as self medication, moved back to cannabis vaping when baby is in bed to help with my depression etc what do others think of this type of use ?
Edit : those concerned by a deeper issue at play and advising I get help, the way medical cannabis works in the UK is this has to be done or you aren’t prescribed, I had to demonstrate a list of previous meds and therapy sessions before being considered, i then got viewed by a panel of doctors that make the decision.
I don’t not get wasted on cannabis I use what is classed a d a micro dose in the evenings to help with anxiety and low mood. Whilst having weekly sessions with a therapist.
