Sour Diesel
4/10/2023
Holy shit.
This strain made me figure out I'm autistic. I was a bit socially awkward as a kid -- I wasn't, like, actively bullied for the most part, but I also didn't have many friends. I definitely had some sense that I was different than the people around me on some level. This got better in middle and high school, but by the end of high school, a lot of my life felt fake in a way I couldn't quite describe. I felt like I was putting on a show constantly without really feeling my emotions.
I vaped some Sour Diesel yesterday, and it felt like something loosened itself in my mind. I was feeling things so much more intensely, in a way that wasn't just the effects of the weed. I kept trying to pinpoint what the change was, but I couldn't figure it out because it was just such a hardhanded feeling of being ME. Eventually, it hit me that all of the ways it was externally affecting me were autistic traits. I've since been able to find that place in my mind again. It's like a whole other sense that I've been blocking out in my attempts to seem less awkward and fit in with neurotypical society
Hard to say if this was in any way caused by the strain, but regardless, it was a pretty good high. One of the only strains to not give me anxiety, which I appreciate, and just gives you a very well-rounded, predictable high. I think in small doses, it'd be great for managing anxiety whilst still staying reasonably lucid, and in large doses it's great for fucking you up.
