Smoking some weed that was definitely shady.

Do your intuition was that there was something sketchy in it, but you convinced yourself it wasn’t true?

What happened?

To be honest, it looked good but something just in my gut didn’t like it. But I said fuck it, didn’t feel good for 3 days after that night. No appetite and just felt weird/high for a good few days after it

I read an article in reader’s digest as a kid. It basically said it’s good to trust your intuition because your subconscious might be seeing something that your conscious mind isn’t seeing.

The article told the story of some woman who escaped being a particular serial killer’s victim by deciding to trust her sudden feeling of fear, and getting the fuck out of the apartment where they’d been hanging out.

When she was interviewed later, she only then realized that he’d been closing windows one after another as he walked around the apartment.

At the time she didn’t consciously make the connection, but maybe her subconscious did.
