    Predators and prey will always maintain some equilibrium, yes. But you can simply look outside and see that equilibrium typically includes a shit ton of other bugs (or birds, or mice, etc). You can also look at homes with serious infestations to see that this organic control alone doesn’t typically keep pest populations in check. Nobody has ever gotten rid of roaches by introducing spiders. Sometimes you do get infestations of spiders though, in which case the spiders are usually eating each other.

    Generally, inside your home there are other factors keeping pest populations in control. With a few very notable exceptions, most insects do not actively breed indoors because the climate conditions are not correct, or there is not access to food, or they don’t like the vibrations and noise. Most of what spiders in your home catch are bugs which get in by accident and would simply die in one way or another.

    Yeah I literally never heard of this before like 2022, and basically every friend I’ve had for the better part of 30 years has been a daily user at some point. This includes dabbing, concentrates, edibles, etc. so it isn’t just a potency thing. These are people who were basically stoned every waking minute of every day in college and early careers. There’s definitely something fishy here.

    Incidentally, everyone is doing fine professionally as well. Lawyers, engineers, doctors, entrepreneurs, and so on. So even the previous propaganda of “weed makes you lazy and dumb” is BS too.

    This cuts both ways. As a person with extremely real AuDHD I actively hide that information from most people because so I don’t have to have this exact fucking conversation with every person I meet. “ADHD huh, you know that’s over diagnosed right?”

    Thanks doctor, I’ll make sure I write that information down so I can use it later.

    Sometimes it’s even worse, and people get actively hostile about it. “Yeah, I might have a PhD as well if I had an Adderall prescription.”

    It’s just not helpful. Let the doctors do their thing. If we catch some false positives then so be it. You worry about you, and let other people worry about themselves.
