Call center to cold call people and ask their opinions on popular songs being played on the radio.

You'd play them samples of songs and ask them to rate them. Their responses were gathered for marketing research.

Some people really don't like getting cold calls (myself included) especially when you're male and asking to speak to their wife.

Red flag one was having to pass a spelling test as part of the job interview.

I thought the nightmares were just me, thanks for sharing
Depends on how heavily you're using.

If you're smoking all day and quit cold turkey, you'll be cranky for a few days either way. The craving for nicotine never feels completely gone, unlike cannabis. (Neither were as hard as alcohol.)

Quitting/pausing the use of cannabis has some immediate benefits compared to nicotine, more energy, fewer mood swings.

Using cannabis recreationally, regularly.

I've voted twice to (successfully) repeal prohibition laws in states I've lived in, and would do it again.

Cannabis dependency is real however, and it's the "safe" drug compared to, say, heroin; but I'd recommend taking breaks, or consider stopping.
