It's funny because all it has ever done for me is the opposite. I'm a pretty energetic dude and weed has always made me want to get out and move, go and play a pickup game or something. It has also brought a different type of focus on any activity I'm doing.
I see a lot of pretty silly takes in this thread that weed automatically makes you happy with boredom somehow, and that apparently leads to a bunch of people sitting on couches zoned out who would have otherwise, with that "bored" time, gone out and learned juggling. Sounds like some grandma's opinion from the 40s.
- icelancer 8y agoNo, but the pharmacological effects are not to be ignored just because you have a different personal experience with the drug. I am on a balanced schedule of stimulants that keep me productive and not-depressed. This doesn't give me the right to tell people to take these drugs because of my personal opinion; research shows the effects of stimulant use, abuse, and misuse, and it's mostly pretty negative.
- DisruptiveDave 8y agoI think we're saying the same thing here. Look at all sides. Don't make blanket judgments. One person's experience does not necessarily become another's. Science is good, but not a guarantee.
