What I have learned in the last year is that Cannabis can be a medicine, but when it's over-used, it can become an escape from your problems. May be common sense to a lot of people to use it responsibly, but it's easy to go from responsible use to getting baked every night after work and watching TV. Not that there's anything wrong with coming home, getting baked, and watching TV / gaming. We all gotta unwind, and that is healthy. But you just have to watch and make sure it's not interfering with your goals. It seems that the key to everything in life is moderation.

  In my experience most people lean on it as an escape from problems and it detracts from medicinal benefits and legitimate uses.

I never believed number 1 until relatively recently. After growing up in a family where work was life, it didn't make sense to me to do anything but work (even if constant work made me miserable). Now that I'm out of school and I have had a chance to see how others live their lives though, I get it now. It's difficult to enforce in myself since I've been set in my ways for a while, but actually doing things outside of work/for myself is so fulfilling!

  My experience has been that building a strong boundary between work and not-work life has made me more effective at work and made my not-work life much more enjoyable and refreshing. I don't get work emails on my phone, and my boss has only called me after hours twice in the last year, and both times it was completely understandable and didn't bother me. Giving your brain a chance to relax and focus on other things rejuvenates its capability to solve problems when you need it to.

From my experience, cannabis can be medicine but most people just smoke bad stuff they don't know or get addicted to either real cannabis or the bad stuff. Cannabis unlike, say mushrooms, is addictive so watch out. It can make one crave, especially if they experienced neglect, bullying, or violence in childhood. Enjoy it with moderation! :)

  i would make the argument that anything can cause a psychological dependency if it triggers your reward system in your brain properly. so sure, cannabis is addictive, but then again, so is sugar, running, driving cars at really high speeds, positive attention from others, and so many more things :) that being said, i do think people should be careful with their consumption and make sure that they are actually using it for what they claim and not just using their claims as a false justification for just mindless consumption. that isn't to say that recreational consumption is bad, because in that context it isn't mindless, it is specifically being done for recreational purposes. but ultimately it's just important that one is doing what they actually want to do and not just pretending to want to do it for some ulterior motive

  What is the "bad stuff"? What do you mean by that?
  - Anti-fascist 7y ago
    When it is mixed with some other chemicals to either increase its amount to increase the "high" effect. Not sure what kind of canna-ibis you take (e.g., grass? hashish?), but hash is usually mixed with all sort of things where I live. Grass can also be sprayed.
