> Weed is something that often makes me acutely aware of my mortality, and to an extent that is quite uncomfortable. I think this is also why some people report getting paranoid from ingesting marijuana. For whatever reason, being high on pot allows (forces?) you to look at death in a way that is far more serious and real than you normally would. Whatever that mental block described in the article is, THC seems to be an antidote. And CBD provides a buffer or counter antidote to that, since generally the more CBD content that is included, the less of this mortality effect intrudes on an otherwise perfectly good buzz. It can be quite comfortable and even joyful provided you don't go there and then dwell on it.
