Why do you think taking drugs makes people complacent?
- vkou 5y agoCannabis isn't exactly a stimulant. Have enough, and all you'll want to do is eat junk food and sit on the couch all day.
- eurasiantiger 5y agoYou are perpetuating a stereotype, loudly exclaiming ”this poster has no clue what they’re writing about”.
- pmoriarty 5y ago"Cannabis isn't exactly a stimulant." I've read of psychological studies where people were told they were given THC while being told it was a stimulant, and the users reported stimulant effects and acted as if they were given a stimulant. The mind is a powerful thing.
- pmoriarty 5y agoerrr... I meant people were given THC while being told it was a stimulant...
- LargoLasskhyfv 5y agoIt depends on the breed/sort, resulting in different proportions of the active components. Also the age, and resulting decay of these into other stuff. It all varies and is much more complex than a simple percentage of 10% THC, 5% CBD, and so on. That can be a vague guide, but not more. The non-sense marketing naming of strains doesn't help there, either.

- bamboozled 5y agoSounds a bit like a bad stereotype no?
- ogwh 5y agoIf by bad you mean accurate.
- bamboozled 5y agoI could give you a list of a lot of weed smokers who don't fit the profile, I think you're trolling though :)
- LargoLasskhyfv 5y agoBS! Depends on the sort of cannabis. And the metabolism/neuroarchitecture of the user also. I had weed that made me feel very well and relaxed, while being focused and productive, easily staying in 'flow'. Without munchies, anxiety, or hangover afterwards. Very well balanced. Problem is one does not know what sort from which source is like that. And if one finally knows, the availability of that stuff is maybe gone. Maybe it depends on what you eat and drink before? How about trying some 'adaptogenic' drink with it? Or simply pomegrenade juice? Or nice green tea? Mate? Guarana? edit: That even went so far that I had to consciously remind myself to at least eat something while being on it. Same for staying hydrated.
