In fairness, vaping marijuana and specifically vaping "the lower end of pure sativa" is not at all representative of the wider cannabis smoking public. In places where it's illegal in particular, you're stuck with whatever variant is currently in circulation with your local dealer and those are almost invariably high strength hybrids - because those are just more economical in a black market economy where the cash crop has ideally as little of a footprint as possible. I hate it personally because I turn into an abject moron when I'm totally stoned - which is hard to avoid when your options are so limited. If I had a choice, I would probably go for a low strength sativa as well and maybe the occasional indica when I'm suffering from pain.

Strong hybrids, CBD-only flower (aka hemp), the possibilities are endless!

Ditto. Utter drooling moron. Unless I am very careful. Basically all of my friends smoke. Half seem to handle it pretty okay. The other half turn into morons but they don't seem to care. Also have you noticed how you don't remember your dreams after smoking? I've noticed that. And I've heard it from a few other people too. I pretty much avoid it now.

  This is true. What's happening is the THC causes a delay on the onset of REM sleep. Theoretically, this should cause a sudden ramp up of dreams when you take a hiatus from cannabis use. However, this does not happen to me personally which is strange because I do experience this with alcohol - another drug that causes a delay on the onset of REM sleep :shrugs:

Yes, I am in the California Bay Area so we have probably the best selection in the world for weed products. And I do know whenever someone offers me street weed I suggest they don't, because the indica effects will make me extremely sluggish, i'll get major munchies and eat so much I get a stomach ache, and I can't really do anything productive. I guess I made my comment to highlight this distinction that it is not true that marijuana makes you unproductive full stop, but that certain strains of marijuana and/or too high of a dose will have that effect. You are right that this is hard to avoid in places without the selection I have, but that is only an argument for more legalization, not an argument that marijuana has few positive effects.
