I'd be willing to go out on a limb and say that cannabis is a lot worse than caffeine in this respect. I have known quite a few people who smoked cannabis daily, and while they didn't seem to notice they were mentally slow (compared to their normal selves) and almost entirely unmotivated.
Still better than alcoholism of course. But we shouldn't pretend that their aren't issues with every day cannabis use.
- lillecarl 5y agoI mean it all depends on dosage right? And if you're smoking more CBD or THC. I had a friend who overconsumed caffeine until his heart rhythm started going bananas and he was hospitalized. But I've known many people who got stuck in the druggo trench, be it because of cannabis or not, a common denominator was they were all smoking weed.
- nicoburns 5y agoWell sure, but that's true of literally everything. Drink too much water and you'll be in hospital. A small enough amount of cyanide will be fine. I think it's fair to assume a "normal dose".
- np- 5y agoI mean if we are going with “knowing people” as an anecdote, I know a LOT of extremely rich, successful, and motivated people (especially in SF and NYC) who smoke cannabis basically nonstop.
