For sure, but that's an association. Which one actually caused the other? eg. perhaps you got into a state of mind that was less emotionally labile and so decided to take a break.
- jochem9 3y agoThat's not my experience. Sometimes I don't use cannabis for a while and feel fine. Then, while still feeling fine I unexpectedly end up in a situation where I can smoke a joint. Maybe it shows up at a birthday party. The days after there is a noticable change in my emotion regulation (less stable, easily feeling down).
- naasking 3y agoThere are other confounders associated with parties though, like drinking, staying up late, talking with people leading to innate comparisons with one's own life, etc. all of which affect one's mood. I'm not entirely skeptical of the possibility of a cannabis effect, just saying not to be too hasty in generalizing.
