“Pot is more like a psychoactive stimulant that morphs into a depressant”
Evidence to back up this assertion is?
I ask because there are 2 basic strains of cannabis: indica & sativa. Indica is what will put you “in da couch” if you use too much. I use it nightly to help me sleep & wow! I’ve been sleeping very well since I started using cannabis in Feb 2015. Much better than when depression & anxiety ruled my life the previous 25 years.
Sativa is generally uplifting when used in moderation. It keeps my depression away after the day’s work is done.
I’ve yet to feel even remotely depressed after the psychoactive effect of the medicine is over. Not a single time. I use it daily in small doses 2-3 times a day. If what you claim were true, I’d be a sniveling crybaby again.
Granted it’s not for everyone just as pharma meds don’t work for everyone. That said, I sure see a lot of “experts” making claims that just don’t hold up in light of my personal experience as a medicinal cannabis user.
Sounds like you’re speaking with someone who knows first hand, so I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss. In my own experience as well, wardaddy is correct, the pleasurable attributes that so many enjoy may not last. With extended regular use, effects tend to morph into being somewhat of a depressant and beyond that lies an exacerbation of the anxiety you’re attempting to avoid. That’s why I stopped in college. Unmotivated, but paranoid and jittery is no way to go through life, certainly not intentionally.
Don’t be obtuse about my evidence
