Weird, you should look into those Cannabis culture histories and current state.
Thank you. I will take your suggestion about past cultures and research cannabis use effects on societal prowess. I would also admit that it is difficult to tease out the effect of cannabis only, cannabis with alcohol, and alcohol only on different people and their society. Don’t even put opiates or mental health in the mix.
I do know from experiences with friends who used cannabis for a long time that it did “blunt” their motivations and aspirations...I also have a vet whose office is next store to a cannabis dispensary....having spent hours waiting for the vet to see my cats, I watched most of the cannabis customers “shuffle” in , wearing sloppy attire, with depressed faces, and showing up in poorly kept vehicles. That, and my interactions with friends who used cannabis, has influenced my impression of the amotivational effects of the plant on them and society in general.
