I think dosage plays a role that a lot of users might not understand. I was introduced to marijuana in a college setting and would seemingly randomly have a very hard time with the effects of the drug. In hindsight, I was trying to be macho and take huge hits in a circle of college guys, and I simply had too large of a dose.

But yes I get what you are saying. A larger dose can be nice to kind of shut off for a while, and many users do that intentionally. I just want to articulate this distinction, which is that a large dose (varies by user) of marijuana will make a person pretty slow and forgetful. More controlled lower doses of the right strains can actually have helpful uplifting effects.
