A weekend of heavy smoking and edibles can leave me feeling a bit sluggish on Monday. But also refreshed for the rest of the week.
My main concern with long term use is dream suppression. So I do take breaks frequently. Also I think it’s not a good for developing brains <25y. Cannabis is great as medicine for colds, flu, aches and a lot of more serious conditions and chronic conditions.
In the realm of things that I think the government needs to protect us from, I think cannabis prohibition is completely absurd and insidious. We barely talk about alcohol addiction and god forbid we reckon with prolific Tylenol and NSAID abuse — both of which have acute toxic effects on the body.
However the fog thing is real. I noticed it on myself when I stopped too.
It did without a doubt help me live a somewhat more normal life than if I hadn't been using it at the time.
However eventually as I got better (in general, still got acute episodes), the fog/downside outweighed the benefits.
I think it should be studied more as a form of medication. Maybe smaller doses and administered orally, as to avoid the negative side effects associated with smoking or vaping it
