Weed tends to bring out a person's true inner nature. People who act like dopes are more than likely already a dumbass or lazy without it. I was one of the top graduates in my class for engineering and I smoked weed quite frequently; I studied on it, did homework on it, etc. It helped me get over, not just subside, depression and gave me my life back. I stopped it on a dime with no real withdraw for a job and have stopped since. The only odd thing about weed I noticed is that you don't really dream or recall dreams. That was it for me.
Find a better way to describe it. That is about the only primary commonality between most people I can find since there can be extreme polar reactions to people using it; but mind you the strain is important too. Though my personal experience with weed it dampens emotionally traumatic events without cutting off your emotions like most antidepressants and it makes life more enjoyable overall and makes even the menial tasks more enjoyable. There are those that can get very paranoid on it but I surmise those people do not like or are not used to dealing with their thoughts and emotions; they tend to repress both from what I have observed. The third type, which is considered the general stereotype is the stupid acting, lazy type; these are people, if given the option and no weed, would sit on their ass and do nothing with their lives. Ultimately weed makes a person more likely to act how they would naturally when left alone; their true nature.
Alcohol does along with a lot of other drugs, however, you cannot typically function on their or perform the tasks well; not to mention the other side affects that go along with the drug; and alcohol tends to amplify powerful emotions and not dampen them. Stress only reveals the fight or flight mechanics of a person and are a good measure of a person overall gauging on how far they will go to relieve the stress, such as stabbing a friend in the back to save their own ass.
And you are a genuine retard if you believe that about humanity. Humanity has the capacity to be great but we are a pack animal and our leaders are screwing us; Humans are nothing more than the environment we put them in on average. How about instead of whining about humanity and cutting it down, go out and be an example. I know it takes effort but if you want to fix the problem then give humanity a good model to follow.
Please humor me…. where did I ever suggest a false reality? And for that matter what is a true reality? What's that expression… beauty is in the eye of the beholder?
I touched upon it but in general if can be categorized in 3 different ways. Indica - body high; Sativa - Mind high. Hybrid - both with results scaling on sativa/indica strength. You do the math on what the results tend to be; its not very complicated.
