I feel passionate about because of the experiences I had treating drug addicts & people with psychiatric conditions exacerbated or triggered by marijuana
So, are we talking about normal people ( healthy), or people with psychiatric problems? In other words....do people with a stable mind encounter problems if they smoke weed? I could see weed being a bad thing for some with mental problems as they cannot control the feeling they'll get from smoking just as they cannot now control their emotions and actions without smoking.
I'd say someone smoking it for the first time can have a bad experience as the high it gives is a feeling they never had before and a bit of paranoia or anxiety can scare a person making them never want to try it again.
I have also heard of weed affecting people in later years like it never effected them before. They say the feeling they got from it changed to a feeling they didn't like anymore and hence they stopped smoking. Oftentimes people who become so busy in life they feel they need a totally clear head decide to quit smoking. Others feel they funtion BETTER with their duties while they are high.......it depends on YOU.......i'd say thats the bottom line.
Gumby...who just noticed he just said.."i'd say" a whole bunch in this post.
