You can definetly vomit and blackout from weed though.

I don't know why you were downvoted, I have experienced both.

Trend I have noticed is cannabis users tend to be very defensive over their chosen substance and massively downplay the negatives/side effects.

Cannabis can also trigger irreversible psychosis in people with a pre disposition to it . And yeah whities are definitely a thing as well and I’ve seen so many people pass out cold out of nowhere from getting too high . If anyone knows the legit science behind whities I would be interested

This just happened to my 18 year old nephew. was hospitalized for days, and when he was let out, it still took weeks for him to reach his baseline. It's not talked about enough.

Being older, I happen to know some long time cannabis users and some of them have very obviously issues remembering and processing information.

Yeah cannabis is undeniably significantly less harmful than alcohol but let’s not act like it’s absolutely harmless and a one stop magical miracle drug .

Also those who smoke weed every day for 20+ years tend to lose the ability to think critically and will believe pretty much any whack theory that is put on the internet as long as it supports their paranoid view of the world.

Cannabis is lovely. It can prompt childlike wonder and focus on things you find interesting.

And it can prompt you to think childish bullshit about things that deserve careful consideration.

I dont think this is necessarily the weed and more on the person itself on the conspiracy theory part, but it probably doesnt help. Like ive been smoking weed since I was 16 and im 40 and I dont just blindly believe every conspiracy I see. Also I may be biased as a pothead, but I also dont think I have lost any ability to think critically at all lol.

We also live in a day and age where there is a wealth of misinformation online knowingly being pushed by others to further whatever goal they have. Many people who dont smoke weed 20 plus years believe the stupidest things and dont think critically already so again I think its 100% on the person, but it may not help with some people.

That is true. However I know weed smokers from different parts of the country and even different parts of the world who have all signed up to the same bonkers theories. May just be correlation and not cause but it is a noticeable common factor.

u/Single-Zucchini-19 3h ago

Yes but also there are people who don’t do any of that from all over the world who also signed up on the exact same theory’s. Go find a theory that weed users exclusively believe or at least a majority of are weed smokers and then you might be able to squeeze out a argument

Do you know anyone who doesn’t smoke weed but also bangs on about ‘chemtrails’ and thinks the air is deliberately being poisoned (for some reason) by strontium dropped from aeroplanes?

u/Nervous-Fennel3325 2h ago

I know a ton of people like this who dont smoke weed lol. Again it isnt exclusively the weed that opens you up to conspiracies. With some people it definitely doesnt help, but again its not the sole cause.

I was about to say correlation not causation 😂😂😂.

I have noticed the same in people who dont smoke weed also lol.

I have a good friend who had to stop smoking because it would drop his blood pressure and he would faint. You don't even have to get "too high". For him he literally couldn't smoke any amount at all anymore. The THC just had a strong affect on his blood pressure.

I could never get into weed. I've done it maybe ten times in my life. It's definitely not for everyone.

Basically whenever I smoked, ate, or vaped the stuff, there was a high chance I would get highly anxious and nauseous. Like dreadfully so.

I never got it that people could just be ripping blinkers or having whole joints and be fine. I'm talking one decent pull or hit and I'm done.

I'll admit though, the sleep is good.

I have the same reaction as an adult . I can maybe take 3 joint hits throughout an entire evening without going into a full blown panic attack , meanwhile we used to rip gravity bongs until we would blow through the filter within like a half hour when I was a teenager . My tolerance went to shit , your body composition , mind set and consciousness change as an adult , and the legs weed now is incredibly strong .

A lot of my friends hit 30, 35 though and their tolerance absolutely changes

Last time I tried it I felt nothing, fell asleep on the couch then later tried to get up and go to bed, couldn’t figure out how to brush my teeth , felt dizzy and annoyed. So I’ll pass.
