    It is pretty much just scaremongering. Marijuana, like any drug, can put a person in a mental state that can serve as a trigger for a psychological condition that someone is prone to, like if someone with a family history of anxiety gets way too uncomfortably high. It’s not necessarily the drug that’s at fault - it’s having a stressful experience of a bad time. I’ve never heard of psychosis induced by cannabis though.

    Marijuana is just about the safest drug there is, and I think most people could safely try it with no ill effects.

      100 times safer than ibuprofen or Benadryl.

      Never try those ones, they’ll fuck you up

          If you have a choice of substance, and you actively choose to get “high” on diphenhydramine, you are an insane person and I fear for the safety of those around you.

          And I hope the shadow people get you…

          Yeah people also smoke catnip. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should

            Smoke catnip? That’s a new one to me. Now, some catnip in herbal tea blends? That hits the spot.
