As a daily smoker I agree. Strong stuff is really fucking bad cause people have no temperance due to hit delay and almost always over do it.
The key to recreational cannabis, like any drug, is temperance and small doses make it so much harder to fail here.
Also the effects of extreme concentrations imo are borderline heroin-like as it’s just escapism rather than enhancer. I really dont get dabbing and other high concentration cannabis use - that goes against everything weed is all about.
It’s really bad if the wrong person gets a hold of it too. Suddenly latent psychosis gets triggered - which could have been healed by itself over the years, but instead destroys a life that then will become a burden to their family and the welfare system. It’s also what could lead us right back to criminalization.
Most of the irresponsible stoners in this thread don’t get that, because that care only about themselves, but as a civilized society we can’t just let that stuff run rampant.
Yeah, I used to be very libertarian with drugs but some people just suck and our society in no way ready to support and educate everyone just yet.
Its a really hard position to take as there’s no clear path here unless we spend billions on drug education and support which no one’s going to do unfortunately.
I think the next best thing we can do is regulate distribution, decriminalize possession and push education. This includes educating people how powerful and controlling high thc substance can be and taking articles like this seriously like any real psychonaut would.
