      You really should learn more about drugs before you start throwing terminology around.

      Weed doesn’t really fit the upper/downer dichotomy because cofactors like the various terpenes and cannabinoids other than THC.

      It can have both stimulant and system depressant effects.

      Unlike opium, marijuana usage has not been linked with overdose and isn’t anywhere near as addictive.

      Thc has been implicated in exacerbating mental health issues like schizophrenia but it has not been linked with direct physical damage to our bodies. Besides smoking which obviously always carries a risk.

      Regardless, your opium hyperbole is like comparing caffeine to meth amphetamine. It’s utterly ridiculous to anyone with any knowledge on the subject.

        Uh-huh. I’ve done enough drugs to know a downer from an upper. Weed is an upper only in the way benzo withdrawals are “stimulating”.

        Muh weed not addictive

        Yes and? And lol many plebs still get “”“addicted”“” to it anyway.

        Muh terpenes

        Non-THC cannabinoids

        Can’t spell methamphetamine

        Bro is cooked.

        You are right, I am comparing meth and coffee, coffee is for normatron dweebs and all it does is make em twitch and I’d rather do meth anytime.

        I’d rather be addicted and OD’ing on something that gets me something than waste my life on “terpenes” that aren’t linked to overdose.
