Can you respect folks who are treating mental/emotional pain or just physical?

Can you respect folks who are treating mental/emotional pain or just physical?
- gedy 3mo agoThe folks I know who attempt to 'treat' themselves with substances generally just get worse. That's not a judgement, just an observation.
- switchbak 3mo agoThere are (illegal) substances that are highly effective for treating these issues, PTSD, etc. Psilocybin, ibogain, etc. Obviously when administered correctly, with therapy, etc. It seems to me that cannabis users aren’t seeing the benefits of the aforementioned group. My experience of cannabis stoners is that it’s used to numb out and for escapism, which certainly aligns with what you’re saying.
- ck2 3mo agosure but you aren't going to help mental/emotional problems by getting stoned there are far better, legal supplements to treat that anyway, less expensive too dope activates AMPK in the brain/CNS and turns off AMPK in the body/heart it's an incredibly stupid thing to do to yourself (also why people get "the munchies") literally why it's called dope (before dope meant "cool")
- galleywest200 3mo ago> less expensive too Marijuana is dirt cheap compared to any prescription medication, at least in the US.
- switchbak 3mo agoThey did say “legal supplements”, not prescriptions. But I’m not sure what they’re actually suggesting.
- sscaryterry 3mo agoWith enough tolerance, you don't get stoned anymore. This is where you want to be, side-effects gone, just the good stuff left.
