Many, not sure what they all were though. Apparently he's ok until he smokes the stuff, although that may not be entirely accurate.
Heh...
I've seen plenty of angry people that smoke weed but I agree they are calmer while stoned, although for some it seems to make them anxious and paranoid, the problem is I often find it ultimately makes them worse because eventually they become heavily dependent on it to feel what they consider 'normal', thus prioritising it over more important things in their life, in my old house for instance people would get into rent arrears because apparently they needed weed "to cope", their idea of coping was being monged out of their heads and if they didn't have any weed they would be quite violent and aggressive.
The weed just stopped them from addressing any real issues they had, smoking just puts things on the back burner rather than actually dealing with their problems, it gets to a stage where can't even deal with normal life without being stoned, obviously this isn't the case for everyone that smokes weed but I've seen this happen to many people around me, the majority in fact, cannabis is a very complex drug imo.
Sounds reasonable, can see how that would happen...
Funnily though, anxiety and paranoia are things that a good strain that's been well grown (ideally with high levels of CBD) will actually help reduce.
Anxiety and Paranoia are most commonly generated by strains with a bad THC:CBD ratio (ie, lots of THC and next to no CBD), they need to balance each other out.
You're going to think this is me just trying to back up my own view with this comment, but the biggest cause of this imbalance are cash cropping criminals brought about by prohibition.
They frequently harvest early, before the plant is fully ripe. THC turns in to CBD and can be monitored by the colour of the tricomes. So THC will form first and after time (and dark), some of this matures in to CBD. If you harvest too early, you'll have much more THC than CBD. Think of them as harvesting green tomatoes...
So it still gets you high - it's just not the 'correct' high... if that's the best way to phrase it.
The reason for this, waiting can add 2-3 weeks to the plant lifecycle... this 2-3 weeks is lost money as people will buy it anyway. This can mean 4 crops / year turns in to 5 crops / year... quite a lot of money at the scale they're looking at. And for those looking to do fast rotations to move to a different location, every day down is a days less risk of getting caught.
To be fair, you will still get this without prohibition - but it will be much less prevalent.
I wish I could grow "professionally"... I'm rather good at it. Unfortunately even sharing a spliff at a party constitutes "dealing"... which carries a much worse penalty than simply being caught with 4 plants for personal use... so I have to be very careful, what's mine is mine... I can't share a thing. It's tempting me to move to California, with their 99 plant limit - you can make an incredible income from it (sort of) legally.
If it ever does become legal, I will be opening up a coffeeshop, that's for sure...
