GN, I didnt want to say nay about two of the named drugs, but youre right about pot too. Not only did my short stint of pot cause worse anxiety, it made me paranoid. And gave me bad headaches. I did not try it for long. At least in my case, it made me feel worse and very out of it. I can see how it kills motivation. And I tried it back in the 70s.
Maybe it does help some but not all. in my opinion some, not all, just want to stay high. I do believe it blurs reality. I dont see how daily users can be productive. To me it was like being slowed down in body, reflex and brain, yet it scared me.
Biscuit I really appreciated your post. I noticed that the folks here who have kids who use pot often tend to do very little with their lives. I believe pot is a prominant feature in failure to launch adult kids. Yet they claim its harmless. I dont buy it
I forgot to add that I once ate five hot dogs after pot. Extreme munchies, I guess
