Music Banter - The Recreational Drug Thread

it may, but it can increase the probability of not experiencing anxiety all the same (depending on the user's state of mind/his or her environment), and it's this equilibrium that renders your point immaterial. i understand what you're getting at, but you're only seeing one side of the coin here.

I'm not just seeing one side of the coin ..

As I've posted, I'm aware that most people who use it likely won't have any problems with anxiety.

@Toretoden: You have forgot to include one important factor. Many people who say they feel anxiety while on the drug are only feeling that because of their lack of knowledge about the drug. That is why experienced/everyday pot users do not constantly feel this anxiety. If you were to take something you did not know much about you also would feel some anxiety from the unexpected feelings/events the drug brought up.

*Most of the anxiety is created not by the drug but because one is on the drug and doesn't know what to expect. Once the drug is understood the anxiety factor slowly leaves. If you were to take mushrooms for the first time you would feel a lot of anxiety because you would have no idea what to expect and whats normal.

Smoked today. No anxiety. But I was in an awful mood. Smoked last night too, and again, awful mood.

*sigh*
