I understand where you’re coming from but I do just wanna say this isn’t a great argument for recreational weed. Your body has the receptors, but they are meant for what your body self produces. It’s just a coincidence that weed works on that system. The same thing is true for opioids, your body self-produces opioid-like peptides as well but it’s not like we were naturally meant to process morphine, we just happen to be able to.
My argument for recreational is just that it should be regulated to be weak. In recent history, Weed has been cultivated to be up to 900 times stronger. Weed from the 60s would have been like a gentle boost to your system, but the modern stuff floods it way over its capacity. It’s like how caffeine mimics, natural energy regulation in the body except instead of drinking one cup of coffee, you took 1000 mg of caffeine all at once.
I used to, I switched to tinctures when I realized how much stronger and potent it was than what I actually needed when I just wanted to relax. Obviously for medicinal purposes though, it’s a different threshold. If I could find any that weak (around 3-5%) I would buy it, it’s just not available anywhere anymore bc the demand isn’t there. The lowest I can find is still 22%.
Yea I used to smoke homegrown my dad would grow and so it definitely was less potent then dispensary stuff. I miss it a lot. Down here it’s dispensary or nothing. I will admit some people fr get addicted to those high potencies. I was always glad that wasn’t me bc how much I see them spending
