The number of times a doctor has said “You know, cannabis can cause depression…” or “It’s a depressant like alcohol”. Like sure, I get that overuse can snap back and leave some neurotransmitter gaps, and I’m very mindful of that. It’s not the best situation to feel off without it, but that’s not always the case. You know what I’ll definitely feel off without? Any prescribed meds. And I’m not even dissing those because they’ve helped. I get it though, it makes their job harder when dosage is near impossible to regulate.
Only once or twice has a doctor or therapist told me “Look, you’re the one who’s used it for the better part of a decade, you know more than me about how it affects you”. I know the attachment/crutch can be an issue at times, but usually that’s because people tend to scoff and assume abuse, and so naturally you feel like an outsider.
