Can you respect folks who are treating mental/emotional pain or just physical?
sure but you aren't going to help mental/emotional problems by getting stoned
there are far better, legal supplements to treat that anyway, less expensive too
dope activates AMPK in the brain/CNS and turns off AMPK in the body/heart it's an incredibly stupid thing to do to yourself (also why people get "the munchies")
literally why it's called dope (before dope meant "cool")
The folks I know who attempt to 'treat' themselves with substances generally just get worse. That's not a judgement, just an observation.
