Why is it so polarizing?
Even people who used to smoke a lot just can t anymore, myself included: I used to exclusively smoke until my early 20s; Now even a couple tokes make me either feel self conscious or totally overwhelmed and „braindead“.
Others have the exact opposite effect, where it makes them super relaxed or even forget all their worries to a point that they need to stop to confront their problems.

People often forget that cannabis is not a depressant, its categorized as a hallucinogen. Your state of mind and expectations have a massively outsized effect on the experience. Alot of people begin to have negative experiences as they get older because as you get older you pile on alot of stress worry and anxiety and bring them with you into your buzz. To get the stress relief your talking about requires letting stuff go yourself when you go to relax, the cannabis wont do all of that for you.
Thats how ive always seen it atleast.
