Never noticed any difference from pre-AD experiences.
As for the negative side effects:
-first of all, show me one of the "legal" ad's, benzo's, etc. that is discussed here that don't have undesireable side effects -- don't think it exists.
-secondly, I think everyone here is familiar with the "your mileage may vary" aspect of meds. Just because some of us have had less than perfect experiences with a particular medication/drug does not mean that all will, nor that it has no place in the psychotropic arsenal.
Personally - and this is of course purely my opinion - I think alcohol is more "dangerous" societially, than "weed" is. Alcoholism, and all of it's associated collateral damage, clearly seem far more significant than any that result from "weed-ism" - that is if it's even addictive. (For example, people don't ingest mj and become beilgerant and beat people up - be it in a bar, in the home, etc. -- getting the munchies seems much less socially harmful)
Sorry if I sound beligerant or preachy - I don't mean to... I just find the acceptability of alcohol along side the demonization of mj to be rather hypocitical... And I guess I would take the same perspective with respect to medications that are controlled/prescribed compared to mj - as mentioned earlier, both have potential to help, as well as potentially undesireable side effects.
As I said above, this is purely my opinion. Don't mean to offend anyone. And just for the record, I don't have a problem with the legality/availability of alcohol - I do drink. Also, I quite rarely smoke "weed" these days.
(btw - please ignore any spelling errors - don't have a dictionary at hand)
