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")

With enough tolerance, you don't get stoned anymore. This is where you want to be, side-effects gone, just the good stuff left.

Marijuana is dirt cheap compared to any prescription medication, at least in the US.
