Excuse me? All of this is public knowledge. (You can read a bit about the clinic he's at here) What are you talking about?

Pot doesn't make people stupid, people make people stupid. Is there a pot equivalent of an AK47?

Why, yes. Yes there is.

I think that's definitely part of it but certain strains will make you paranoid anyway. I've had some Sour Diesel in Amsterdam this summer that made me a bit paranoid, not that it wasn't otherwise a fantastic smoke (probably my favorite Sativa). Diesels always tend to do that to me, though. The best mellow smoke I had there was probably Hindu Kush, which I dont' imagine in a million years could possibly make me paranoid. I had about half tobacco mix joint of that after not smoking for half a year or so and felt nothing but chill. It's nice to live a few hours train ride from Amsterdam as I don't smoke where I live.

Only pot is not a depressant. Depending on the strain it can very well be a stimulant.

Most people don't know Pot comes in a very wide variety of effects (and side effects). Some might make a person drowsy while another might make a person more alert. One might have a side effect of affecting short term memory. Another strain might not, but cause something else. Some strains might very well be useful for coding. There are lots of Sativa dominant strains that are very similar to amphetamines / caffiene, in that they have a stimulant effect and in many people tend to stimulate creativity. It's really impossible to say definitively marijuana does this or that with so many varieties around. Many American recreational users are just concerned with raw THC content when this matters very little (it's the balance of different Cannabinoids that makes the difference). The government's lack of attention to this issue in their propaganda does little to help. Medical users, on the other hand, have known these things for decades. You have one strain for the day, and one for the night time. If you're going to try pot, my recommendation is to do your research. Start off with an Indica dominant strain unlikely to cause paranoia (the most unpleasant side effect), and graduate up to something that is a little more cerebral and leaves you less drowsy. My personal recommendation is Hindu Kush. It's a very calming, typical Indica smoke but at the same time is totally like other Indicas in that it won't leave you drowsy
