Definitely. It's certainly a better/less dangerous drug than alcohol. Granted it doesn't do much for me other than make me paranoid/tense more often than not. Which is the OPPOSITE of what I'm looking for.. I never got how people say it helps them unwind, relax or whatever. ALCOHOL definitely does that for me for weed is the polar opposite. My mind goes a million miles a minute on the stuff and it tends to amplify/enhance entertainment (music and movies mainly) and makes things generally funnier/more interesting but that's about all I use it for, and even that's rare these days. But still, it's a relatively harmless drug other than making you sit around and be lazy for countless hours. And I suppose one could get somewhat of a mental addiction (though not a physical one) through the dopamine effects, but again, alcohol is 100x worse as far as addiction goes, take it from me.

Now if we're talking hard drugs that are actually damaging and which one can OD on (cocaine, heroin, etc) then that's a much different story. 

When it comes to mental and physiological effects, I find that the different methods have different types of experiences. Perhaps the biggest element is the CBD ratio. I'm not sure CBD has any effect on its own, but when combined with THC it can transform the experience into something quite mellow. Although, some have said this is the indica vs sativa effect, and talk about the different terpenes - but I'm not an expert here, I normally don't pay attention to what I'm getting. These days I rarely smoke, and stick to edible oils and nanoemulsions - first, you don't have to broadcast what you're doing with smoke, and second, they're inexpensive, like 1/10th the price of smoking and/or edibles.

Another factor might be that I don't recall relaxing/unwinding on cannabis products when I was using them irregularly. I'm wondering if that's a factor?

The other thing is that for years now I've been using edible products almost exclusively.
