If it isn’t for you it isn’t for you and it’s no fun when people try to force it on you.
That said, most of the stories like this are from overdoing it which happens a lot when you have little to no tolerance and some people are much more prone to it than others. Starting out with weed is a lot like riding a bike in that it can take a few spills before you learn how to handle everything at once. Convincing someone to get back on a bike is easier than asking them to try psychedelics again though. Interesting to me that we’re more afraid of our thoughts than physical pain so often. I’m smoking weed about it.
I wholly agree. What’s interesting in my case is that I’ve done a ton of psychedelics in my life, both natural and synthetic, and have only had a single negative experience by overdoing it. I love them. I miss them. Not really something I have room for in my life anymore. But weed absolutely wrecks me at the chemical level. I guess my mom was the same way.

Not to argue against weed, but it’s actually bad for some people who have a certain genetic predisposition.
For some, it can be harmful regardless of whether they have good supervision or they need to learn how to handle the high.
It is known to exacerbate schizophrenia symptoms and hence is not recommended to people with those tendencies.
Edit: I don’t remember the source, I remember this from the kurzegesagt videos on it.

Their more recent video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBRaI0ZeAf8&t=8 (This is a more recent video and is based on more concrete science. They’re a lot more optimistic in this one).
