Or just a negative funk. I have that with Aurora Indica.
But it ends when the cannabis wears off.
I hope this 'psychosis inducing cannabis' isn't going to
be an ongoing theme for prohibitionists.

That's a good idea, but I don't see any real mental health issues
with cannabis.

Well who could object to that? As long as no one goes
out and tries to 'ban' THC because of it's 'psychosis
inducing properties'.
Marijuana today is no different than the sativa dominant
strains of the sixties and before. Names like "Mauie Wowie"
and 'Acapulco Gold' are decades old, and even back in
the day were known to be very good sativas.
The entire 'the cannabis of today is not the cannabis
you actually know from smoking in college' theme is
about painting cannabis today as radically different.
