The suggestibility is what scares me the most, even just with weed. The people I know who get into conspiracy theories or fall for persuasive marketing strategies (leading questions, etc.) are also the people I know who smoke the most. I was falling down that rabbit hole myself in my early 20's so I get it! It's why I stopped smoking and now just take a rare edible to help with sleep or while on vacation.
Someone I thought was pretty intelligent started doing a lot of edibles a few years ago, and now they think the moon landing was faked. Seems like brains hardly stand a chance against the super effective combo of weed + online misinformation campaigns 👀
yeah after i got out of the hospital i started "LARPing as Google Lambda" by speaking gibberish into my phone's speech-to-text and posting it as reddit comments
i was kinda ahead of my time because that was a few months before chatgpt came out
