I mean, l-theanine is a drug. Caffeine is a drug. So tea and coffee are drugs. Would you approach them with the same caution you do marijuana? Alcohol is a drug.
At the end of the day, the threshold of “is a drug” is fairly low and meaningless on its own.
This article isn’t even that persuasive to make it sound like marijuana is bad.
At least with caffeine I would approach it with caution similar to marijuana. Dosages above 300 mg/day are shown to have negative health effects. In general it is fine. Marijuana is also generally safe, but can have negative effects if you take too much or use too often.
People rarely refer to theanine as a drug. It’s more of a dietary supplement (food). It’s an amino acid.
L-theanine has mind altering effects. I see no reason to not include it in the same category. And that you do, really makes.me wonder why you have arbitrary lines in the sand on things. And your response is absolutely a different take than your initial one. Plus it’s not even technically the same topic, which was addiction.
You very much weren’t arguing “just use weed in moderation” with your “at the end of the day it’s a drug” bit.
The point I am trying to make is that it’s not harmless. There’s positives and negatives. I just know a lot people(and have seen people argue online) who can’t stop talking about the positives and act like there’s literally no risk. It has risks.
They’re not extreme or anything that means it should be banned but there is risk. To argue otherwise would be disingenuous. I think people are either being deliberately disingenuous, or maybe they literally don’t know that there is potential risk with marijuana use.
