        You really should learn more about drugs before you start throwing terminology around.

        Weed doesn’t really fit the upper/downer dichotomy because cofactors like the various terpenes and cannabinoids other than THC.

        It can have both stimulant and system depressant effects.

        Unlike opium, marijuana usage has not been linked with overdose and isn’t anywhere near as addictive.

        Thc has been implicated in exacerbating mental health issues like schizophrenia but it has not been linked with direct physical damage to our bodies. Besides smoking which obviously always carries a risk.

        Regardless, your opium hyperbole is like comparing caffeine to meth amphetamine. It’s utterly ridiculous to anyone with any knowledge on the subject.
