  1. I like what Jonah said in your latest podcast regarding cannabis; I believe that not getting it after being on it for a while is what causes depression and so forth because of the neuro-endocrine system relying on it, but it should subside after normal functioning of the endocrine system returns, depending on the user. Also, paronoia might stem from stigma attached to it. Who knows how it would be if it were treated like coffee/caffeine?
