Since Canada's legalization of cannabis five years ago, researchers say the policy has had mixed results in terms of public health and justice reform.

Cannabis isn't a hallucinogen. You could call it a "recreational drug" when not used for medical purposes.

Every drug is a recreational drug when not used for medical purposes.

Sure. Did you think I was implying otherwise?

[-] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I thought you were implying that hallucinogen and recreational were two types of drug. So yeah, kinda.

[-] LostWon@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I see. I was just using an umbrella term.

Cannabis is traditionally classified as a hallucinogen. For example, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) considers it as such.

I clearly need to get better weed then... I don't see, feel, hear, taste, or smell anything that's not there when I've had some gummies. All I get it a good night's sleep.
