Well, I'm pretty sure they do discourage it. Along with other drug use such as alcohol. Although I do know someone that their Dr told them they wished cannabis was legal for them to prescribe, if it was they would prescribe it for that person. Nor sure if they were on any SSRIs but they were on a variety of other medications such as xanax, halopederidol, and others at various times. They had been diagnosed with a variety of mental illnesses over time, finally figured out it was bipolar mixed with PTSD.
ETA I don't think that coterminous is the best word to use, it does barely and loosely fit with the definition of the word but contemporaneous would be a better fit. Concurrent would be better yet. Was it perhaps the word of the day on your calendar?
Thanks for the info, I'd love to read any studies that come out of it. Although except for edibles where it can be easy for people, especially for people are unfamiliar with them to take too much and experience a bad reaction I don't see much difference between concentrates and high vs lower THC cannabis. In that people will use less of a higher THC content product and more of a lower THC content product.
As an example there was a story by a reporter who had purchased a cannabis candy bar, when she wrote about it she described how she felt like she was dying and a host of other bad reactions. When you read the story it turns out that the candy bar was 6 doses, the shop that sold it to her warned her to not take more than one dose and probably less since she hadn't used before and explained how long it could take for onset. She ate one piece, waited a bit and since nothing was happening ended up eating the entire thing.
But as I said above, that could just as easily happened in the 60s with "pot brownies". Heck I know someone that was close to that in the 80s with cannabis infused cake. They were given a couple of pieces and warned that it was strong and that they probably shouldn't eat more than half a piece. if that. They ate a whole piece and according to them were extremely stoned, and they were highly experienced in cannabis use among other things. When I say highly experienced I'm talking up to 1/4 lb a week personal use. Yes 4 ounces per week.
