    Okay, I'm so confused. I have a prescription that can't be taken with CNS depressants, but I can't find anything reliable online saying if weed is or not. Anybody know the facts??

    marijuana is not a cns depressant
    it stimulates the appetite centers of the brain, and the pleasure centers the relaxing effects pot gives are not depressant effects but anti inflammatory
    it's more of a cns stimulant

    Usually, what they are worried about is your breathing. Cannabis does not depress lung functions like opiates.

    Most people have one side more dominant than the other that defines the way we think and act. He says using marijuana helps the two hemispheres work together better for a more clear thought process.
    It's a very interesting show for anyone able to watch it.

    Marijuana is a psychedelic.

    Not a stimulant or depressant.
