I notice people are referring to cannabis as "mind altering". Certainly can be. But there are strains and ingestible products that are NOT mind altering. Often the ratio of THC to CBD determines this. High CBD typically means little or no psychoactive effect, while high THC is the opposite.

Antidepressants etc are considered "medications" but really they are "drugs". Cannabis is considered a "drug" but is actually a "medication". See what I did there?
