Initially, THC boosted brain metabolism and synaptic protein levels, indicative of heightened cognitive processes. Subsequently, it shifted towards reducing metabolic activities in the body akin to the effects seen with caloric restriction or intensive exercise, known for their anti-aging benefits.

Same energy as "wine is good for you!" As it turns out, no. Wine is absolutely poisonous to you.

But taking 30 minutes out of your day to relax and unwind? That's good for you.

As in everything, moderation is good. Relax a little, but don't make it your whole thing. Work a little, but don't make it your whole thing. Dose a little, drink a little, dance a little, fart a little, enjoy cats and dogs a little, but my god man, change it up a little.
