Do you think Marijuana was meant to be a hallucinogen much like mushrooms, peyote, lsd, etc?

I wonder sometimes if pot was supposed to be a hallucinogen that made you trip just like shrooms or peyote.
I remember the first few times I smoked weed I experienced something that could maybe be called a "trip."
Maybe the reason noone normally trips on weed is because of the frequency in which it's usually used (everyday or every week, etc), opposed to the once a month or every few months that psychedelics are typically used.
If someone started taking shrooms everyday, they would eventually not trip anymore and they would probably not even get a buzz.
It probably all depends on dosage, tolerance, etc.

Weed is trippy at high doses, but very pleasant at lower doses.

doesn't make sense to me. saying it was "meant" to be a certain way would imply a god and then it would mean god made a mistake since weed is not much of a hallucinogen.
idk I kinda get what your sayin though. weed is mild hallucinogen

agreed to an extent.
i'd say it's a minor psychedelic. not quite on the level of mushrooms, dmt, lsd, etc.
it's noteworthy to mention that it doesn't interact in the brain the same way as the other psychs.

When you say meant and hallucinogen you are confining weed to a very limited description
It can be whatever you make it out to be, the experience that is.

Isn't it a different class than the traditional psychedelics?
Weed definitely has full-blown psychedelic effects at high doses, especially in edibles. The visuals and head trip increase proportionately to the dosage, just like with psychedelics.

Meant?
define "meant". I see no conscious purpose behind the existence of THC, it was developed via evolution as a benefit to the cannabis plant

Semantics aside you understand what I'm saying. Weed has the POTENTIAL to be a hallucinogen much like LSD, mushrooms, etc.
I'd definitely say I've tripped on weed before.Quote:

the theory with the most supporting evidence is always the currently most accepted theory. doesnt mean the theory is literally true. just mean it hasn't yet been replaced with a better one.

Hmmmm... that IS a distortion of reality...
Still though, bright and colorful geometric closed-eye visuals is really what I'm getting at - that's a distinctly psychedelic thang, and weed does it.
