I agree that cannabis could replace some of the others but not sure about stimulants (having done plenty of both from late 1980s to mid 2000s).

I have only very occasionally encountered any form of cannabis that has significantly increased both my motivation and creativity which is the main reason many people take stims (irrespective of whether or not they have any diagnosed medical issues such as ADHD). Thats not to say such varieties do not exist but they just seem difficult to obtain ; not sure whether it is because of scientific complications with growing the stuff; market forces or a combination of both.

Marijuana isn’t replacing amph or benzos if you have a legit anxiety disorder, plenty of people prescribed those two substances will use cannabis as an adjunct for their condition but wouldn’t be trying to cease adderall, xanax or what have you. As for the other drugs i think cannabis definitely could replace weak painkillers such as vicodin and don’t know enough about ambien or zoloft to say.

Nah but plenty of people smoke up when their adderall IRs wear off or smoke on their adderall XRs and i’m sure plenty of people in europe who are into base enjoy mixing it with cannabis but there isn’t the same kind of dopamine release giving you the pep to get shit done with cannabis so it is folly to think it could replace something it doesn’t function in the same way as.

Very true, having stims but nothing to smoke can be a right miserable time but I put that down to just normally smoking way too much weed and it was an essential for comedowns. Does it replace the need for the stim in the 1st place or in any way replicate those effects, no it does not.
