>Set and setting shouldn't be a factor
my personal experience says otherwise, at least for a certain percentage of people. particularly so for infrequent smokers. had one bro that would rarely smoke and when he did, he would often have to lay down for an hour or so and become nearly catatonic. would snap out of it about an hour or so later after the peak of the experience wore off and start sketching images from the visions that were washing over him while he was resting with eyes closed. knew another that would become stuck in a negative emotional feedback loop and lose her shit if she didn't have a minder. would go on and on about how she felt she was stuck in a tunnel. another person i knew well would become completely paranoid and fixate on what he thought others thought about him and get angry over things imagined. keep in mind that i'm talking about first time smokers. for some, the first few times smoking can be somewhat similar to a mushroom or acid trip for a short duration. in my experience, the first few times smoking can be very wild rides, but that sort of intensity fades over time if one continues to smoke regularly and that is the point when it might be able to be used regularly for the anxiolytic effects.
