Well, everyone reads something ... many have wisdom beyond... all have own (best) experiences ... the others are always bro science.. own standard is from original publications from at least one noble prize winners....
Overall, interesting questions.. you won't get ONE answer here. Read, learn, experiment 😜
Hopefully, my neutral position doesn't get burned because it's bro science to not go all out for one side😂
In my opinion if you tell yourself enough something will help and your THC level are going crazy.... if you take that thought deep within your first smoke ... the small idea will make it kick in so hard that you think your method works and everyone else is a morron. 😜
