I think there has to be a meeting point between endocannabanoid system and vagal ventral dorsal theory. I can only regulate if my endocannabanoid system is working properly Anecdotal and subjective statement but it comes after many years of post grad study and personal experience as a clinician and person who suffers from extreme anxiety if things go wrong or if confronted by sudden abrupt changes. Cannabis small doses seems to buffer this and gives me head space to breathe properly and think instead of being catastrophic
@ericnewport941 For many (though not for everyone )social support comes from fellowship with others who share goals. The main goal tends to be abstinence from all substances including alcohol, though not sugar or tobacco caffeine unless specifically intended as a dietary or smoking sensation group. So when someone goes for support for drinking, there is pressure to abstain from all other substance, as a conditionality for group acceptance. It's unwritten and often unconscious discrimination that can deny people the double benefits of reciprocal support and continued use of low amounts of drug of choice in order to achieve an equilibria state. Because the current axiom is an addict is unable to use anything. So many people leave treatment detoxed but still dysregulated or leave Because they might have wanted to smoke some cannabis instead of scoring alcohol or any other drug. It's kind of a silly yet lethal situation and these more indepth systems based theories of regulation and environmental context offer a lot of hope but we have to move beyond 12 step dogma. Using the word dogma, where 12 step is the only available treatment option and not saying 12 steps are dogmatic They're actually very useful as a template for getting through life at times for many. Neurodivergence has come a long way since the Sally Ann doll experiments but understanding substance use is stuck in the mid 20th century.
