Marijuana is not classified as a stimulant. It is classified as a depressant, hallucinogen, or psychedelic drug, depending on the specific effects it produces. The main psychoactive compound in marijuana is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which acts on the brain's cannabinoid receptors to produce its effects.
While some people may experience increased energy, alertness, or euphoria after using marijuana, it is not considered a stimulant in the same way that drugs like cocaine or amphetamines are. Stimulants typically increase alertness, attention, and energy levels, while depressants have the opposite effect, slowing down the central nervous system.
Marijuana is more commonly associated with effects such as relaxation, altered perception, altered sense of time, and changes in mood. It can also impair coordination, memory, and judgment. Additionally, marijuana can have different effects on individuals depending on factors such as dosage, method of consumption, and individual tolerance levels.
