We don't have a mature culture around cannabis usage. Alcohol has this benefit, and we have some social norms on how to enjoy it. A big one is the "don't drink before 5" adage. Norms like this for weed will develop in time, I'm sure.

We live in different bubbles. I certainly live in a social circle that has a mature view on cannabis. Perhaps it's Amsterdam.

I smoke about 6 to 12 times per year, mostly THC/CBD (Dutch weed), sometimes CBD only (specifically, weed from Switzerland).

Dutch weed: 3 to 5 puffs and I'm fine. Smoking half a joint or more is definitely overdosing it, feeling cold and uncontrollable tremors can occur.

Swiss weed: I smoke half a joint.

Yeah, wake and bake is a bad cultural norm for weed. Then again, smoking at 4:20 would mirror the "no day drinking" norm.

I'm seeing the opposite quite often where I live, people who are quite a bit into weed usually end up needing to bake in order to sleep more comfortably.

Maybe they are having problems sleeping to begin with.

Likely, but also cannabinoids can interfere with sleep. A regular user can experience night sweats when they do not have cannabinoids, depending on frequency of use

Preferable to waking up to panic attacks from dream content.
