Initially, THC boosted brain metabolism and synaptic protein levels, indicative of heightened cognitive processes. Subsequently, it shifted towards reducing metabolic activities in the body akin to the effects seen with caloric restriction or intensive exercise, known for their anti-aging benefits.

I've been stoned consistently since covid started. The only "sober" time is when I sleep. I don't think younger, but most things don't bother me. Want to improve your brain? Find consistent ways to reduce stress and perform them daily(like an hour walk outside). That will make you feel and think like a younger you.

You're definitely not sober when you sleep or you'd be talking about the wild ass/sometimes horrific dreams you get when you cut your intake.
