Hi upstream - I see two flaws in your question - firstly, you're assuming that simply because twins are made up of the same genetics that they will respond to stress in the same manner. That simply is not true. Secondly, you're assuming that each twin will respond to getting high from pot in the same manner, (or not getting stoned in the same manner). Genetics make a portion of your reaction to life experiences but is not the end all. Each individual will respond in their own way.

Personally, when I first starting smoking pot it quenched a lot of my anxiety but that changed dramatically over time. What once worked eventually stopped working. I have friends, who in times of trauma, smoked pot and it put them over the edge. I don't think Anthony meant that pot reduces stress in EVERY individual, however it has been proven that it does reduce stress for others.

I don't mean to speak on Anthony's behalf, but that is simply what I gathered from his statement.

This conversation has been interesting.
