Looks like a crap article in a crap journal. In the abstract they refer to cannabis as a stimulant, which seems quite incorrect. Also the results are unsurprising and not very exciting.

The word "stimulant" refers to this:

> The levels of G-6-PDH were increased in the brain tissues of all the treated animals (Fig. ​(Fig.5).5). Caffeine produced quite more significant effects relative to cannabis and the combination of both increased the level of G-6-PDH greatly.

Cannabis seems to bridge the gap between all major drug types with it simultaneously acting as a stimulate, depressant and psychedelic with the depressant being the most obvious to a user.
