What good has Marijuana it done for you?

I've gotten sum problems from smoking this gateway drug, it's caused me to
FINALLY Quit smoking ciggs, I smoked for over 42 years 1 1/2 years w/o ciggs. now.
It also helped me quit drinking, I drank 1-2 fifths a day for 20 years haven't drank for 2 1/2 years..
No wonder my blood pressure has gone from 100/150 to 90/49, but now
I feel like I'm going to pass out when I stand up or go up 2 flights of stairs.
My Doc. backed me off 1 pill and now I'm only taking the 1 that keeps my heart from
beating out of my chest and Flowmax for the Prostate.
I'm looking forwards to getting this resolved soon.

So tell me whats it done for you?? How do you ingest it?

I really don't need to hear from the " I just like to get Hi" folks cause you really don't know it's
really helping you cope one way or another.

Helps me bring people together.
Helps me sort psychological issues myself.
keeps me from smoking cigs/drinking.
Keeps me off the streets.
Keeps me in a good mood.
Makes it so I can actually make it through a lecture!
Helps me sleep.
Used it as a substitute for cocaine when i got too deep.
Raises my tolerance for idiots.

Some of these may sound petty but in reality it just helps me cope with life because life can be hard.

Saved my life.

It's driving my personal campaign to keep local merchants of highly processed food in business. cn

I have PTSD and it really keeps me from locking myself in and being an anti-social fuckhead
Eliminates my need for a counselor/therapist
I can work thinks out better in my head when I am stoned(I overthink things when sober and it makes me stress myself out for no reason)

My friend has back problems from 40 years of physical labor and it helps him with that, he has also had about 6 concussions.

I agree and can relate with probably 70% of what THC says.

It has cut down on my cigarette smoking severely but sometimes I just don't realize it until I have it lit already in more stressful situations

Dude you geek me out.

I was put on anti depressants for PTSD, it turned me into an ass and made me suicidal.
I got off those MFers 10 years ago and just did with out till I got my script, then
I saw were I was feeling better and able to function around other people.
It works so well I forget I even suffer some times.

I was on so many different kinds of pills that just werent working for me my doctor finally said its healthier for me to just smoke pot than anything else I could be prescribed

I was on 8 diff meds just a few years ago now I only take 2 and I also no longer smoke cigs or drink alcohol

Marijuana make me feel much less aggressive, it probably saved me a lot of jail time

helps me with restless legs, sleeping, eating, putting up with bull shit in my life..I haven't quit cigs yet I guess im not ready lol

I was told to try to go on anti depressant pills ..don't like them and don't want to be on them

it has kept me from losing my mind.....................hmmmm............that can't be it

So much. I recently quit for nearly a year due to a cough and circumstances. Turned out to be mold in my new house causing the cough. Life went downhill. Then again, I was using it to replace pescription drugs (have severe skeletal injuries from a road accident).
And this isnt a whinge. I've never been on paid sick. Just worked my arse off in summer when I can and save the cash for winter when i need to hide from the cold. I need to keep moving. Screw sitting and moaning. My medication now costs me maybe 60p a day and keeps me going!

I don't like being on them either. They're rolly little bastards and my balance is already poor. cn

its made me break the law, spend my money..................but, i'm a dope fiend...........what choice do i have? lol

it helps me sleep because i usually cant and it helps pay bills when need be

Out of curiosity who here turned from prescribed meds, to weed, because of a doctor suggesting it or as stated earlier, because they got their paperwork, and who here turned to weed because they "simply knew" it would be the best course?

My doctor got me on some antidepressants can't recall which, first thing he told me was that it would get better before it got worse, i had cut wrists, not really an option, but i then looked at the potential side effects on the box and thought to hell with this i'm some snotty teenager yet i know better than this doctor right now, went with weed instead and while it did not cure my depression, made it completely managable.

At the same time though, i've always held the opinion that any big company in the business of maiing profut, well they have zero intereest in curing you straight off, if at all, anything they sell they are going to want you to be taking for as long a period as possible. As such i've never taken a single course of antibiotics or prescription pills in my life, mr suspicious eh

It makes it easier getting through the day with as little pain as possible, done the prescription med route and now have a fucked up stomach from all the pills I've taken

I didn't start smoking till i was 30 all because i thought it wasn't for me... I was wrong, dead wrong in fact.
After my mom had passed away in 01' i entered a state of depression, but t was unbeknownst to me until i had started smoking.
My wife always told me to smoke with her and that it'll make me feel better, but i thought she was nuts because i didn't notice i was being an asshole to everyone, all the time. I was still doing things i enjoyed, was an amateur body builder, played sports, you name it. But i still had this gloomy cloud above my head. Anyways, long story short its made me look at life in a whole different light. I feel as if im an 18 year old me again (98'). That is honestly the last time i was truly happy with my life and the way it was going.

I am no longer a depressed mess.
I am happy, all the time (mostly, sucks when i run out like now)
Things don't irritate me like they used to.
Have knee problems and when im smoking, or under the influence of mj, i don't think about or feel the pain.
Keeps my migraines at bay.
Makes me look forward to starting the day/next day and so on...
Makes me more romantic towards my wife. (she keeps me high as she can, lol)

It just plain makes me, and everyone else that use it, a better person.
