voted for enjoyment/feelgood, but it does help with aching body after a rough day at work. also helps me fall to sleep. Also a big stress reliver at the end of the day.

so basically rather than pop a few advil/tylenol i puff on a bowl. and it makes me smile:leaf:

I said Physical dysfunction...but it's really a mix of physical and mental. I have juvenile rheumatoid arthritis , scoliosis, neck tensions, migraines and to top it all, Hidradenitis Suppurativa, an auto-immune skin condition that is extremely painful.
All this pain leads to insomnia (I wish I had a Tempur-pedic :-P ) and everyone here knows what works best for sleep ;)
So it's mostly physical, but with the use of cannabis, it enables me to push through most any pain without too much grimacing :weed: hehe
I've had a positive outlook on life since I've stopped anti-depressants. They're the devil if you ask me. Cannabis keeps me happy, anxiety-free and let's me enjoy life and not take everything too seriously.

I medicate for severe ADHD (it slows my brain down well enough to align my thoughts), Aspberger's Syndrome (which has gotten a lot better since I was younger), insomnia, for schizo-effective disorder, and chronic back pain. I tell ya, if I hadn't been introduced to cannabis at such a young age, life would have been very miserable for me. I was diagnosed with Aspberger's Syndrome and severe ADHD when I was 3. I used to not like anyone and it was hard for me to socialize. I was on Ritalin as a child up til I was a young teen. When I was 11, my only friend celebrated my birthday with a joint, and I never looked back. I started doing better in school, my grades improved, I started to make new friends, and I was able to sleep at night. When I was 13 I quit taking the Ritalin and things got even better.

not sure what category it falls under but i use it for chronic daily migraines. this is the only thing that makes me feel normal and takes my pain away that isn't narcotics.

Glad it helps you man.

I must say, these are interesting results and while physical pain is right where I expected it to be, nothing else is.

I expected much more in social dysfunction. You know, like anger management and anti-social personality disorders.

Pain/Insomnia here. Oxy's, morphine, naproxen, cymbalta and elavil. Not to mention prescription sleep aids all replaced by one naturally occurring blessing.

You need some yoga & palates, life is short; smoke herbs and enjoy every moment, it comes to an end very quickly.
