The combination of a disciplined lifestyle (working out 5 days a week, practicing autophagy, proper nutrition in addition to marijuana use has changed my life drastically.  Marijuana has also been instrumental to help my sleep deprivation (in combo with magnesium and potassium). I am a late boomer due to my previous career/jobs and I am still learning about the different terpenes. However, I feel the combo noted above has drastically improved many areas of my health including inflammations, depression, energy, weight control, joint pains, headaches, anxiety amongst other issues.  

If you are in a legal state in which allows the use of both recreational and medical marijuana,  you should look into it a bit deeper.  People are still considering marijuana a bad thing and you can hear them paraphrasing anecdotes with prejudice. It is a taboo that a lot of uneducated and ignorant people continue to treat it as a "bad thing".  The same people who are poisoning themselves and their kids with fructose, junk and salty foods. Forget these people and start conducting your own research on the topic. 

If you are legal to try it, I highly recommend to anyone that feels body aches and mental distress.

Cannabis contains CBD which is a chemical that impacts the brain, making it function better without giving it a high along with THC which has pain relieving properties. Both substances can be extracted and enhanced for use through short path distillation. Users can get the following health benefits of cannabis:

Relief of chronic pain

There are hundreds of chemical compounds in cannabis, many of which are cannabinoids. Cannabinoids have been linked to providing relief of chronic pain due to their chemical makeup. Which is why cannabis’ by-product such as medical cannabis is commonly used for chronic pain relief.

Improves lung capacity

Unlike smoking cigarettes, when smoking cannabis in the form of cannabis your lungs aren’t harmed. In fact, a study found that cannabis actually helps increase the capacity of the lungs rather than cause any harm to it.

Help lose weight

If you look around, you will notice that the avid cannabis user is usually not overweight. That is because cannabis is linked to aiding your body in regulating insulin while managing caloric intake efficiently.

Regulate and prevent diabetes

With its impact on insulin, it only makes sense that cannabis can help regulate and prevent diabetes. Research conducted by the American Alliance for Medical Cannabis (AAMC) has linked cannabis to stabilise blood sugars, lower blood pressure, and improve blood circulation.

Fight cancer

One of the biggest medical benefits of cannabis is its link to fighting cancer. There is a good amount of evidence that shows cannabinoids can help fight cancer or at least certain types of it.

Helps treat depression

Depression is fairly widespread without most people even knowing they have it. The endocannabinoid compounds in cannabis can help in stabilising moods which can ease depression.

Shows promise in autism treatment

Cannabis is known to calm users down and control their mood. It can help children with autism that experience frequent violent mood swings control it.

Regulate seizures

Research conducted on CBD has shown that it can help control seizures. There are ongoing studies to determine the effect cannabis has on individuals with epilepsy.

Mend bones

Cannabidiol has been linked to helping heal broken bones, quickening the process. According to Bone Research Laboratory in Tel Aviv, it also helps strengthen the bone in the process of healing. This makes it tougher for the bone to break in the future.

Helps with ADHD/ADD

Individuals with ADHD and ADD have trouble focusing on tasks at hand. They tend to have problems with cognitive performance and concentration. Cannabis has shown promise in promoting focus and helping individuals with ADHD/ADD. It is also considered a safer alternative to Adderall and Ritalin.

Treatment for glaucoma

Glaucoma leads to additional pressure on the eyeball which is painful for individuals with the disorder. Cannabis can help reduce the pressure applied on the eyeball providing some temporary relief to individuals with glaucoma.

Alleviate anxiety

While Cannabis is commonly known to cause anxiety, there is a way around that. Taken in monitored dosage and in the proper way, cannabis can help alleviate anxiety and calm users down.

Slow development of Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s disease is one of many that is caused by cognitive degeneration. As we age, cognitive degeneration is almost unavoidable. Cannabis’s endocannabinoid contains anti-inflammatories that fight the brain inflammation that leads to Alzheimer’s disease.

Deal with pain linked to arthritis

Cannabis is now commonly found as creams and balms which are used by individuals that have arthritis. Both THC and CBD help sufferers deal with the pain.

Helps with PTSD symptoms

PTSD doesn’t just affect veterans but any individual that goes through a trauma. As cannabis is legalised the impact it has on helping treat individuals with PTSD is being studied. Cannabis helps control the fight or flight response, preventing it from going into overdrive.

Helps provide relief to individuals with multiple sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis can be painful, and cannabis is known to provide relief for it. Multiple sclerosis leads to painful muscle contractions and cannabis can help reduce that pain.

Reduces side effects linked to hepatitis C and increase the effectiveness of treatment

The treatment for hepatitis C has numerous side effects that include nausea, fatigue, depression, and muscle aches. These can last for months for some hepatitis C sufferers. Cannabis can help reduce the side effects caused by the treatment while making it more effective at the same time.

Treats inflammatory bowel diseases

Individuals with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis can find some relief with the use of cannabis. THC and cannabidiol are known to help enhance immune response while also interact with cells that play a vital role in the functioning of the gut. Cannabis helps block off bacteria and other compounds that cause inflammation in the intestines.

Helps with tremors associated with Parkinson’s disease

For those that have Parkinson’s disease cannabis can help reduce tremors and pain while also helping promote sleep. It has also shown to improve motor skills in patients.

Helps with alcoholism

Another one of the many health benefits of cannabis is that there is no doubt cannabis is much safer than alcohol. While it may not be 100% risk-free, it can be a smarter way to curb alcoholism by substituting it with cannabis.

moderation people 

I've been working on several psych wards over the past two years or so.  I'm astonished at the people who continue to smoke it despite knowing it's going to cause a reaction that will get them put on a ward for months at a time.

Absolutely! I’ve mentioned this before in another thread. My regular doc (I’m 44 now) a couple years ago went off record with me. He noted that I was on blood pressure meds, anti anxiety, and regular pain meds for a spinal fusion in my neck. He told me while he was unable to prescribe cannabis, he would gladly work with me monitoring my health if I wanted to consider using cannabis medically. This meant going from a weekend/occasional user to basically a daily regimen. He preferred i use edibles but smoking it would be fine as well. This was about 2.5 years ago now. Since then over time I’ll no longer on BP meds and maintains healthy 110/65, I haven’t taken any form or anxiety meds (used to pop Xanax/Clonopan regularly), and I haven’t even taken an Advil in well over a year. I’ve also lost 35 pounds while making almost no effort to do so. Cannabis has been an absolute godsend to me. The only negative side effect I’ve experienced is some short term memory lapses.

Oh, does it now, lmao... Hypothetically, it would seem that close to 30 years daily use isn't enough to hit that threshold. Again hypothetically. Then again the medical industry prescribes experimental drugs to children, and told us reducing healthy fats was a good thing. Anyone want some FDA approved olestra chips? Maybe those psychotic people were defective to begin with.
