How Has Cannabis Helped You?

Helped me cope with depression and social anxiety by taking my mind off it.
 
Hmm, well let's see.... It helps me sleep at night. It balances out the mood swings. It helps me think more clearly. It definitely facilitates introspection. It gives me sex drive a healthy boost. It makes dealing with difficult situations and emotions easier.... Oh, and it makes everything that's already great even better.

It actually feels pretty psychedelic to me too, and that's definitely one of the reasons I love it.... Generally the drugs I like are the ones that not only provide a clean recreational high but also act as some sort of physical or psychological medicine for me. The only thing I like better than weed for this is LSD.

mostly because of the lols involved

everything is funnier on weed, and I laugh at a lot of stuff sober so do the math lol
 
Biggest thing it helped me with was seeing that a lot of people write off a lot of things for no reason, and not letting that stop you try them is key to finding out who you are. Then again, it also made me resent a lot of classmates, colleagues before I stopped to think about where they were coming from. So I guess another thing I learned was the confidence to break through that barrier of misunderstanding=fear=anger to get to the people that are willing to listen.
 
I used to enjoy it recreationally because it went so well with music and writing, but it did help my depression and fear. And during one particularly bad reaction to a prescription that put me in the ER, it was the only thing that got me on my feet and eating the next day.

Now, cannabis helps me greatly in my day-to-day life because I have developed severe fibromyalgia over the past two years. Cannabis is a better frontline option for this kind of pain than opiates, and very helpful at fending off the lower tier of pain (on a 1-10 ascending scale, we'll call it 5 or below). In the 6-10 range, nothing other than an strong opiate will knock that away. Forget Vicodin, that shit don't work for me; this is Percocet we're talking about, so I will not take them unless I have to. Cannabis is my best shot at making it through a day without those damn things, and my best shot at avoiding physical addiction (not too worried about psychological addiction because I hate them). And cannabis is darn near the only thing that can get me eating. I've lost over 30 pounds this year from shit appetite even with the cannabis; without it and I'd be dangerously underweight. Cannabis has also helped to keep the weight loss gradual instead of sudden.

When my state goes medicinal (hopefully next year) I will benefit even more because I will be able to easily find strains that work for my combination of symptoms, even different strains for different times of day.
 
Cannabis helps me in so many ways. It helps my positive outlook as well as an excellent way to unwind and relax after a long day. Also herb can help spark creativity and productivity while I'm at work.
 
It helps me stay calm and relaxed, it flattens any hostility I may feel towards others, and it makes me curious of everything
 
So, what I'm gathering at all these great replies is that there are few negative reactions and mostly positive. I am most pleased with our ode to cannabis.
I use to have anger management issues. Now, when I feel it coming on, if I can grab a p.r (pre rolled) and take a safety meeting (on my couch), within a toke, I am calm and what made me angry seems silly and redundant.
Cannabis not only decreases pain symptoms but it soothes the soul and lets us know, hey, it's alright.

keep em coming and oh yes, it's almost 4:20 somewhere. Healing all round!

Hilarious =D

Mostly positive experiences with me. Allows me to relax more effectively and in all the right ways that alcohol cannot.

Used to have borderline dependency issues with it though, relying on it too much to cope with things. But now that I have found a responsible way of moderation, it's back up to positives again with me. :)
 
How has weed helped me? Well I am 15 and I smoke weed for lots of reasons. It relaxes me, helps calm my anxiety, seems to cease all of my depression, and most of all, weed just lets me forget life. It gets rid of all the bullshit, drama, and problems in life. It's great. It makes everything so much better such as music, art, video games, etc. I'm actually an upcoming rapper and Me and My friend Z toke up to help us get some sick ass lines going. I also have a sort of eating disorder and weed just helps me munch the fuck out on everything. I can literally eat forever.. until the food's all gone! Once I ate 3lbs of Cocoa-Puffs, 1lb of mozzarella cheese, and 16 liters of Mtn Dew Code Red. Music is fucking incredible on weed. Weed has opened up my mind so much more on science, religion, philosophy, etc. It's just fucking incredible.
 
Helped me quit heroin . I mean cone on let's get real what hasn't weed done for me.
Weed makes me hungry ,happy and all I can say.
 
Dear Every One,

Seems there's a new thread out there claiming Cannabis, our great Weed, has been linked to heart issues? Well, let's take that with a grain of salt shall we; and may I add, as someone else pointed out, too much of anything in the body can have adverse effects as well so,,, let's ALL be responsible folks and as I replied in that other thread,

'M O D E R A T I O N.' and if you can, get a vaporizer. or ingest if you can make yummy green butter.

Too much of anything is, well, too much.

By far, in my opinion, CANNABIS is one of the best medicines of this Green n Blue tiny globe we all call HOME...
 
Weed helped me cuz if it wasnt for weed when i broke up with my ex i prolly woulda killed myself it helped me alot with my depression i was so sad i couldnt eat it helped me eat and also sleep n i still use it to this day to help me eat sleep n not be so depressed
 
helps with my appetite and occasional stomach discomfort, it relaxes me, helps me sleep, and music sounds amazing
 
I started smoking it when I was recovering from an eating disorder, and it helped me a lot on those "down" days where my self-esteem was extremely low and I didn't want to socialize or eat. It also was the only thing that would be put me to sleep before I got prescribed Atarax.
And it kind of played a role in teaching my young self a valuable life lesson: I am not invincible, and not everyone is going to put up with my bullshit. Which is an important thing to realize, and I feel like it would have taken me a bit longer to learn that lesson if I didn't start smoking weed.
 
Ya, she be like a miracle plant, putting things into a perspective tailored for each of our individual roads, she brings us back to ourselves and lets us know, hey, everything is alright.
yeah, agreed.
Thank you for sharing everyone.
If only we could give the whole World a big bong hit or cookies made of green butter. Well hey, we're working on it.
