As we all hear and see the great medical benefits after all those cannabis seeds grow up to blossum like this:



It begs the question, what has Cannabis helped you with directly? What do you use it for, and how well does it work? Feel free to mention the strain too, just for reference for those that might want to know

Sorry in advance if there is a thread similar to this, but I didn't really see one. Just one's talking specifically about medical benefits and other's about particular conditions.

Helped me stay outa prison or a bell tower, lol, helped me endur schooling, working and basically dealing with herds of low intellect consumer meat sacks selfishly wandering about whining about, well ,themselves ,their troubles.Basically taking up space and air perfectly adept and useful nature could otherwise occupy. But yeah a nice joint and a coffee on a mountain with some plants and none of that shit matters...


I feel better just thinking about marijuana.


That and people just assume I'm really high and not a manic bipolar sociopath, helps...

Ahh, so in your case it's to help with a lot of stress relief and more focus. Seem's like a pretty good use to me, I would think. Haha!

And yeah, they often do that eh? Makes me want to avoid big cities like New York like the plague.

So I guess you could say to those little Cannabis Seeds growing into some awesome bud, eh?

1) CBD oil stopped my seizures and allowed me to completely stop taking prescription sodium valproate.
You could argue that cannabis saved my life there, as you never know which seizure is going to be your last. It's certainly given me back quality of life, and i now no longer fear going to sleep each night.

2) i was an alcoholic for a few years (havent had a drop in ~5 years), and when i quit cold turkey an interesting side effect was that it completely took my appetite with it, i guess my stomach wasn't use to the change either but my brain certainly didn't like it, and i dropped from ~90 to 48kgs in just a few months. Using cannabis and medicinal quantities of pizza and fried chicken I was quickly able to halt the downward spiral and send the scales heading back up into where i am now, which is "normal bodyweight for my height", and my appetite is normalized - i dont need pot and i can even eat breakfast which i never used to.
You could argue that cannabis saved my life a second time there, because it seemed impossible to get my appetite back without it.

But yeah lets use our taxpayer dollars to keep cannabis schedule I while methamphetamine & cocaine are schedule II and ketamine is schedule III and Xanax benzos are schedule IV, because we need to ensure the boards of private prisons and big pharmas and big liquor get ridiculously rich at the health and welfare of the people.

Cannabis saved my life.
It helped me with seizures brought on by extreme bouts of vomiting caused by a morphine dependency. I was hospitalized 27 times in 18 months, lost 100 pounds. I would vomit for 12-14 hrs at a time. A friend convinced me to smoke some Indica. We had an all night session with me puking and him being there having me smoke.
By morning, I felt better than I had in months, even though I lost 6 pounds in that 24 hr stretch.
I started smoking that day on a regular basis, sometimes up to an ounce a week, in order to control what was going on with me. I have only been hospitalized twice since then. both times I ran out of smoke.
I also used it help control withdraw symptons when I cut myself off of the morphine. Without Cannabis, I firmly believe I would have died.
I still use it today, and im off the prescription painkillers completely, even after 9 back surgeries and a total hip replacement .

It helped me with my ADHD and ability to see through temporary situations. I started playing chess and I learned to slow down and think past my initial wanting to just move a man, or act on impulse. it help me focus and assisted my ability to apply intelligence and strategy to my life. Cannabis introduced me to friends that i never knew, and gave me common ground with other individuals with elevated mind-states. Cannabis brought me a wife and kids, and allowed change into my life. Cannabis helped me push bitch ass chumps out of my vision and kept me focused on life's marathon instead of quick reactions that carried stiff penalties. Cannabis kept me out of prison because I learned that I reap what I sow, synthetically or organically. Cannabis pointed me in the right direction of what to eat, because I saw how different nutrients reacted to similar plants when I feed it. Cannabis helped me understand my ka from ba, when I was trying to drive home high as hell on Thai with two daughters waiting on papa to walk through the door and I felt like i was driving on a wall for the last 4 miles. I can keep going for days....

I have fibromyalgia, copd, anxiety attacks, ptsd, was in a wreck in 2006 so now I have a messed up back and arthritis in my back and both hips. I also suffer from depression. I also have skin that is so painful I can't hardly wear regular cloths. I have been on morphine for a number of years, then went to Percocet, oxycotton you name it I've been on it! Also on a number of psych meds. I came off everything, I had had enough! Started smoking in January 2017, don't know the strain it was street. To start with I was smoking 5 times a day. To date I smoke 3 times a day and feel so much better, its unbelievable! My pain, anxiety, muscle spasm everything is better. I can now wear cloths, and I can get in the tub. My pain is better too, but not gone because I don't have access to the correct strain I'm needing. Ill never go back to pharmaceuticals!
