https://medicinalcannabis101.com/willie-nelson-medicinal-cannabisDespite my thoughts, about some of the cognitive issues associated with marijuana I also want to include some of its benefits from pain, which I felt much relief when years ago having neuropathy associated with cancer that was very painful. Smoking cannabis intermittently for about a week, on and off helped relieve the pain immensely.
In some ways marijuana can be seen as similar to the affects of meditation, because it gives a similar perspective of seeing the body and mind from a viewing position. I recommend meditation as having this interesting perspective. Although I remember as a teenager experimenting with marijuana it encouraged me to work on gaining a similar perspective through meditation.
