Positive health effects experienced by some who smoke Marijuana.

This is not a thread extolling ingesting marijuana as a cool thing to do, the answer to all one's ills, etc. I am interested in exploring poster's positive health benefits, if applicable, from ingesting moderate amounts of recreational marijuana. This applies not only to personal use, but to their observations regarding their friends,

family members etc who also imbibe. These benefits can either be physical or mental/emotional, or any combination which may seem relevant to you. As a psychologist closely involved in human behaviour, I have

my own stories, but this thread is about your experiences. If asked I will relay my beliefs, but I am here
primarily to learn. So whether you smoke a joint, a ceramic pot pipe, water pipe, or eat special brownies, or know those who do, the floor is yours. Merci beaucoup.

I have found pot a very positive thing for me. I suffer from depression and smoking pot has helped to change my thinking and helped me to see things differently. It has made me laugh at life instead of taking it so very seriously. I mean there are times when we need to take things seriously but not all the time to the extent that it makes you miserable; that is what was happening to me. Marijuana opened my mind and made me think a lot about things I had never thought about before. It expanded my mind to be open to so many possibilities and thus helping me pull out of negativeness and depression. Geez I wish I had some now....:love_heart:
