What is your primary use for cannabis? (feddit.nl)

Basically what it says on the can: why do you use weed? Are you a purely recreational user? Do you use for medical purposes, with or without a prescription? Do you use for a mental health condition? We're all probably some blend of these. What's your use case?

Personally, I do use cannabis medicinally to help me sleep. Neither weed nor melatonin cuts it alone, but weed and quick dissolve melatonin is just the right thing. I also use for recreational purposes. It's just fun to do things stoned. I also use heavily for religious/spiritual reasons. I'm a Discordian, and keeping a flexible mind full of doubt is important to that. Weed is helpful in resisting the siren call of comforting certainty. As a casual psychedelic, it keeps me thinking in interesting ways.

So I use it as a reward for when I'm productive, or as a way to ease anxiety. But not every time, as my family has a long history of addiction on both sides of my family. I know I'm prone to it from my hobbies that can involve loot crates/card packs.

But I try to have a self made and followed rule of "If I'm going to be a stoner, I'm going to be a productive stoner." So did I do my medical appointments? Organize my weeks chores? Then it's a probably.

I just try to not make it a coping mechanism for myself, as if I did it every time I felt shitty or great, I'd be rewarding my bipolar with weed. It's a tool for me as much as it is to make myself feel better.
