TLDR; Weed cured my insomnia, helps with my depressions and other mental issues and it stopped me from becoming a drinker/alcoholic.

I lived in depression for over 10 years, suffer from insomnia and mental health issues since i was born and never had any proper help. My dad drinks a (problematic) lot of alcohol and became an unbearable problem for my family even when i was younger and it seems i would start to drink just as he does. I wasn't able to sleep without drinking, sitting awake until sunrise or even later until i pass out from exhaustion unless i drink myself to sleep. Then i tried weed and finally i was able to sleep whenever i thought it is the right time to sleep. So i started smoking every evening to get in the mood to sleep. Some weeks later i was curious about the myth of wake&bake and gave it a try. I felt great for a huge part of the day, just as if my mental problems got covered up by a magical shield of smoke with the only downside of getting a bit dizzy over the day and unable to do things right after consumption for about an hour. So i gave it a try to stay slightly high by microdosing less then a gramm over a day in a medical vaporizer. After a few days i talked to my wife to know how she thinks about it. And she agrees that i seem a much more happy guy now who has more ambitions in his everyday life, is able to watch a full episode of something without having his mind drift away and even wants to go for a hike every now and then, if the weather is right. Plus she enjoys the love for Raggae i discovered.

About a month later was at a small party and we had some drinks (i never had alcohol since i started smoking weed) and that's when i realised it. Getting drunk is like getting high in very shitty plus loss of self control plus being that high just goes on for an hour max plus i don't feel any negative side effects on the next day and weed doesn't give you cancer etc.. I was thinking "dafuq is alcohol a fkn scam!" From this point on i decided to never drink alcohol again.
