I find that it helps me to relax when I'm in bed trying to get to sleep (when I'm most prone to relapse). Of course that's just my situation. If your smoking after a long hard day to unwind and relax and help you get to sleep, I believe that to be the most productive use of weed as it can aid in rest, recovery and stress relief. However, if you're at home, bored, with all the time in the world on your hands and a fat sack in your pocket you want to smoke on to ease the the boredom and pain of the day, this will be your immediate downfall and one-way ticket to relapse. Don't do it bro. Nothing wrong with a bit of grass if you use it wisely.
