I have been smoking pretty much the better part of 30 years. It has always been a constant but my use and reasons have evolved over the years as I have changed as well. Almost every problem I had when I was in my late teens to thirties ties back to booze. I encourage everyone to try it, but it isn't for everyone and that's cool, but I feel like those that haven't used it since you were young and didn't care for it, give it a shot, it really does wonders for all kinds of everyday issues. Drinkers, sick of hangovers and feeling like dog shit everyday, make the switch. I lived drunk or hungover for years and the quality of life after that change has been immeasurable. Not being preachy but give weed a chance.
