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.

I'm glad you found a mode of use that works well for you! If the THC is what makes you uncomfortable, you could try ratio edibles with more CBD/CBG/CBN than THC. They'll all help with the pain relief while helping tone down the effects of the THC. The CBN might make you feel more stoned, but it's a potent sleep aid and muscle relaxer, so it might also calm you enough to counteract THC induced anxiety.
