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.

If I'm high, I don't suffer anxiety attacks like I do when I'm totally sober and just going out in public.

I also like the way it makes my body feel in general. Really good shit makes me feel like I'm walking around in a dream. No weight, no aches, no pain, slightly numb but not so numb I can't feel anything. It's cool.
