I use it as an add-on to my meds. You know, on those days where I get mildly symptomatic. Since meds don't provide immediate relief I got an MMJ rec and I'm glad I did. I used to use it to help me sleep, but pdoc recently gave me trazodone for that. But I still use it for things like agitation, depressive slips, etc. I find it really helps, and let's face it, it's fun! I prefer edibles because my lungs aren't what they used to be (you'd think I could handle smoking it, I smoke cigarettes every day, but cigs and weed are two different animals).
