Pot effects people individually...so not everybody would benefit from pot the way you did. Personally, for the longest time when I used pot it made me study harder...I'd really get into it and eventually it helped me for exams. But recently pot has made me feel paranoid and guilty...it's lost it's beneficial ways for me. I've stopped smoking it almost completely now.

My father has severe scoliosis and I remember as a child my father would smoke pot for both the pain and his depression. It seemed to help him immensely. There are productive medicinal uses marijuana could help with....pot isn't a moral issue like some people believe. That's my opinion.
