Specifically I'm interested in those that take it for depression, focus, creativity, sleep, etc. Would you be willing to share your experiences?
I can play things on my guitar when I'm stoned that I am completely unable to play when straight.
RPGing is quite amusing when stoned, as long as I don't become fascinated with the sparkly dice and drift off into a fugue state.
I also find that menial tasks such as cleaning, painting, yardwork, etc., become much more bearable/enjoyable.
Keep it clean, keep it green. GYO
Ibuprofen + Tylenol every 4 hours works OK, but the nausea and withdrawal from Tramadol led me to try cannabis. It works great for keeping me off opiods, since it fills that ‘any narcotic’-need people feel even years later.
It’s better, safer than heroin, which many turn to when their cruel doctors cut them off. The only thing that worries me now is a hospital stay. Can you imagine surgery without painkillers? Ouch, that’s only for the rich!
I have a good friend who was introduced to its use in this context.
The lineage he was exposed to uses the enhanced attention in very specific way. No yoga teacher or class I’ve ever experienced has ever hinted to these techniques which makes me think they are not known outside of this lineage.
With that being said, one can always explore yoga practice in the presence of sativas, with attention toward the body and slowing down everything.
A typical augmented yoga session is 6+ hours.
also recreationally, but not as often as I used to.
In general I've found that semi micro-dosing has helped with non-recreational use. Rather than smoke a joint/bowl worth all at once, I take a couple hits scattered throughout the day. Helps prevent getting the come-down sleepiness and lack of focus that comes with getting toasted early in the day.
Vaping over combustion also seems to help curb stoner side effects (sleepiness, laziness, munchies, paranoia) but YMMV.
Sure there always is a recreational factor. But i also suffer from way less migraines in stress situations, my depression is "smoothed" out as well as it helps my focus and creativity.
When i started smoking it may was all for being baked, but these days its more like a coffee. Its a habbit that helps in several parts of my private and work life. I can easily go without, and regularly do, however i don't see much of a reason to do so as it just helps without any worrysome side effects.
I was taking Tramadol for years for chronic pain. It worked great and allowed me to function. Then a couple years ago, some scientist said it was ‘opioid-like’, and now it’s impossible to get from doctors. The state where I live is clamping down on opioids and tramadol is now tied in with actual opioids. Ibuprofen + Tylenol every 4 hours works OK, but the nausea and withdrawal from Tramadol led me to try cannabis. It…
I'm reminded of this article about not being given pain killers after surgery: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/27/opinion/sunday/surgery-ge...
Ganja is a significant part of many Yoga traditions. I have a good friend who was introduced to its use in this context.

It's quite amazing how much has come to light with THC et al. recently. I vape CBD daily (never smoked, or vaped nicotine). I can't help but feel that the last 100 years has been lost (in the west at least), feels as though it's now being rediscovered.
