For me, Cannabis does a lot of different things, and I do mean a lot. It really depends on the dose and strain. For a long time I used to get really baked, but for me that was too much, getting super stoned all the time. Weed makes me more creative, but when I was doing it so much it began to do the opposite, making me feel just kinda of spaced out all the time. It was then that I realized that for me just getting a hit or two is the absolute best, and knowing when and when not to be high. With a mild dose I feel stimulated, productive and more comfortable socially. I feel that my life is pretty much fine without weed, but the right amount at the right time does wonders for anything from relieving most any pain to giving me a nice lift when I have a lot of things to do. Occasionally I do like to get flat out stoned tho, if i need to wind down at the end of the day. Sleep is wonderful in that state. It really is a remarkable plant.
