In my household there are a number of reasons. My better-half has a condition called Ehrlers Danlos Syndrom (EDS), a collogen disorder which results in hypermobility, chronic pain, fatigue and various other effects. For her, cannabis is a practical alternative to drugs such as Co-dyadromol, Amitryptalene and Volterol, all of which (particularly when combined), can have some horrible side effects. She has not eliminated these drugs from her life as a result of Cannabis, but the frequency with which she uses them is massively reduced, and unnofficially approved by our doctor.

For me, I kind of grew up with cannabis as part of my life from an early age. Working in the music business for quite a long time it was inevitable that Cannabis became one of a suite of illegal substances that I used to induce. Although now, Mary Jane is my only love and the one which remains with me. For me its about relaxing, enjoying music and the "reasoning" / social aspect.
