Keep in mind the growing number of strains of cannabis which are 'functional' strains, in their own right. I've spent 30+ years functioning 'high' (atuism and pain) and can now get th;e same relief, without any high or stone or inebriation.
It's as if I've been cruising the freeways at 80mph for 30+ years, and suddenly I have a windshield. :) No more squinting and bugs and other hassles of traveling at speed in the wind. lol
