They say that self-medicating is never a good idea, but the one exception to the rule could well be cannabis. There are so many incredible strains out there right now that can work wonders for insomnia, stress, anxiety and so on and have absolutely no detrimental side-effects whatsoever. Of course, it’s always beneficial to speak to a doctor before taking things into your own hands, but weed can be supremely effective in treating so many conditions. By contrast, alcohol has absolutely no medical properties whatsoever…period.
