I don’t smoke much anymore, but when I do its to try out what I’ve grown. Also sometimes when I’ve had a few to many beers Ill spark one up. lol

Like @Nagel420 (above), I tend to hyper analyze problems and I found at an early age that Canna lets me see things from a completely different perspective. Like looking at a puzzle on the table and suddenly seeing where the next dozen pieces fit! That’s been extraordinarily useful at critical junctures in my life.
Oddly enough, another aspect I find useful is when I need to do a heavy load of mindless physical work. I’ll puff a bud before embarking on hours of work pruning in the orchard and the time flies.
And, let’s be honest, I just totally dig the whole process of growing and whadagonna do with all that nice bud?

Me (60) 1993 - it was transport & possession. 5 lbs Fat Leaf Skunk, 3 OZ bad white stuff now a drink, and 3 hand guns. 3 Guys and none of the guns were mine. I have been an entrepreneur my entire life, held a job for 18 mos once in my life time though, a real accomplishment. (Said Machine). Are you in Michigan as well I wonder? @osogreen

Oh me, I’m not that special except that I don’t really get that high. I get kinda dull, but not so silly. Slows things down. I have anxiety, ADHD, and a personality disorder. I don’t just over think, I am in another world in my head if I’m not careful. The cannabis generally helps bring those soaring, blistering fast thoughts down to a speed I can pluck them out of the air and deal with them a little more reasonably.
It also helps me relax around my friends and family; social anxiety makes me obsessively over think little things like why did they say this instead of that. Not having 8 million thoughts a second reduces that chance. But… it also makes me more paranoid be noticed and I need more reassurance sometimes around strangers. I get a bit more agoraphobic.
Then, on occasion, I’ll up my dose by maybe 3-5 times the amount and get a “recreational” dose and that’s when music comes alive a bit more. If it’s the end of the day, I’ll pass out like a baby unless I’m upset. Mood enhancer mostly. Still no real fun stuff, but less grievous side effects than drinking.
I use up 2 grams of rosin a week just to stay sane; it’s nice to tell people I’m not just high off my gourd talking to the stars.

For me its 2 fold. I am a week away from my 50th birthday and broke my back in my early 20s. Pain is an issue as is sleep. I smoke to help both those issues. Secondly is my state of mind. I have always had a bit of a temper issue and smomig helps me take the edge off and put things in to perspective.

Clearly its working, because I would have NEVER figured you to have a temper issue, considering you are always one calming situations down and making people see the other side of things instead of throwing gas on the fire.

It helps me deal with crohn’s and the knee I injured playing soccer in HS, the doctor that did my surgery said I’ll need a knee replacement by 35.
But also just to relax or have fun

Thanks bud, it can be a struggle but I consciously try to keep things in perspective. Take one situation at a time is all any of us can do
