There any many different strains of marijuana each with different potencies of the underlying psychoactive chemicals. Smoking a bag of random whatever you bought in high school is not very comparable to walking into a new USA dispensary and buying a prescription of a strain that has been grown to combat specific symptoms you're trying to treat.

Some strains will make you feel dumb, make your head cloudy, and make you forget everything. Some will keep your mind 100% clear but make your body feel like its floating.

I don't think many people realize how useful marijuana is for pain management. I have a chronic illness and I've been able to get off all prescription drugs in place of medicinal marijuana.
