I’m curious of your thoughts of marijuana outside of medical value? I notice many people seem to only focus on the medical benefits and not the recreational benefits. Or the creativity and new spark or insight that marijuana or other psychedelics can provide. To me they all seem to be valuable tools to both the healthy and unhealthy mind. (I’m not assuming that you are against recreational use btw!)

I'm an advocate of recreational use. While I believe THC has potential for habituation, the type of addiction it induces is not at all comparable to addictions to substances like nicotine, alcohol, opioids or even caffeine. The habituation potential it has is on par with other psychological addictions, and is unlike addictions to substances that have strong physical components. I believe that marijuana substitution has potential for those who are addicted to stronger drugs when it comes to getting through withdrawals, controlling cravings and maintaining abstinence.

I can attest to the productivity and creativity benefits marijuana provides, and looking at well-known and successful creatives, many of them attribute some of that productivity and creativity to marijuana consumption.
