5 Reasons why Cannabis is fucking good for you!

1. Cannabis unlocks your creative potential.

A study found that cannabis causes psychotomimetic symptoms, which could lead users to make connections between ideas that aren't exactly related.

This type of thinking is often crucial to creativity, so grab some ganja, and get those creative juices flowing.

1. Lighting up can lower your risk of diabetes.

A study published in The American Journal of Medicine found that people who smoke marijuana had lower insulin levels and insulin resistance levels by 16 and 17 percent, respectively.

This suggests that cannabis may play a role in regulating blood sugar, which can decrease your risk of developing diabetes.

1. Cannabis keeps you calm, cool and collected.

Researchers interviewed Swiss inmates who regularly smoked marijuana in prison and found that marijuana made the inmates calmer and less stressed. Plus, marijuana use among prisoners also prevented violence and acted as a "social pacifier."

I guess they don't call it a "peace pipe" for nothing.

1. Pot can make your periods suck less.

When it comes to managing premenstrual symptoms, marijuana could be a natural alternative to Midol.

Studies have found that THC is an analgesic and antinociceptive agent that can alleviate the pain of those killer cramps and pounding headache.

Plus, marijuana has also been found to have anti-inflammatory properties that can help with the bloating that occurs around that time of the month.

1. Smoking weed can help you fall asleep.

Everyone knows weed helps you unwind.

While there is considerable debate over the long-term effect marijuana has on sleep cycles, some feel that smoking a bowl before bedtime acts as a better sleep aid than other substances, like alcohol and certain sleeping-inducing medications.

(Unfortunately, though, it's said that marijuana's effectiveness as a sleep aid decreases with increased usage.)
