Health:7 Reasons Why Smoking Cannabis is Good For You|Part2+bonus

1. Getting high doesn't give you a hangover.

A night of drinking beers with your BFFs will leave you feeling pretty shitty the next morning. However, unlike drinking, smoking weed doesn't result in a deathly hangover.

So you can get lit with your squad and still feel pretty amazing the next day.

2. Marijuana makes food taste a million times better.

There's nothing better than getting stoned and stuffing your face with an endless array of snacks. But have you ever wondered why marijuana makes food taste so magical?

A study published in Nature Neuroscience found that, thanks to THC's effect on the brain's cannabinoid receptors, food appears more appetizing as a result of a heightened sense of smell.

Therefore, it's probably a good idea to stock up on bagel bites and Dino nuggets before you spark up.

3. Smoking a bowl can boost your energy.

There's a stigma surrounding marijuana use that it makes you lazy. However, not all strains of cannabis turn you into a complete couch potato.

Research has supported a link between the brain's CB-1 and CB-2 cannabinoid receptors and dopamine. Essentially, small doses of marijuana won't hurt your efficiency level, and an increase in dopamine levels gives you the focus you need to get your shit done.

If you're looking for a little pick-me-up, swap out your coffee and smoke a Sativa-dominant strain like Sour Diesel or Jack Herer, instead.

4. 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.)

5.Marijuana can also eliminate nightmares.

Marijuana is also known to disturb the sleep cycle and suppress REM sleep.

Since dreams occurring during this type of sleep, marijuana can be used to interrupt this REM sleep and eliminate your full capacity to dream, thus eliminating your nightmares.

6. Everyone respects someone who can roll a blunt that's lit AF.

Every pothead knows rolling the perfect joint or blunt is basically a form of art.

Learning how to roll an impressive blunt takes a lot of time and practice to master, so people will always respect a stoner who has decent rolling skills.

7. Smoking weed makes you worry less.

An article published in a 2010 Harvard Mental Health Letter also suggested marijuana alleviated symptoms of anxiety when administered in small doses.

The article also mentioned that small doses of THC act as a sedative, decreasing symptoms of anxiety. So the next time you can't stop worrying about something, break out the weed.

Bonus. Ripping the bong can actually be good for your lungs.

A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Associationindicated that marijuana smoke is not detrimental to your lungs.

In fact, past studies found lighting up can briefly increase your lung capacity in the short term... you know, from all that inhaling you're doing.
