It gets a bad rap. My general well-being has improved significantly on a combination of medical MJ and Modafinil (which I went on in Dec 2024).

I would have preferred Adderall or Ritalin at a low dose in conjunction with MJ for concentration issues. This however is the best approximation I found.

I don’t really like CBD oil as much. I prefer it in capsule form. Far easier to down.

Among other things, this combination has helped me kick alcohol ( a known carcinogen) entirely.

I lost my mom to cancer in 2021 and that was hard. I was fortunate enough to get a medical MJ prescription in 2022 which has helped me avoid alcohol entirely.

I have recently also dialed down my phone and media use a lot. So I feel more optimistic about my health overall.
