Yes it can help people that are elderly or people in pain wich is good for that it should be used. I used to be a smoker big time but I quit because I needed to get my head straight. Honestly after quitting and being sober for two years I feel so much better, smarter, stronger, wiser and I have my witts about me again. I know we all are coming up in a world where they glamorize smoking weed and drinking alcohol to the youth but they do it on purpose to bring you down. I fell into their traps as well but I got away from it realized whats important in life. Thats making a family and taking care of them not drugs and alcohol. Kids need positive influences in mainstream like me. It should have been me but there are so many secrets kept from you and instead of literally selling my soul I chose Gods path and an afterlife of eternal bliss. Just remember smoking weed and drinking alcohol only will bring you down in the end.
