personally, I love weed, I was a major insomniac for most of my life, routinely staying up for 3 days on end in my college years without feeling tired, and couldn't find anything that worked until I discovered weed in my mid 20's. It solved my sleep problems perfectly. I still remember the beautiful feeling that first time when I laid down in my bed after smoking a bowl and my body actually felt ready to nod off into sleep, I hadn't felt that sensation probably since I was 10 years old. But it's not a miracle drug, on balance the plusses and minuses honestly just about cancel out. I benefited from finally getting solid sleep and feeling well-rested during the day, and if I was looking to study one particular topic for a few hours it would help me to focus without getting distracted. But over time you do notice the effects - slightly poorer long term memory, your bones and ligaments become a bit more prone to fractures, your jaw feels a bit weaker, teeth a little stained, and so on... so after smoking almost daily for about 5 years I gave it up because I wanted to get back into marathon running shape again. I'll probably go back to smoking eventually but it's good to take some time off now and then and let the body heal in those small ways.
but yeah for some things it is way healthier as a treatment than any drug. natural cures are always the best. I've really turned my back on modern medicine completely after having a few bad experiences.
I hear you, smoking is great for getting outside of your own perspective a bit and considering new angles. I'm fortunate that I never really experience headaches.
