I was talking with a friend the other day about how stressful our society is under the Trump regime.
In conversations with relatives and friends the subject is often how do we deal with all the shit coming out of the White House?
Keeping one's sanity and fighting off depression has become a common challenge in this country. Daily attacks against our democracy are wearing people down. Hope of salvation from the madness in the nation has become a dream some worry will never happen.
How we deal with this black cloud that has settled over the country is important. Mass protests. Legislation. Elections. And how we personally fight off the blues could fill a library with options.
Today I'm writing about how marijuana can help alleviate your worries when they seem insurmountable. Make no mistake. I'm not suggesting smoking weed will turn your life around.
Look at it as a temporary fix that helps your attitude and also your health with numerous studies showing relief from Cancer treatments to relaxing tight muscles.
If you've tried Wacky Tobacky (as my dad, use to call it when he saw me smoking pot) then it's a matter if you like it or not. Not everyone thinks weed can be helpful.

Quick Facts:
- Recent polls from 2023-2024 show that approximately 15% to 17% of Americans are currently smoking marijuana, representing tens of millions of people.
- About half of all Americans report having tried marijuana at some point in their lives.
- A 2022 report estimated 17.7 million people use marijuana daily or near-daily, surpassing the number of alcohol drinkers for the first time on record.
- While smoking is the most prevalent form of cannabis consumption (80% of users), eating and vaping are also common.

To be sure, weed has always been a controversial subject but it's acceptance now has reached an all-time high (pun intended).
I prefer marijuana over alcohol which was never a good alternative for me because I got rowdy and did stupid things. I also know I'm not going to get liver cancer by puffing on my favorite strain.
When you think about the side effects of a good pot high it's worth it. You relax. You laugh. You're not agressive. It helps with muscle pain and stomach disorders. All positive effects that will help you cope with the daily chaos of Trump tearing down the country (literally) and violating the Constitution.
As it Stands, Wacky Tobacky is just another alternative to coping with the world we live in today.
