Feel free to go ahead and roll it if that helps. After losing a lot of weight my doc put me on marinol (it's a pot pill), it's just like taking a bong hit... It does help relieve stress. I don't smoke but I have one friend who smokes and didn't stress about any of the numbers... I look at the numbers a lot... If you find something that works, go for it.
