Like any substance, when consumed irresponsibly, cannabis can negatively impact your body, just like coffee or alcohol. Moderate cannabis use, however, can provide significant benefits—whether you suffer with PTSD, stress or keeping your lifestyle healthy. Depending on how your body reacts to the herb, it could help you maintain your ideal weight or even give you the energy you need to kickstart your day.

Though it gets some bad press, cannabis is healthier than most people think. In fact, it can actually be a part of a healthy diet and lifestyle, meaning it's never been easier to say "yes" to this versatile plant—here's why.

As an ingredient in recipes, a stimulus for getting active and a contributor to a healthy BMI, there's no better plant in the world to assist you in living a healthier life. Except for maybe kale, but we're willing to say it doesn't bring as much joy as cannabis does.
