4. Sleep Aid – THC may improve sleep quality for those suffering from insomnia or other sleep disorders.

5. Neuroprotection – Some research suggests THC may help protect brain cells and could be beneficial for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.

6. Mood Enhancement & Anxiety Reduction – In moderate doses, THC can promote relaxation and euphoria, which may help with stress and mild anxiety.

Recreational & Lifestyle Benefits

7. Euphoria & Relaxation – THC produces feelings of happiness, creativity, and relaxation, making it a popular choice for recreational use.
