I can't quit the morphine but pot does help, it just can't do the job anywhere near enough to use by itself.

I don't care what levels of whatever is in it, besides I don't like being stoned all the time especially during the day, it helps to get me to sleep at night, that's all I use it for.

Whiskey used to help but I quit drinking 20 years ago.

For any quality of life you have to use what works.
