I am not sure about it being a cheaper supply. It was just a way to get
the stuff legally. Personally question its value in treating PTSD. One
of the reasons I stopped smoking pot years ago was that it made me
depressed. It seemed silly to spend money and to risk getting caught to
do something that tended to depress me.

Where did I extol its virtues. I consider it to be relatively harmless.
Pot smokers do not get hangovers. They don't sclerosis of the liver or
bowel cancer from it. Pot smokers are not known for getting into bar
fights and beating their spouses. Alcohol causes more health, mental,
social, family, accidents, work place injuries and criminal problems
than all illegal drugs combined.
