Light of the sun: This is especially interesting to me as I live in an area that gets disproportionately less sunlight than most places including where I grew up. This has health implications.

So I have a kind of "inverse" challenge and different means of working it in contrast to yours. I reach for something I have less direct access to. Means placing awareness above the cloud cover to - I guess you could say "negotiate exposure" and allow that be contained "above" in order to distribute "below".
Fact remains,..I need more direct sunlight but this has noticeable short term benefit. The focus prompts more resourcefulness beside.

On cannabis- yea, I experience the same but it's good to have on hand for a "right time". When there are many mind and body challenges, pain, imbalance, tension or depression- the help I sought from MJ (which did not always turn out well) was found in kratom.
