I wish Idaho would understand the medical benefits of marijuana. I spent years with severe back pain, got a medical card in WA, and within a year I was at 100%. There is such a negative "stoner" stigma around the stuff though. The ironic part is that I was using strains that didn't even get me high, just a little bit before bed a couple times a week, and the quality of life improvements were amazing. I'm theoretically subject to random drug testing at work, so I need to avoid it now.
IMO - there's a reason we have cannabinoids receptors in us and why thc and cbd attaches to them. I don't use (have a few times in the past) but I can definitely see the benefits from using appropriately as opposed to recreational, ESPECIALLY in your position.
