Like alcohol, when I'm having a tough time it can make things a bit more difficult because I'll choose to get high/drunk rather than face the problem. It has got me through some tough times however and is very good for insomnia. Plus, it's fun! If you want to make up your mind, the only informed decision would come from experiencing it first hand. BUT you should decide for yourself and make sure you're ready because if you're feeling anxious about it then chances are you won't enjoy it. Only you can decide what you want.
