And it gives you some pleasure, That has to have a soothing effect , chills you out, is that not good for you ?

Growing weed definitely has a relaxing effect on the brain.

.................... build a hugel bed.
Simply mound logs, branches, leaves, grass clippings, straw, cardboard, petroleum-free newspaper, or whatever other biomass you have available, top with manure and compost and plant your veggies.
The compost I usually use to cover them is five-year-old leaf mulch
The advantages of a hugel bed are many, including:
The gradual decay of wood is a consistent source of long-term nutrients for the plants. A large bed might give out a constant supply of nutrients for 20 years (or even longer if you use only hardwoods).
The composting wood also generates heat which should extend the growing season.
Soil aeration increases as those branches and logs break down... meaning the bed will be no till, long term.
You will use less water watering . I The logs and branches act like a sponge. Rainwater is stored and then released during drier times. Actually you may never need to water your hugel bed for a long time after the first year (except during long term droughts). This, of course would depend on your annual rainfall.
Sequester carbon into the soil. ....................
