May I ask what you mean by "useful"?
My own feeling - as a user of various illegal drugs - is that fun itself is enough use alone, but I don't know if that's quite what folk are meaning here.
Given the current state of mental health support, at least in the US, I consider them a useful tool for some people to self-medicate. Fun is also a nice perk :)
Yeah, that's definitely true. And also, of course, cannabis is a marvelous painkiller.
