Cannabis isn’t as disturbing as I thought it would be
I used to enjoy when my college would host the drug prevention week, and that meant I didn’t have to go to any normal classes.
The day would start in the school assembly room and the whole college would hang out and watch videos.
I liked starting my day in the dark auditorium watching these videos or just relaxing! Occasionally speakers would come in to tell us about how bad drugs were, again and again, but any change of the normal routine was welcome. I would have less homework those weeks and stress from the instructors. I could rest with my friends in the assembly and just relax. One thing though, was that the drug prevention week made myself and others unreasonably scared about particular stuff. I remember there was a whole device about how bad marijuana was. There were tons of short videos talking about how all these addicts started with weed and went to harder drugs from there on out. The addicts always were massively underweight, missing teeth and a total mess. I figured that if I smoke weed, that was going to be my life! Now I have acquired info that cannabis undoubtedly had a absolutely bad reputation for a while. There are now so many people taking marijuana for medical purposes. Cannabis can be used to treat chronic pains, depression and anxiety, but people who suffer from cancer, PTSD and seizures have also found a bit of relief with both the CBD and THC element in the cannabis plant. There is a whole list of things on Google that cannabis can treat. It took myself and others years to understand that marijuana isn’t that disturbing at all, it is just a plant.
