Recovering From Cannabis Addiction - Josie M.

I’m Josie M., I’m 22, and I’ve been clean from marijuana and other substances for 3 years. Marijuana was my drug of choice and led me down a path of self-destruction behaviors. It heavily affected my mental health, causing acutely heightened anxiety and paranoia. Through working a 12-step program, I have found healing, love, and the truth about how mind-changing chemicals really affect me. Join me while I share my recovery story from marijuana with the Every Brain Matters community on June 3rd.
Join us on the first Friday of every month for messages of hope and healing from the impacts of marijuana. Every month, we welcome a different speaker who will share their experience and provide pathways to find serenity as we navigate through today’s pro-marijuana/drug culture. Whether you’re grieving the loss of a loved one or trying to recover yourself, this meeting is for you. You will be a Q & A at the end of each meeting. This meeting is appropriate for all family members ages 16 and up.
Every Brain Matters Recovery Community is built on a foundation of love, willingness, and HONESTY. We seek to create a culture of healing.
The expansion of marijuana is negatively affecting people in many ways: addiction, psychosis, suicide, homicide, DUIs, Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome, and other incidents of injury or trauma resulting in harm or death, overdoses, and where marijuana was a gateway, companion, and/or relapse drug.
This meeting may be recorded with the presenters’ and the participants’ permission.

Any pot is too much pot. It destroyed my life for three decades. I am going to be in a fitness competition at age 52 and never felt even half as good before! The stuff these days is also especially strong and debilitating!! Keep spreading the word to young people! I finally regained my clarity, but I’m worried about the youth damaging, permanently, their still - forming brains!!!!

[@rebecamcdowell1922]

Get all the way TF out of here. If you don't like it, don't smoke it. But let's not sit here and preach against marijuana. 😂

Don’t get on an obvious anti- weed platform and listen to it if you support the lifestyle, then criticize those who have made positive changes
