I’m proud of our friend John who quit drinking four years ago. She fell into alcoholism when all of us were in high school because her home life was rough and it was a single of the only forms of escape that she had at her disposal. The first time I tried alcohol was with John at a celebration during our senior year in high school and I guess I threw up at the end of the night. I barely made it back to our house without falling over on the front lawn. Luckily our parents were asleep and I got to our room without making a ton of noise. I drank on and off over the years after this point however I always had slightly disadvantage experiences. John on the other hand suddenly turned into an addict. She was drinking every single night and it was having a serious effect on her performance in school. Instead of drinking, I am a cannabis user. But care about John, I was addicted to something that is unhealthy, which is smoking. Physicians believe that it’s much more healthy to consume THC and CBD orally or transdermally compared to smoking it through combustion of the plant material. Burning plant matter of marijuana flower buds releases carcinogens into your lungs. I use cannabis edibles now as a way to use marijuana while avoiding the disadvantage side effects of smoking the plant. Vaporizing is much better than smoking, however I have tried to avoid any inhalation products, even if it’s vaporization. Cannabis edibles are easier to dose as well, as you can measure the exact amount of cannabinoids in each serving.
