Wow! I am finishing a Master's in addiction counseling and I've got to say that this article is on point and well written! It isn't judgmental at all and simply states the facts all the while keeping things interesting! Simply well done! I have a professional Facebook page for high school addiction counselor's and I will definitely post this article. Everyone (users and non users) should read this! However, I live in Québec, Canada, and most of my readers are french. Would you be open to translating this article? I could help you with that and more people could get this information! Let me know what you think please!

I usually don't like people translating my articles but if you're sharing it on Facebook and linking back to me I'm fine with it! My French is really bad so I can't do it myself.
Awesome! Thank you! I'll work on the translation tonight! I'm perfectly bilingual, so it will be well done!
Magnifique lecture. Je parle Francais, meme si c'est pas ma langue native. Je vais appuyer sur le button "follow" de suite.
I'm looking forward to it! Drop me a link when you posted it, reading French works half-ok :)
Sure thing!
@suesa when I finish the translated document, how do I link you back to it? I am still new here and unfamiliar with certain things. Do you simply want me to state you are the original author in my post? I just want to be sure I am respecting your wishes...the entire article will be exactly as yours is except translated in french, I will include your english sources...just confirm if this is fine. Thank you.
A link to this post or my profile would be great :)
Alright perfect!
@suesa here is the translation!! (In case you haven't seen it yet ; ) Thanks again!!

And you shared it on Facebook too?
In high school I was repeatedly told to not smoke pot because it was bad for me, I was encouraged to play football because I was good enough to get a scholarship. The amount of brain damage I received playing football from age 15-20 is ridiculous. Luckily I smoked enough back then to help with brain trauma & to help me see the cultural programming & quit that bullsh$t. I’m grateful for weed, also helped me quit chewing tobacco, cigarettes & drinking at a young age. Of all the drugs hi school kids will do, marijuana is the least harmful by far & much healthier than school & state sponsored brain damage that people support every weekend.
Although I am very happy to know you found a way to cope with difficulties and that you are happy. From my experience with students, cannabis use is not for everyone, but I am very aware it has helped many in different ways.
Yes, I wouldn’t recommend everyone use it, but it has been vilified for many years & more people could receive greater benefit from it without all the negative stigma.
Oh yes, I definitely agree!!
I suggest you look at the latest information on addiction coming from the legalized states. The truth is quite contrary to what your education consists of. :(
