Month: August 2022

2 YEARS ANNIVERSARY!

About two years ago, towards the end of August 2020, I quit marijuana for good. I don’t actually remember the date but I do know it was the last days of August. Seeing it’s been two years since then, I wanted to do something special. I sat down and asked myself if I had to quit weed again if I had to do it all over again, what would I do? I then wrote a short guide with the pivotal points of my experience that set me on the path to success. The following guide is about 5 years of my experience summed up in 6 pages. I really hope it helps you in some way, if you know anyone else that could benefit from it, please share it. To download my guide click the button below!

Podcast E58: Give my child a voice – Cindy Simpson

Hello, internet, it’s Monday and I have got another episode for you.

I recorded this episode back in April when I sat down with Cindy Simpson to talk to her about her experience in an addiction environment and her workshop; Give my child a voice.

I’m so happy Cindy agreed to do a podcast with me, this truly was an eye-opening episode. One of the biggest questions I always have doing MY LAST JOINT project is why. What gets us to manifest certain behaviour, why do some people end up having problems with marijuana while others can use it normally?

This episode is highly recommended for anyone battling or working in an addiction setting. Whereas this might not necessarily apply to you, it’s definitely knowledge worth having and passing on!
