Open Marijuana Addiction & Recovery
I have been using Marijuana since I was 20 yrs. old(24 yrs. ago). I don't want to stop. I don't drink. This is the only thing I do to help with everything I am going through....Is it helping? I don't know....I have been told it is adding to my depression, but I don't know if that is true..Probably is, I just don't want to face it.
