This is a more of a logical exercise then anything else, but even though, most of it is based on scientific accounts from well respected scientists and scientific work. There are some cultures, especially with strong family support that can be extremely effective in preventing trauma from settin...

Hi, I just had a thought about my cannabis usage over the past 5 years (with a 1 year break) that I began in my journal. I wanted to share it with you Cannabis can relieve anxiety in the moment, but if it breaks through, it will be more present. It will be more uncomfortable, and at times nearly... -
