I just came about my answer to a question my stepmom asked me when we were debating cannabis and it's leading to other drugs about two years ago. She pointed out that her brothers all smoked pot since they were teenagers, and then they went onto harder stuff because they weren't getting the same high they got when they started smoking. I didn't have an answer then, stumped by how I can get around the fact that after smoking cannabis for a while, there are diminishing returns.

I won't get the same high I did when I was 16 now that I have been using cannabis for 3 years, I know that, and I don't mind that. Average people just smoke cannabis to get high, but after learning about it's everyday uses, raising it, caring for it, and sharing it with new people, I don't see it as a drug associated with the harder ones.

I see cannabis as my "glass of red wine" I have every day to keep me healthy. This glass of red wine doesn't make me dysfunctional, it helps me not feel drained from my sleep disorders. This glass of red wine helps me sleep 3-4 solid hours so I can function. It keeps me calm in a lighter, happier mood so I can focus in school. That is how it helps me everyday, everyone has uses for cannabis.

I'm going to try to explain this to my stepmom to try to get her to understand how I use cannabis and how the world could use cannabis for the good.
