Hi there. I am a constant dagga user, I do not find myself an ‘addict’. Yes I smoke weed, no I’m not a bad person.

I am 17 years old. I’m a recovered drug addict. I have intense back pains and chronic depression. While being a drug addict I never touched weed. With my chronic depression I’ve gone through many suicide attempts. I then tried weed and suddenly my back pain was gone. I had no desire to commit suicide or self inflicted plain. I find myself being friendly and much easier to handle my temper. If it weren’t for weed I wouldn’t have come very far. My family was ready to give up on me. There was no hope. I am now at college after 2 years of not attending school. I have an amazing mother who has restored hope in me and an amazing boyfriend. Thank you weed for saving me! I will continue to support this cause until our plant is free.
