Hello everyone, I've just posted my first blog on cannabis addiction. I hope this adds to the conversation on this topic as I see very little quality discussions about it.
Accepting defeat to cannabis, usually considered a lightweight drug, can be humiliating. It’s akin to being the hare who loses a race to a turtle or to wetting your bed at your first sleepover. The two realities shouldn’t mix. When they do, a deep sense of shame is the natural response.

Workshop Description
Binge and heavy drinking may trigger a long-lasting genetic change, resulting in an even greater craving for alcohol.
"We found that people who drink heavily may be changing their DNA in a way that makes them crave alcohol even more," said Distinguished Professor Dipak K. Sarkar. "This may help explain why alcoholism is such a powerful addiction, and may one day contribute to new ways to treat alcoholism or help prevent at-risk people from becoming addicted."
"A General Pharmacology Overview of Substances is essential to addictions counselling, as having a basic understanding of Pharmacology is critical to treatment options and outcomes therefore, it will further inform your clinical practice." Ian Robertson, MSW, RSW.
