Summary
If your loved one's addiction is marijuana, do they try to justify using it by saying it's safe because it's 'all-natural'? Or that it's not as harmful compared to other drugs?
If you are struggling with boundaries around marijuana, trust me; you're not alone.
But remember: you're not powerless. Educating yourself and understanding the effects of marijuana will help you decide what you are (or aren't) comfortable with when it comes to their addiction.
Tune into this week's episode where I discuss if marijuana is safer than other drugs. I also share some helpful resources (and how to set boundaries for yourself).
