We live in two worlds: the external materialistic world and the internal psychic one which regulates our self-esteem. The external world is planning to legalize marijuana in July 2018 and the internal world needs to be well-informed about the possible risks of using marijuana in pursuing a quick fix, new sensations and relief from despair if we want to avoid addictions and psychotic experiences. This talk will look at the risks of marijuana to the developing brain, pregnant moms, and those with mental health disorders in addition to the risks for driving and combining with meds or alcohol. Finally, the importance of strict regulation, marketing, and distribution will be suggested if we want to prevent unnecessary suffering. Open to everyone 15 years+.
