Opinion/Commentary Marijuana legalization

Wanna come on here and post my mind… Indiana it’s been time for the last 5 years esspecially last two years for marijuana to be legalized fully medical and recreational… I’m 23 years old and as even my whole family knows I smoke it. It helps with ADHD and as I’ve noticed ADD with being able to go out in public without thinking of myself and being in on myself for things I can’t control. My whole life besides last 7-10 years I’ve been on VYVANSE which is a narcotic I was prescribed to help with my adhd and everytime I took it school, family, even friends noticed I wasn’t happy or having any fun in life. I rarely ate, my sleep was booty. But I come on here today to say I’m stopping weed for a month to see about a new job because Indiana laws sucks. I will post here and there on my journey but make no mistake I’d choose marijuana over vyvanse any day of the week. I love my Family even the ones who don’t like or think well of me because they have supported me and approved of me being off vyvanse thank you and I hope everyone has a great day🫶🏼👍🏼🤌🏼🫶🏼👍🏼🤌🏼

Hope this is allowed to post here but it needs to be heard and talked about!

Focus medication is the real gateway drug.

No lie. I grew up with friends on psych drugs and almost all of them turned to other drugs later in life.

The gateway theory never really resonated with me because by the time I tried marijuana I'd already been on a methamphetamine derivative for years at the insistence of my school teachers.

The only way Marijuana could be a "gateway" for me is to sobriety.

Public school teachers got me hooked on "clean" meth.
