Its use is more prevalent among men than women.  About MJ: Indica, which originates from the Hindu Kush mountains of India, is believed to have a relaxing effect on the user. Sativa has a more energizing effect, while hybrid is a combination of the two. Lets break down some details about this drug, why it isn't legalized and our experiences with it (crazy story time at the end).  *** If addicted to any drug, including MJ, please get help with any of the links below or call recovery hotline: 855.845.2699 *** Resources: How to support BLM: https://www.timeout.com/things-to-do/how-to-support-black-lives-matter Therapy: PCP, IG: @Betterhelp, IG: @HelpingMindsOnline (AUS and US), Employee assistance programs and therapyforblackgirls.com BetterHelp is free for 1 month now.
