(She/Her) | 25 years old | Ontario
Why I made this story:
To help people who have loved ones struggling with cannabis use. Everyone is on their own journey with substances. People need support and not shame or stigma.
Everyone is on their own journey with substances.
Tanya realized that people need time and space to figure out their relationship with cannabis. Harm reduction means offering understanding and compassion, rather than shame or stigma.
Consider appropriate time & place.
In Tanya's story she describes an episode of unconsciousness in a school bathroom due to cannabis use. It is important to exercise judgement around where and when it is appropriate to use cannabis.
