Hi Mikeyb
I’ve just read your post and I will admit I was emotionally moved. The description of your life and your characteristics are identical to my son. He is only 16 but is addicted to cannabis. From your feeling of social unacceptance to the betrayal of loved ones. This was a very powerful piece of writing and you deserve total respect for being so open. I only wish my son had your courage to face up to his mistakes and realise what he is doing to himself. I thought about making I’m read your post but he only cares about himself and feels he is doing nothing wrong so it would not resonate with him. Hopefully one day it will.
