I love “Do you know” write up. And I really appreciate this informative write up. I am not a fan of both tobaccos and cannabis. Even caffeine I am not in for it.

Thanks for sharing

With love ❤️

This is truly an eye opener to us all both those who are involved directly or indirectly. I think the major problem we are having is we always give reasons for everything whether good or bad. When we see that something is bad it is just best we learn to stop it than look for an excuse.

Thank you so much for Sharing this with us, I'm glad I found this and it's all thanks to #dreemport ❤️.

The reasons are always endless 🤣
I was discussing with a friend and next he told me was the popular saying, "one thing must kill a man"
I then asked him, so if you are told to select the one thing that will kill you, you will select cannabis?
He didn't respond but then he didn't stop🤧

Exactly! That's just the problem, we are seeing it that what we're doing is wrong but stopping it is not just possible for us. I hope we get to see the end of these things and not the other way around.

cannabis is a gateway drug because it is illegal. if it was legalised and regulated users it would be as much a gateway as tobacco, alcohol, or sugar.

I still wonder why those who smokes still do that even after some have known of these information. We need to take care of our health.
