well if weed is his passion then i think his dream of working in the medical marijuana industry seems like a good fit
smoking weed saved my life. not even an exaggeration. i was at rock bottom and suicide seemed my only option and literally starting smoking weed daily was the only thing that floated me through
weed doesn't heal people though, it only works to help and if your son has anxiety and says the weed is helping then i would believe it is
he's doing well in college which is good and without the weed that might not been the case
my mood drops and my anxiety rises when i stop smoking because the weed doesn't cure it, it just helps me be able to function enough to deal with it... but i don't smoke it and feel better and pretend my life is dandy and good
i smoke it and then i work on the long term things i need to do/change in order to eventually be able to handle it all on my own without any weed
(because i can't do that right now and perhaps if you ask your son he might tell you he feels the same way)
i'm glad he's found something more stable to substitute the alcohol with, i personally don't find any benefit in alcohol when it comes to trying to help mental health things
