Thanks for the feedback :) This is a tricky question for me to answer. Ideally, I will always advocate total abstinence in conjunction with treatment (with a trained professional). I strongly believe that as a society, we have become so used to self medicating, that we have forgotten how to live life as naturally as possible. However, I am personally aware of how many people struggle to stop using the more "dangerous" drugs, and I am definitely a believer in harm reduction. In saying that, in certain instances, I think using cannabis as an exit herb, is great!! I would just recommend that you monitor, how you use it , and how much. Even our glorious cannabis can be addictive. It is also important, that you have someone to talk to, preferably someone who is skilled in some form of counseling or therapy.

When looking at "addictive" behaviours, we do not use the term "addictive personalities" anymore. It is important to assess whether your behaviour is seen as "healthy". Are you preoccupied with the behaviour, do you think about it constantly, to the point of it being a priority? Is it negatively impacting your life? If so, then you need to reevaluate it, and come up with a solution.

I am going to be writing an article on addictive behaviours soon so keep an eye out!!!
