I’ve been writing about addiction recently; more specifically addiction to drugs, and even more specifically, weed addiction, which is not known to be a particularly heavy addiction, but which more and more people are starting to realize is real nonetheless, and should be discussed.

Yesterday I wrote about my ongoing addiction to weed, and the different ways I’ve tried to manage it throughout the years.

Motivation is essential if we wish to succeed at any task, without a doubt.
