IDK what to believe anymore. I was trying to research this and of course because the billion dollar rehab industry is against it, I'm sus - even though the arguments against are pretty logical.
Anyone have any experience with this personally or with a loved one?
When I was seventeen I gave my grandmother weed. (I'm in my mid-sixties now) I thought instead of drinking, she could smoke. Anyway, she tried it and said no thank you. She would rather drink. Ten years later my grandmother died of cirrhosis of the liver.
Smoking anything is no healthier than drinking, just the damage is directed to the lungs instead.
Atleast with smoking you're more conscious of your deteriorating state, maybe giving more motivation to stop. (You feel your breath shortening over time, can you tell when your liver is hurting?)
