This Video is About Marijuana
OK. A thing I didn't say, that I probably should have, is that we haven't actually had a chance to do as much research on marijuana as we should have. Edibles have different effects than smoking which has different effects from vaping. Different strains have different amounts of THC and CBD and that matters. These are both psycho-active compounds and they both have effects on your brain. That's why they get you high, but the highs are different and the effects (and thus potential negative side-effects are different.)
But it's also very hard to even STUDY marijuana because it's illegal...so this is both another reason to decriminalize (to make research easier) and a reason why it's more complicated (we don't know for sure how many of the negative effects we've teased out.

Do I Have ADHD?
I am very lucky to have found myself (and gotten myself) in a situation that is well suited to the quirks of my personality. But I still find myself sometimes unintentionally hurting people, annoying people, or letting people down even though I often know the exact mistake I am making.
I'm not saying that means I have ADHD, I just want to continue to understand the mistakes I make, that I am prone to making them, and develop habits to stop myself. This channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-nP... is full of tips I find useful, and there are a number of habits I've developed on my own.
Finally, here's a thing I didn't say in the video. I've struggled with worrying that if I get diagnosed, I will blame the disorder instead of myself and let that excuse my behavior. I know that's dumb, because if I'm being impaired by something, I should know and take the steps to reduce that impairment. But part of me always wants to believe that I'm strong and smart enough to handle any curve ball I get thrown without letting myself or other people down.
I think that might be a pretty destructive way to look at it, which is why I'm glad I've allowed myself to get support from friends, family, and professionals over the years.
