Might have to agree with him on that, weed is still federally illegal so it’s not allowed on college campuses and it’s very risky to get caught with it most places. Plus the smell is very strong and easily identifiable so smoking weed is a lot more risky than drinking or taking edibles in your room
As someone who was diagnosed with depression at 15 the weed is the only thing that kept me going my freshman year of college and is the reason I didn’t drop out!! I had no friends, I was 10 hrs. From home, and a hard ass course load. It allowed me to slow my mind down and quiet the thoughts so I could feel some semblance of normality and be able to fxn. Now that I’ve found meds that’s work, switched schools and my major, it’s more for recreational use and to help me sleep
