Describe one positive change you have made in your life. One positive change I have made in my life would be the decision to stop smoking marijuana over 20 years and counting. I realize now that it had a lot to do with me being stuck back then. It leads to other anxieties as well. Even at my young adult age and late teen age I knew it was never for me. Certain strands of marijuana caused different reactions. The more grassy the more allergic I’d become the more allergy like symptoms. The different shades of green, the more THC the more paranoid I’d become. It was never for me. I continued to smoke it because my friends did. The last time “I hit a joint…”I was driving down the hill and all of a sudden I became panicked and had a full blown anxiety attack! Years later I now still have a phobia of driving up and down hills, overpass and hillsides. The culprit…marijuana.
