  • Quick, easy to understand, and had fun animation to go with it. The video itself was only 15min but the last three where advertisements so it’s really 12 minutes.

    I am going to use this presentation during my counseling sessions for those that use THC regularly. It is short and easy to understand for people of al ages.

    I have been a long time user of marijuana and this course taught me some things I did not know about weed. I know it is a drug and as with any drug it can be addictive. As an adult I have anxiety and depression and I use marijuana to help with this. I was on medication from my doctor but taking a pill that I really have no clue what is in it, is not something I enjoy doing. But after watching this video I learned that weed and smoking at a young age can be part of the reason I have anxiety and depression. Along with life factors. And at the end of the video it talks about starting your own business and some resources to start your own web page for a business. Good course.
  • Richard Bonifazio
    Great visuals with the course it did help my understanding of the videos! Very good information! I feel more sure about the risks and benefits of using and consuming cannabis and knowing the difference between what high potency and low potency products give to your tolerance.
