The year is 2020, the world just stopped, I am stuck at home with my wife and my two young kids, and I am smoking weed non-stop as a coping mechanism.

2 grams/day.

Then, one day, my daughter asks me : "Daddy, why are your eyes always red and swollen?"

I quit weed that evening and wrote a book about my addiction.
