So who am I? I'm just a 19 year old girl from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Lived here my entire life and can't wait for the day I say "See ya later!" My name is Maddison. Second name Blue. But I prefer Maddi. When I am able to, I want to change my name to 'Indie Blue" - it's more laid back, more me. I have always felt like my name didn't suit me, always found it hard to answer to. Mary - Jane and I became friends when I was 16, she's saved my life a few times. Suffering from depression and anxiety from the time I was 12, it was a relief when I found something that allowed me to feel okay. To feel like I could face the world and not care about anyone's judgment. I don't smoke ganja to be "cool" or to be a rebel and break the law. I do it to live another day, because antidepressants and sleeping tablets just don't cut it for me. When I'm high, I have more control over my thoughts, I have more love and less loathing for myself and I am just, overall, a more stable person. So how can something that does so much good, for so many people, for a wide range of reasons be illegal? How can our governments and our politicians sit by umming and ahhhing about the pros and cons when worse drugs like alcohol and the chemical cocktails we call cigarettes are sold on Australian shelves? I'd love to get to know each and everyone of my Stoney friends online! So hit me up with a reply. I'm also going to share the first of many bowls with you guys! Live High ✌ Indie_Blue

Hello Indie and welcome to GC. I like you and I'm sure you will play a major role in the GC community. You seem to have it together for a 19 year old. Thanks!
Hi everyone! Thank you all for welcoming me with open arms. One day I hope to educate young people on the benefits of marijuana and the amazing effects it has on our minds. I can't wait to get to know everyone, but alas! That will have to wait until tonight when I get home from work.
Welcome Indie, I know it's sad how propaganda has ruined soo many good things. I'm with you on that one. Not to mention, Gov is dictating how everyone lives. such a shame how ppl by the millions are blind to it.

Hello and welcome. I started smoking because of basically the same reasons as you. I'm 27 but I started having serious anxiety and panic attacks shortly before turning 20. I was prescribed Valium and Zoloft and they seemed to help a lot in the beginning but they sorta turned me into an emotionless zombie. Im glad you also discovered the benefits of this wonderful herb.
