Neal Pollack, author of book “Pothead” shares his story of 25 years of marijuana addiction. Neal speaks of the fact that society sometimes looks at Marijuana as a non-addictive substance that individuals do not need addiction treatment for as it is not addictive to some people. Neal says Marijuana can be extremely addictive to people and problem weed smoking is a thing. Neal says that he smoked marijuana to mask his personal flaws, to escape from responsibilities, emotional realities and also from being a father and a husband. Trauma and Addiction Recovery In March 2017 Neal’s mother passed away very suddenly and Neal began to have a downward spiral of Marijuana addiction without sight of recovery in his way.  Neal’s final day of using Marijuana he had a public meltdown in Dodger Stadium which he says it was very embarrassing and that is where his recovery journey began from marijuana addiction. Addiction Recovery Book When Neal released his book “Pothead” he felt it was a bit of an obligation for him to release a book on Marijuana addiction recovery because for so many years he thought Marijuana was the only choice and he would convince people to continue to use Marijuana who might have needed recovery. Neal's book was published by the Central Recovery Press and is a self-help book for those looking for recovery from marijuana addiction, they can read Neal’s story and find recovery if they want.
