Hi Everyone,
This post appears to be spam (we removed a referral URL from the post). However, we decided to not delete the post as we have a lot of people private messaging us about the use of cannabis to treat depression and anxiety. This probably has to do with the recent legalization of cannabis in Canada.
Here are some facts to consider:
We have an evidence-based quiz for cannabis called Check Your Cannabis, which was developed in partnership with researchers at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (http://www.camh.ca). It's antonymous and you can take it here: http://www.CheckYourCannabis.net).
We are also developing an educational text messaging program with the non-profit group Parent Action on Drugs - http://parentactionondrugs.org. When that program is live we'll post a link so you can try it out.
If you have have any questions or concerns, please feel free to post them as it's important for us to have conversations. If anyone wants links to helpful articles, or other web-based resources please let us know.
Oh - and we generally delete spam. Please contact us if you see spam in the community.
Best,
Trevor
Hi Judy,
So great to hear that you're starting to feel better. It takes a lot of effort, but our studies show that the program (and CBT) works!
Please keep us posted, especially as your comments will be inspiring for people who are just starting out!
Here's a great video for anyone out there who feels alone, or is worried about starting a conversation, or jumping into the program:

Hi Bordercollie,
Please see this image for information on how to get started with the program:
If you (or anyone else reading this) needs more help, please feel free to private message me.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of our American members! 🦃 🇺🇲

Hi Feelinginadequate,
Thanks so much for sharing your story - that's very brave of you. Please know that you are in a safe place, and we encourage you to share your thoughts, feelings, challenges, struggles and eventually - your successes.
I encourage you to start reading through our Anxiety and Depression programs. Our research shows that both of those programs work, and that if you stick with the homework you'll most likely start to feel at least a little better by the end of Session 4.
Some people who use this program start with setting some small, reachable goals (the Goals exercise on your program home page), others begin with the Depression & Anxiety Test (also on your program home page), while others find great relief in posting in our community. Others focus on tracking their symptoms in the diaries so they can begin to detect patterns.
How you use the program is up to you! Although we push you to complete each Session's homework the program is designed for you to use any or all tools, and to be completed at your own pace.
If your post made you feel better, please continue to post! We have dozes of people signing up every day, and you can bet that someone has read you post and was inspired, or felt a little less lonely, as they feel like you.
Please let us know how you can help and feel free to Private Message me if you'd like!
Hey Dygon - thanks so much for checking things out! There are a few issue we're working out but they should all be fixed soon and we are working through them. Thanks for the positive energy 👍
Hi John and others,
We've just added the ability to change currency symbol on you quit meter. To change currency go to page 1 or milestone 1 (Getting Started), which you should be able reach if you are logged in by clicking here: https://evolutionhealth.care/quit-smoking?pageId=1&sessionId=26
Go to question four and change your currency:
Note: Make sure to hit "reload" or "save" at the bottom of the page. This should automatically update your currency symbol in your quit meter. We've tested internally but it would be great if a few users would test for us and let us know if there are any issues.
We really love the suggestions and are trying to implement all upgrades and features. Thanks so much for the positive comments, and please Private Message me or Ashley if you have any questions or concerns.
Cheers!
Trevor
