In France, cannabis use is 80% of the consumption of all drugs and concerns 3.9 million consumers. Among them, young people are particularly affected, since at the age of 16, the French are the first consumers of cannabis in Europe. A consumption whose networks are increasingly echoing.
Gold, cannabis is far from harmless : it can cause major psychic and psychiatric disorders, and mark the beginning of an addiction to psychoactive substances.
This is what happened to the journalist’s son Roselyne Febvrethat Geraldine Mayr receives in C’est la vie. She published The hummingbird’s heartbeat (published in pocket by Litos Témoignage) and comes to tell the descent into hell linked to the consumption of drugs that her son experienced from the age of 15, as well as the fight she led to try to get him out of drug addiction. How to spot the signs in a teenager and when to be alarmed? How is the care of a young person in the grip of a drug addiction going? What support for parents?
Through the journey of Roselyne Febvre and her son, Géraldine Mayr invites us to take a lucid look at the danger posed by cannabis use in adolescence.
