Summary
Morris stood up at the end of our last therapy session. He was leaving the following day to return to his parents’ home after being convicted of marijuana cultivation and sale. I had been treating Morris’s anxiety as he felt the law’s tightening grip around the sprawling cannabis business he had built. Proud of his success at managing such a large operation, he had arrogantly and deludedly believed that cannabis would be legalized before he was arrested. A defeated smile crossed his lips as he gravely shook my hand and said defiantly, “You know it’s only a matter of time. I will be vindicated in the future.” And he has been. We both understood the future of cannabis back then. What does the future look like now?
