Tiny Green Lava Rock Beads with Silver Tone Marijuana Leafs.
The green lava rock looks like a tiny bud, with the familiar leaf hanging below. Genuine lava rock also works as an essential oil diffuser. Just add a drop of your favorite oil.
In February of 2017 my youngest son relapsed. That relapse was fatal since the heroin he bought was mixed with furanyl-fentanly, one of the many fentanyl analogs killing so many. My son was 27 years old, father of an 8 year old son. In the journal that we found after my son’s death, we read how he knew 2017 was going to suck as he went through withdrawal and tried to overcome his addiction. He was determined to beat it though and come into 2018 like a star. Addiction said otherwise and a dealer who had no scruples helped addiction along.
These earrings are in memory of my son who, for years, advocated for the legalization of marijuana. I was one of those die hard anti-drug parents, but he proved to me, with well researched logic, that marijuana was actually beneficial, if used responsibly. There is new research now that shows that marijuana can actually help with those going through opioid addiction.
But I didn’t just make these earrings to look cool or to say, “hey, I have a dead child who smoked weed”. I donate 10% of every sale of these earrings to a group called NC Harm Reduction.
" North Carolina Harm Reduction Coalition (NCHRC) is a statewide grassroots organization dedicated to the implementation of harm reduction interventions, public health strategies, drug policy transformation, and justice reform in North Carolina and throughout the American South. NCHRC engages in grassroots advocacy, resource and policy development, coalition building, and direct services for people impacted by drug use, incarceration, sex work, overdose, gender, HIV and hepatitis and first responders. “ - from the website.
The people who make up this amazing group are out there on the streets reaching out to those suffering from addiction. They offer food, clean syringes, fentanyl test kits, to make sure the stuff they’re buying isn’t going to kill them like it killed my son. They offer info about recovery and rehab facilities. They offer an ear and a shoulder. They see an addict as a person, a human being, suffering from an illness that will not let go.
