"Ben is a true example of how a person can make a personal life change to then change the lives of others. I would highly recommend Ben to speak about the addictive nature of marijuana as it relates the adolescent lifestyles and development. His realistic and comfortable communication style allows for attendees to quickly connect and learn the real world of addiction and treatment. People will leave a session with Ben with a lot more information on THC commercialization and having some laughs along the way."
