J Rock describes his first meeting with In-volve in an article that appeared in The Independent:
“Day two is also when I start seeing a drugs counsellor, Lee. We talk about some serious things - my paranoia, and the fact that I used to self-harm when I was depressed. I used to cut myself on my arms so that some of the pain I was feeling inside would come out. And I'd never talked to any of my friends about it. It was pretty difficult to do it but I had to be honest with myself.
Talking to the counsellor about those things helped me to recognise what I was going through. I started to realise that I was contributing to my self-destruction every time I had a spliff. But the counsellor said to me, "You're going to find the real you underneath the weed."'
In-volve’s approach to working with Cannabis users clearly works. At the conclusion of the one month intervention J Rock told The Independent:
“I do a test to see whether I've still got THC in my system, and I pass. It feels amazing. It's the first time since I was 13 I've had no weed in my system. Beyond all my achievements I'm most proud of this. No one can tell me I'm a pot head any more. And I've realised you don't need weed in your system to be a heavy rapper. You don't need weed to be the best actor. You don't need weed for anything, you just need yourself.”
