this is actually sad he didn't solve his addiction he just replaced one addiction for another i don't think he was just taking the gummies because he thought they were healthy i think it was just a replacement for his candy addiction and he found it difficult to stop even when it was hurting him and he used pretending he thought it was healthy as a way of staying in denial about his own addiction

CT was suffering from hypoglycemia. He needed sugar. He knew that in maples, there was maple syrup and in maple syrup there was sugar. So it should be a good idea to eat 2 maple trees, he thought ...
