Rehab for pot does seem excessive. That's like sensitivity training for calling someone "neener neener" in the schoolyard.

what do you mean real drug problems? marijuana is a real drug and causes real problems. i knew a girl in high school who tried to fit in with the cool kids so she started smoking marijuana cigarettes with the cool kids and then one morning her mom found her dead in her bed because she had overdosed on marijuana. no joke.

"It was [in rehab] that they told me that I was a drug addict and an alcoholic," says Thomas. "There was no turning back. The whole event solidified and created this notion in my own mind and in my social status. Who I was, was an alcoholic and drug addict."


That's why I've always hated the "always an alcoholic" BS we have in America.

No better way for someone that likes to get drunk, to get drunk, then by having them truly believe just a little ingestion of alcohol will make them an uncontrollable monster who can't stop drinking alcohol.

Oh, totally. And what about the documented fact that most junkies went from the occasional weekend reefer to injecting black tar heroin directly into their eyeballs at the drop of a spoon?

Pot isn't a GATEWAY drug...It's practically a SHOTGUN drug. Might as well be signing your own death warrant the first time you toke the doobies like the kids do.

i know the internet is for fun and games, but drugs are no laughing matter. my dare teacher told me how marijuana sucks all of the energy and motivation out of users and marijuana dealers use that to their advantage so they can date rape girls and get them teen pregnant. he called marijuana the real date rape drug and one of the leading causes of sex slavery. oh and before you make another joke, think about this: your marijuana money is going straight to fund terrorists.

when one of my best friends was 18 she got shipped off to rehab for smoking pot (granted one of those vaguely military-style, brainwashing, behavior reprograming rehab places). rehab farked her up a bazillion times more than smoking a little grass ever would have.

Oh, you don't have to convince ME. Mari-huana (a.k.a. "Wacky Weed," "Gonjah," and "Grass") is no joke, my friend.

Why, just the other day, I read a story about a 14-year-old kid who was at his first no-adult-supervision party. And one of the "cool" older kids passed him a "joint." And rather than listening to Nancy Regan and JUST SAYING "NO," he went ahead and "got high."

And what happened? Well, it was his first time being "stoned," and he couldn't handle it. He started hallucinating, and thought he could fly. And he walked straight out of a 10th-floor window. Then he caught on fire halfway down. But he never even made it all the way, because he got hit by a passing train and died before he hit the ground.

If they're going to have rehab for potheads, we need rehab for coffee addicts. Because quitting freakin' caffeine is 900% harder. For one, it's ACTUALLY physiologically addictive..

I know a guy who is a nurse at a rehab facility. He says the ones who come in for pot use are almost always teens who were forced to go there by their parents who caught them with a little bit of weed.

I would strongly suggest doing all drugs in reverse; start off directly shooting heroin at 13 or 14, continue down-scaling (crack, meth, cocaine, MDMA, temazepam etc) until you only smoke weed within 10 - 15 years or so, then alcohol, tobacco and coffee by your mid-to-late thirties and by the time you hit 40 you are back on just cereal, candy and fruit.

Or perhaps start with Jesus first. OK, that's more like it Jesus > Heroin > etc etc > weed > coffee > fruit.

More people in this country go to rehab for pot than any other drug (IIRC). This statistic is often used to support pot being illegal, but in fact illustrates how farked out our marijuana laws are.

It's not just teens. Any time you force someone into some kind of rehab that doesn't want to go, it will have the opposite effect.

[CSB]
My brother in law was sentenced to AA meetings as part of a DUI conviction. While there, he met 2 new weed dealers, a guy who sold coke and meth, and made about a dozen new friends with whom to go out and get fall down drunk with, often immediately following the meeting.
[/CSB]

Forcing rehab on someone who doesn't want it will have the opposite effect, and often leads to worse things than they are in rehab for.

Twelve-step programs in general are really not good for teenagers. I don't think very many teenagers have yet had the opportunity to completely ruin their lives and all of their relationships because of their drug or alcohol problems. That's the sort of rock-bottom person the 12-step program is most designed to help.

The whole "powerless" thing comes in by looking back at my life and all the farked-up mess that I've made of it, before I can realize that alcohol is at the root of all those problems. I know there are many ways to interpret all of the twelve steps, but for me, admitting I was powerless over alcohol did not mean admitting I was powerless in any other way, it just meant that the booze had officially kicked my ass! It meant that I needed to reclaim my power over alcohol by not drinking it.
