Is There a Marijuana Addiction?
Question by : Is there a Marijuana addiction?
[rewrite]Is it possible to be addicted to weed? I always thought that it wasn’t so I went ahead and did it everyday for over 10 months. NOw I have a drug test coming up and not smoking is killing me. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence but I have trouble sleeping (and when I do I have dreams and I can’t tell the difference between the dream world and reality) I’ve been very irritable, I’ll go from being tired and sick one hour and wide awake and fine the next. Worst of all, all I want to do is get high!
What Should I Say at an Alcohol/drug Evaluation to Avoid Rehab?
Question by Anonymous: What should I say at an alcohol/drug evaluation to avoid rehab?
[rewrite]I recently got in some legal trouble, not involving any drugs or alcohol, and now have to be on probation for a bit. I went to probation yesterday for the first time and met with a woman who asked about family history, alcohol/drug history, and such. I didn’t lie on anything, and told her I drink once a week with friends on the weekend, and just quit smoking marijuana a month ago. She now wants me to get an alcohol/drug evaluation and says they might require a rehab program for me! I, in now way, shape, or form need a rehab program, and really wish I would have just lied about it! What should I say at the evaluation in order to keep myself from having to enter a program?
