Drugs

Ok well im looking for people who have done weed before. you see my boyfriend smokes pot and its tearing his life apart. He's tried to quit multiple times before we started going out and he says he's going to try again. Any advice on what he should do or how i can help him?

Has ever been to a rehab centre?

Ah, this is my topic.
look, truth is, may people let drugs, including weed, take over their life. i know a girl who has to smoke week every day or she gets physically ill. i, on the other hand, can go as long as i please, and often do go a long time without smoking. my boyfriend, as well, is trying to stop smoking weed, because he cant seem to handle it.. to help him, i dont smoke around him or tempt him in any way, and i encourage and support him in his decision. i also praise him. luckily he's been very good at it.. sounds like your boyfriend isn't doing too well... maybe drug counseling will help... having to get piss tested usually stops someone from smoking..

I have smoked weed before. It is very fun...lol. But don't do it. My advise is to dump him.

Don't dumb him.

If he honestly wants to quit and cannot do it on his own, he will enter a program, there is nothing you can do but encourage him and hope he does the right thing. Like everything in life, moderation is the key, also discovering whether you are an addictive personality, although I agree with smoking, i dont agree with abusing and that goes for any drug, when it starts taking over your life and your personality, you are already into a problem that is hard to get out of. Best of luck, I hope it all works out.

REHAB!!!!!

I wouldn't suggest rehab for marijuana.

Personal experience, maybe he's become dependant on it as an escape from depression - find out if he's been depressed in the past. If that is the case, then he needs to find something else to make him happy while getting counseling. You solve the depression, he may still smoke, but he won't be so dependant and reliant on its powers to relieve him.

At the same time, it could be a stress/stress-reliever situation. A friend of mine had a lot of problems like this. He had some family problems and a few bad relationships and began using it as a depressant aid.

Doesn't make it right by no means, but consider this before you make a decision to possibly leave him or ship him to rehab. I think leaving him may just make him spiral deeper into chronic chronic smoking. And rehab for marijuana, while constructive, would not technically be logical unless it was simple mental counseling, as rehab usually applies to physically dependant drugs (where they ween the subject off and mentally sober them up).

I think this is a hard topic.

A good friend of mine used to be addicted to weed, but since then he has stopped, and even when people do it around him, even though he is tempted, he won't do it. Lately he has been having serious cravings but he has his own will power to stop him. That is one case where he had self discipline to stop the addiction. This isn't always the case.

I know other people that have had to go to rehab for it, and every single one of them are back on it. I'm not saying it doesn't help, but I'm not saying it does for sure either.

I think it depends on the person individually. What he or she has to deal with, and why they do it. I think sitting down and talking to him to see what he personally thinks will work the best for him would be good. Whether it's you helping him beat the addiction, or him thinking it's best he goes to rehab.

Best of luck.

First of all, you can not really get physically addicted to weed. I mean that in the sense that if you've been smoking twice a day for an entire year and don't smoke for one day, you won't have a crazy withdrawal where you shake, hallucinate, freak out, etc. you might have an intense craving, but that will more likely be it. I don't really consider weed a dangerous drug because more and more people have at least tried it and out of all the times I've discussed, smoked, and been around people who do it, I have only ONCE heard of a bad encounter. So, my suggestion is you give your boyfriend motivation to quit. The only way he's going to quit is if he genuinely wants to.

He has tried a private rehad center but it didn't work. he cant tell his parents and the recomended treatment requires parental concent.

If he wants to stop, he will. its mental.

Tsch. If he cannot quit a drug that has no addictive quality than he is the most weak-willed person to ever live.

I've quit smoking (cigarettes and pot) and drinking cold turkey, with nothing to facilitate my ability to quit. It's all mental, simple as thinking about something more important (i.e. his girlfriend).

Omg friggin hell, my mum has been smokin pot since she was 15..she is now 34... shes fine... she smokes daily, alot... but she is fine
i personally dont think pot is a big deal. compaired to other drugs, it is nothing.. now heroin..that is Fked up drug.... i have watched 2 people i know and love ruined from heroin.. and i see a friend on ice... ok DONT DO DRUG!!!!... but fkin hell realise that, its not as easy as u think to quit... also its only pot..realise.. u might come home afta work, have a beer and a smoke to relax and chill out...well they have a cone, or 2..or 3..or 4..or howevermany...just accept ppl for who they are~~~~!!!!!.. if they smoke a bit of pot...dont hate them.. dont send em off to rehab..there not gunna quit if DEEP DOWN they dont wanna... geez... chill off it!!!
