Drug and Alcohol addiction doesn’t happen in a vacuum. If she smoked pot at 12, then she was heading into troubled waters from the git. Maybe you were in a bad neighborhood, not wealthy enough to take care of the problem right away ... as in boarding school or Junior Military Academy. Maybe you were too rich and became an enabler — spoiled her with endless supply of money for drugs. Maybe perhaps your family wasn’t functioning properly?

Pot is not a gateway drug just like guns don’t make people go on killing rampages.

For people near or over 50, Pot is a very good drug given the right strain. It keeps me alive and enjoying life where I otherwise would have hard times due in large part to health maladies. One of the primary reasons I like Marijuana is it keeps me off the psychotropics. Everybody I know over 50 is on psychotropics — prozac, zoloft, celexia — Just what the Government wants. Zombie people not causing political problems as we’re brought to hell in a hand basket.

I pray for your daughter and you and hope the situation self-repairs itself in full and for a happy ending.

Man ... that is way, way, way too true. I think it explains some wacky folks I know who never smoke pot, but they're more screwed up than the potheads I know! Never thought of it before!

I find this odd as very few of the people I know over 50 are on these drugs. Different crowds I guess.
