“Duck and cover! You went and stepped in it.”

I’m just saying what my learned friends who treat substance abuse are telling me.

You’ll also note that a large number of adults on various “psychological” drugs use a variety of illegal drugs too, which of course doesn’t help anything.

The whole subject of substance abuse, addiction, etc is a lot more complex than people who just are too stupid / weak / immoral to know when to stop, ya know? Anyone who’s known an addict pretty much knows that already.

I have no problem with what you said. Don't know about lately, but it used to be that if you said anything other than 'marijuana is the devil!', you would be called a druggie and worthless human scum, on marijuana threads.

My Husband has been sober for going on 8 years (Dec 20). Our girls and I participated, when appropriate, when he was in treatment. He and I went on to speak at the same treatment center monthly for about two years, on AlAnon and the importance of family involvement and communication in the recovery process.

Anyway... what you've learned from your learned friends makes sense to me..just didn't think it would go over very well with some folks here.
