I have a friend in AA. A former boozer “cured” for 4 years now. He goes to meetings of all types. He told me that, in his experience, the most difficult new addicts coming into the programs to reform are heroin and pot users. The former, because it is so addictive, and the latter because the users refuse to believe that it’s harmful, even though they struggle mightily. It’s more than just habitual.
I’ve heard the same. I think it’s wise to listen to the people on the front lines of rehab so when they say it’s a serious problem, I believe them.
There is a huge difference b/t alcohol and pot anyway. A person can drink a beer or two/glass of wine or two with dinner as a way to enjoy the meal. Pot is smoked ONLY for one reason - and that is to get high. And wine actually does have some benefits to it. No benefits from pot, except perhaps some cases where it supposedly helps with nausea and I’ve heard even that is exaggerated.
My mother was prescribed the stuff IN pot when she went through chemo. She didn’t like it. So, there’s no reason for the pot itself if they can do that. It’s just a lame excuse.
Meanwhile, do you want to be the guy working with the poor soul who has medicinal pot prescribed for him? Not me. Sheesh.
