If Marijuana Were Legal, Would Rehab Embrace It Like They Do Cigarettes?
Question by harryh: If marijuana were legal, would rehab embrace it like they do cigarettes?
I have a former relative in a drug rehab facility. When he went in, he was not a cigarette smoker. From what I hear, he has now taken up smoking, and the facility is discouraging him from trying to give it up. With tobacco, being the number one killer among drugs, I find this extremely counter-productive and just another one of rehabs hypocrisies. So if marijuana were to be legalized, would such a facility embrace this too? How is this not hypocrisy.
Sage… Your off topic and missing the point of the question. But…. just I so get this straight, are you actually suggesting that nicotine (a drug that kills 5.4 million people worldwide per year) is a safer drug than Tetrahydrocannabinol (a drug which there has never been one confirmed death) ? Your not really serious are you? If so, what’s your last name Benson or Hedges?
midnight. He was an in-law. There was a divorce. Therefore -former family member.
Is Someone Who Abuses Food to the Point of Negative Health Effects Equal to Someone Who Abuses Drugs*?
Question by Anonymous: Is someone who abuses food to the point of negative health effects equal to someone who abuses drugs*?
*alcohol is included as a drug.
If both food and drug abuse can cause health problems that can lead to financial stress, should they not be regulated equally?
Excessively obese persons can negatively affect those around them, just as heavy drug abusers can.
Those who use drugs in moderation can actually have health benefits, much as those who eat food in moderation.
Should we make food illegal?
