Hey, just curious if anyone agrees that mary jane can ease the withdrawal off of the hard shit. My little bro is staying with me right now..he's moved to where I'm at to get away from meth. He's going through his first days of withdrawal. I'm getting some smoke in hopes that it might help him out. Has anyone ever seen where smoking the green helps people get free from meth/heroin/cocaine? Just curious if it's helped anyone else. And if you have any kind advice..please share. Thanks

Hey, what's up, bro. Getting off meth is hard. But, I'm sure weed can only help. Keep an eye on your shit. I know he's your bro, but you can't trust people on meth. Good luck, man. You being there for him will help a lot.
P.S. Boone is a tight place. I try to make it out there once a year to go skiing.

Who the fuck said that??? I said to keep an eye on your shit. If you trust a meth addict 100% (even if they're family) you're retarded.

thats not true dubbah my older brothers always got their asses kicked when they tried to fight me. and if meth urges are strong enough you'd steal from your own momma to get a fix.

Thanks man. See this is one of the reasons I wish they would legalize it, cuz it's helped people quit the really lethal crap.

I know a little about this issue. A close friend of mine was a white-poweders freak. It was hell every day. It finally killed him. Anyway, Jimmy said the ONLY way to keep the powders away was to substitute for something else that was pretty good. So he smoked more cigs. Lapped more beer. Tasted the weed.

In other words he traded an addiction for some vices. Good luck.

Honestly I doubt replacing one drug with another is going to be helpful. Drug addicts trying to quit need to get all drugs out of their system. I get where you are going with the trying to help him be mello and alleviate the pains of withdrawal ... but honestly... I think he needs to FEEL THE PAIN of withdrawal. Make it too easy and he's gonna think... "hey... easy... I can do it and just smoke weed if I need to quit for a bit". See where I'm going with this?

Don't get me wrong... I love weed and I know it's benefits... but I just don't think hard core drug withdrawal is the best application for marijuana... or any other drug.

I don't believe marijuana is a "gateway" drug to use of harder drugs.... and I don't believe it's a "reverse gateway" drug to get OFF of harder drugs either.

Just my 2 cents for what it's worth.

Best of luck to you and your brother

Jeez, thats seriously hardcore. Maybe you should consider clinical options. It's not my place but I'm just throwing it out there. Either way I hope your brother gets all this sorted and put it behind him.
