Amazingly enough, it is now estimated that 40% (forty percent) of children are now trying or using marijuana at least once before leaving High School. I would never have guessed the statistic to be that 'high'! Please excuse the pun. On the other hand, I do not think there is one American that can honestly say that she has never known a person who used marijuana or has not done so herself. When you stop to ponder the implications of that, it can be staggering. I think that as parents, most of us would definitely like our children to avoid such an experience. This is especially true when you think of the effects that science tells us are possible for those who are using this particular drug. The...

A marijuana addiction is no different than many other addictions that plague people nowadays. Marijuana can be deceptive, as it appears the most benign on the pecking order of illegal drugs. Unfortunately, marijuana can produce some negative consequences and some dangerous side-effects that can wreak havoc in the users life. Addictions are usually defined as a pattern of use over time with a substance and or behavior that is usually associated with increased usage, and negative consequences. If I can't go a day without a particular substance and or behavior, that usually indicates a problem, indicative of an addiction. I know what you might be saying, "but I only use on weekends." Well unfortunately...

Marijuana addiction is a subject that got off to quite a bad start. Propaganda from the US government decades ago, when marijuana was relatively rare and most Americans had not tried it (unlike the current state of affairs, in which most Americans have taken a puff, and yes, mostly all of them did inhale), didn't really set the course for intelligent discussion based on - what do you call it? - oh yea, the facts! Marijuana was akin to the devils weed, and all sorts of nasty tactics were used to demonize it, including strange racist propaganda, oddly enough. Growing up taking DARE classes - (Drug Abuse Resistance Eduction) - most American kids are taught that marijuana is a drug you can addicted to...

Marijuana is a dangerous addiction that affects and threatens the physical, emotional and professional well being of an individual. Its ill effects have made most countries ban its import except for therapeutic use. Yet it is smuggled through mysterious channels and is available to addicts at phenomenal prices. Marijuana addiction is awful, as it becomes an all-consuming passion, leaving room for little else in the addict's mind. It alters the way his mind functions and makes it incapable of rational, intelligent thinking. Hence treating this addiction is crucial. Treating the addiction to marijuana does not simply entail getting the addict to stop smoking it. It is a process of education where the...

Marijuana - or Mary-J, as it is warm-heartedly called by those who are addicted to the substance, is not that different from tobacco when you come to think of it. They are both made from dried leaves. They can also be smoked, chewed and sometimes even sniffed by those who take them. Did I mention that they are also both highly addictive and destructive to the brain cells? Well, they are. Whereas tobacco has a soothing effect on those who consume it, Mary-J is much more potent because of its hallucinogenic and intoxicating effects on those who try and get hooked. I have seen cigarette smokers' reform and migrate to marijuana smoking because it makes them 'high'. Having been used for several centuries...

There are many things that seem keep you from quitting pot: Social reasons, stress, lack of a plan and so forth but hiding behind these excuses hides a nasty little devil that we either do not recognize or we do but try to hide him all the same; it is a dirty 4 letter word starting with 'F' That's right ... it is FEAR (what did you think I was talking about?) We all like to think we can do what we want but there are obstacles in our way that stop us when the reality is that fear plays a much larger part in it that we will care to admit and if you have a been a long time smoker of marijuana it only intensifies because the alternative seems to much further away. Most fear is quite subconscious however...

How many times have we said to ourselves, "I want to stop drinking!" For me it was practically every day in the latter stages of my drinking career.

I can tell you how to quit drinking alcohol and get your life back starting now! Let me first start by saying that I have nothing against AA. As a matter of fact I have been a member for years and consider myself one of the success stories. The cold hard reality though is that most people who try AA do not have success. Alcoholics Anonymous only has a success rate of around 10% and some say that the real number...

Most Iowa workers who sustain an injury in the workplace or while performing work-related duties off-site are entitled to receive workers' compensation benefits to address medical bills and other financial considerations incurred...

The anti-social nature of drug addiction results in a "Life-Style". The addict becomes out-of-synch with the social structure in which he must live. Addicts begin to associate only with other addicts or drug dealers and then transcend into the subculture of drug use. Paranoia triggered by many different things, and at many different levels, causes the addict to become less and less comfortable around anyone who is not doing the same as they are, partially because they are becoming criminals as well as addicts. Over a period of time, addiction requires particular justification, and rationalization to live with the results that it is producing. Gradually, these ego-defense mechanisms morph into...
