Answer by Chevelle
I do not think ALL drugs.
Only Marijuana.
because it is a fact that Marijuana is less harmful and less addictive than tobacco and alcohol.
Answer by Jamie James Jonathan Lynch
No, do you want to live in a country of insanity and bad reputation? You’d probably be murdered with-in a week if all drugs were legalized. Look at alcohol, it’s legal but it ruins other life’s as well as yours. This stuff makes you crazy.
The mental institute would be a hotel with most the population in it.
We need to manipulate the drug-abusers on how pathetic they’re/going to be. They should be told their corrupt and doing the act of evil.
And, yes, people don’t need to drink alcohol. If they say they do, they’re stupid.

Ok here is a question that I need some help with…. my dad is abusing prescription drugs…?
Question by Justin’s Wife of 10 Years!!: Ok here is a question that I need some help with…. my dad is abusing prescription drugs…?
he sees several (I do not know exactly how many) doctors and gets different prescriptions from each of them, they are a mixture of sleeping pills, anti depression pills, muscle relaxers, pain killers, moriphine, and probaly a whole lot more than I know of. He mixes these pills with whiskey. He also does not take the dosage the doctor gave him, but 2-3 doses at a time, and 2-3 doses later that day and so on. He can’t remember where he is, what he is doing, he mumbles weird stuff, and it is getting very hard to continue living in this arrangement. ( He lives with me and my husband and our child due to a financial hardship, my mom and brother also live with us) My question is .. who do I contact to maybe get him some professional help… we live in AZ. He is 62ish, and I am afraid that he will one day OD.
Yes my mom has seen it, but unfortunately she is afraid of him, because he can sometimes become violent, not like physically but with his words. I did forget to mention that on July 3 I have an appointment with his doctor, and I intend to address these issues with him, but I guess I worded my question wrong, (since it is so late at night).. can I have him put somewhere that will monitor his medicine intake? I can guarantee he will not go willingly.

Answer by Margie M
Does your mother see any of this? Hasn’t his insurance company questioned all the medication he is taking? I am suprised that he is given morphine as it is a VERY controlled substance and is almost never given out as a prescription.
You need to get your father out of your house and away f rom your child. What if your child gets hold of the pills or wiskey?! Call his Primary family doctor and tell him what you have stated here. He is responsible for some of this mess and he needs to be responsible for straightening it out before your father kills himself or someone in your family. Your mother also needs to step up and do something about this. Also, has anyone approached your father about what he’s doing? How about taking all the medication and wiskey away from him when he’s passed out or asleep?
Answer by slmw38
the thing is unless he wants help there’s nothing to DO but prepare yourself. my sister was same way and did accidentally OD. try to talk to him, but ultimately it will be his decision.

I have lost my friend to an online chat addiction?
Question by Blah Blah Blah: I have lost my friend to an online chat addiction?
We used to talk all the time and were so close…we dated too. He has always struggled with not fitting in and being socially awkward…until he found a chat room. Now that’s all he wants to do! He used to be so focused on playing guitar but now he barely leaves his house and when he does he can’t wait to get back home. He is 16 and also goes to school online…he let the few friendships he did have in real life go. I don;t think he believes there’s a problem because he is so happy to have found a group of ppl who are always there 24/7 and all he has to do is type. He even has gf’s from this chat room…none of these ppl he has ever met in real life. It’s like he prefers it this way and spends more than 10 hours a day online. He has also suffered from depression and still does I guess…..is there much I can do if he doesn’t want to change? He barely acknowledges me anymore….what are the effects of this if he doesn’t change? Thanks
Best answer:
Answer by Kimmy
I was the exact same at 16. Just try to support him and be friends with him at school, and join in his chat rooms with him. If you can’t do that, then call him when he’s home.
I don’t have friends anymore which is a very sad thing, so just try to be supportive. If you aren’t he’ll probably just push you away.

Are there any drug rehabs in Sandy Hook, Connecticut?
Question by regan: Are there any drug rehabs in Sandy Hook, Connecticut?
Hello! I just want to ask if anybody here has an idea if there are any drug rehabs in Sandy Hook, Connecticut because I have to find one. My son Jason has this assignment about drug rehabs and he needs to conduct some interviews for his paper. He asked me if I know of a drug rehab here in our area and I don’t know what to say to him because I also don’t have any idea about it. Please help us find a drug rehab. My son seems interested in the subject and I want him to do well in this assignment. Thank you.

Answer by dans_1962
Unfortunately, no one can do interviews with any Drug Rehab in fears of their drug connections ok drug dealers may slip in some drugs to them while in recovery. No information is given out. It’s all confidential. They will only give you basic answers like the cost and the steps taken for Detox. The basic would be assestment testing, group therapy and individual counseling. The best solution to do would be to watch this program called Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew on Thursday night on Vh1. Also, A & E channel has a program called Interventions. You should check it out. If this is another way of not announcing your son has a drug problem and needs help you can always call your Health Insurance Provider for the nearest Mental Health Center or Drug Program. You can call Alnon for many of your resources. You can go to Yahoo and type in Sandy Hook, Conn Drug Rehab Center. You can call any teen hotline for resources in your phone book. I lived with a drug user for nearly 15 years. I will tell you that many rehab centers don’t work for some drug users. They do have a strict regimen to follow. First thing they do is a body search. Making sure no drugs have been hidden even a rectal exam is performed. They give you a physical. They do an assessment test or interview. They keep you their for only 3 months unless it’s court ordered to stay for one year. If no one offers to give an interview than go to Yahoo Groups and see if you can find recovery drug users.
