Celebrity Rehab ‘Marijuana’ Addict!!???
This is some kind of joke, right? Doesn’t it kind of undermine the fact that marijuana is not a narcotic and is not addictive, as the government’s 80 year failure to provide conclusive evidence has shown? “Marijuana withdrawal is comparable to Heroin withdrawal,” Dr. Drew said to the washed up former child star. Huh? I’ve seen people get a bit cranky when their dealer up the street runs out of supply, but I have yet to this day seen a marijuana ‘user’ suffer through vomiting,seizures/convulsions,night sweats,tremors,the ‘pricklies’ or any other symptom associated with opiate withdrawal. Now, if I were 15 again, I would see this misinformation, and that of the “parternership for a drug free america” ad campaign as I saw the “Just Say No” ads from Nancy Reagan when they began labeling (impoverished) sick people criminals in the 80’s. “I smoke weed and stop without being as miserable as Timmy, my friend the heroin addict.” “The government and the geezers are liars. Have a shot, granny…”

The world would be better without marijuana or the need for it, but then again that works the same for guns, war, money, religion, highways, cars, and everything else that ends up torturing people. But I would say marijuana is the least serious disaster out of them all.
Jaimee Foxworth smoked pot all day to escape the fact that she was doing porn, but she had to do porn to pay for her marijuana habit.
Huh?

“And what does the science say? Well, according to the nonpartisan National Academy of Sciences Institute of Medicine — which published a multiyear, million-dollar federal study assessing marijuana and health in 1999 — “millions of Americans have tried marijuana, but most are not regular users [and] few marijuana users become dependent on it.” The investigator added, “[A]though [some] marijuana users develop dependence, they appear to be less likely to do so than users of other drugs (including alcohol and nicotine), and marijuana dependence appears to be less severe than dependence on other drugs.” “
Its just a bunch of hypocrites in the government lying to there people. Marijuana isnt even illegal because it gives a euphoria. Marijuana isn’t bad, shure it has some effects on the mind but nothing serious enough to send you to rehab. People in rehab will laugh at you if you tell them your in there for marijuana, because they know its not bad.
I’m so tired of the these misinformation campaigns. Its sick the way that these facts get twisted around. Comparing marijuana use to heroin use belittles both parties. it makes if seem like the average Joe pot smoker is a hardened criminal, and on the other hand it makes an heroin addict who needs serious help look like there addiction is contrived and getting them help is not important. The media needs to stop blatantly LYING to us. people need to have the facts, so that they can keep from hurting them selves. I feels like the government is confusing us with the hopes that we’ll kill our self’s of!f haha… long rant.
