drug rehab program talks about drug and alcohol myths and lies:marijuana is not addictive
Friday, May 25th, 2007“I can stop anytime I want”. This is the big lie substance abusers use to justify their continued abuses. They will generally not stop and ridgidly oppose anyone who challenges this position. They will have logical explanations and impeccable logic designed to confuse the people close to them. They may even tell you that they will prove it to you by abstaining, for the period of time it takes to convince you. Then they are back at it again.
”Marijuana is not addictive”. This is a dangerous statement. The THC level in marijuana today is at 25%. this makes it a powerful drug with addictive properties. It is destructive on it’s own and a definite gateway drug to other substances. The myth that a joint is just like a drink keeps the myth going. Many hard core drug abusers started out believing the myth and ended up becoming fullfledged drug addicts. This is not the maryjane of the sixties. Todays marijuana growers use sophisticated techniques to produce potent and purer strains of ‘weed’.
