I have an 18 year old daughter who smokes marijuana. How do I get her to stop.?
Ignore most of the stupid responses below. If God intended your daughter to be smoking marijuana, she would have popped out of the womb smoking a bong load. I am a former addict and have been sober for over 20 years. Have you sought counseling? If possible, get her into a drub rehab program (live-out okay) with her peers. She is more likely to have success when attempting sobriety with the support of her peers and not a bunch of old recovering addicts (like me:). The head trauma has nothing to do with it. She will experience more head trauma by continuing to smoke pot. Also, don’t believe the old “let her hit bottom” theory. Many people die from hitting bottom that could have been saved through intervention. There is a great book called, “No More Letting Go” by Debra Jay. I highly recommend it. Don’t give up. Be willing to change yourself. Helping someone ALWAYS involves sacrifice – painful, longsuffering sacrifice. Don’t be fooled by anyone who tells you otherwise (they’re just lazy a
Don’t put her in rehab, that’s stupid. Marijuana has no addictive properties, at least not physical addiction. She may feel a phsychological addiction, but that’s not cause for rehab. It’s probably a phase. I went through it too, smoking weed everyday, eventually it got old. She’ll probably grow out of it. But just in case, I would say, punish her and I mean REALLY punish her. My mom let me do whatever the hell I wanted, she would find a bag of weed in my room (sometimes worse than weed) and she would simply confront me, say don’t do it, then let me be. Then I would go smoke more cuz I knew if she found out she wouldn’t do anything but scold me. She never grounded me, or gave me any discipline at all. She gave me plenty of love, as is obnvious that you do to your daughter, but be sure to discipline her, cuz if you don’t she’ll think she can do whatever and you’ll be fine with it. It’s a tad trickier since she’s 18. I would say evict her, or at least threaten to, if she doesn’t quit. Gi
Well, what would appeal to me is scientific evidence that smoking marijuana after a year old concussion could cause significant harm. Now, depending on the doctor or the source, one could argue that marijuana is bad for everyone, but plenty of accredited scientific studies have shown that the only real danger in smoking marijuana is the smoke and that it is arbitrarily illegal. I say, don’t smoke, eat! Of course, this is only pertaining to healthy adults. I do not know about the concussion. I suggest finding a doctor who acknowledges that marijuana isn’t as bad as publicized by anti-drug propaganda and knows about head injuries. This would make a seemingly less bias argument for your daughter.
there is no evidence that marijuana is bad for people with head trauma unless u count careless from falling on your head while intoxicated there is evidence marijuana is good for head trauma http://www.drugpolicy.org/marijuana/medi… http://www.a1b2c3.com/drugs/mj021.htm http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/hemp… but either way your daughter is of legal age. you can threaten to evict her from your house or u can accept\ her choice and hope she chooses to let go of her dependence or recreational use of marijuana. better yet hope she learns to use marijuana responsibly thank about it like this. when your daughter hits 21 she will more then likly drink alcohol. now she can abuse it or she could enjoy responsib
