Is it possible to get addicted to marijuana and what are some ways of treating it?
1. “Is it possible to get addicted to marijuana” No, marijuana is not physically addictive, it is habit forming – big difference. 2. Note the conflict in these two statements: “He has anxiety” “He doesnt have money to go to a doctor” So an unrelated comment, self-prescribed anxiety is his EXCUSE for smoking dope. 3. “things I could do to help him quit or at least slow down” Take this as the friendly advice it is: It’s none of your business. You say he gets defensive, anyone would. Let it go. 4. “what are some ways of treating it?” There is only one. Take away his baggie. Then he won’t be your friend any more. If you really need to “do something,” observe this ultimate truth: “You can’t control people. All you can control is how you react to them.” If he’s really a friend, as painful as it is, stop hanging out with him. If he goes away, well, he wasn’t a friend. If he “gets it,” at least he won’t smoke around you any more.
