If you or a close friend have ever been in rehab for a marijuana addiction, how do you, him, or her feel about marijuana afterwords? An indulgence abused? Or an evil that invaded that person's life?

you can not be addicted to marijuana, so i would say that that person would be brain washed in to hating it

Quit marijuana for good ... tinyurl.com

Alcoholics Anonymous(AA) and Narcotics Anonymous(NA) are great places to start. I don't know of any specific places, but AA and NA are free (the only requirement is the desire to stop drinking and using). I am sure the local AA and NA chapters will know of good rehab centers near you. Good luck!

My 17 year old daughter who smokes marijuana wants to stop. Aside from going to a rehab facility that will be very costly, is there any other way? Ive been looking online and I dont want to be scamed, Please, if you know of anything that works please let me know....

as crappy as it sounds, it really helps if you cut all ties with the drug which means losing all friends that do it. You just have to find something to replace it. A lot of people choose religion. You can pick up a craft (I chose knitting and picked myself up a boyfriend that HATES drugs) As a mother, be as supportive as you can.
Then there's NA

I'm sure there are forums for support but personally I think it's better not to talk to people about it because it just makes you want it more
It's not too hard to quit if you REALLY want to quit. It's all about will-power

My friend said that it is fine to try illegal drugs as long as you will not continuously use it. This is why he keeps on persuading me to puff some marijuana. However, I told him that a small amount of illicit substance would be very harmful for the body. Besides, it will lead to even bigger problem and greater addiction. I want to convince my friend using factual info, but I am not so sure about the stages of substance use. Can you help me?

Everything begins with curiosity. A person is somewhat thrilled to use something that is different for him, or perhaps he is just influenced by his peer. He will look for ways to satisfy this curiosity by giving illicit substances a try. Curiosity will then level up to experimentation. Research shows that experimentation is commonly triggered by issues such as financial and family problems. The individual will think that substance intake is a way of solving his problems. It could also be a way for him to temporary escape from the hardship he feels. After a series of drug uses under the experimentation stage, the person will eventually fall into addiction. He may not be able to stop this by himself especially if he has developed a strong dependency on it.

My date, 16, is extremely bipolar, but takes Seroquil which seems to work.

In addition to being bipolar, my date also has ADD, Anxiety, Fear of Failure, and also just completed rehab for marijuana addiction.

My date also just completed 3 months in foster care becuase the bio mom was addicted to drugs.

What are some of the complications I can expect dealing with ALL these psychological issues.

Contrary to what the previous poster said, cheating is not inevitable. I am bipolar and have been faithful with my boyfriend for almost three years. However, dating someone who is bipolar can be very hard, even if they are in proper treatment. Be strong and know that the person doesn't always mean what they say. Really bad things can seem like a good idea at the time and the consequences can be hell. Be as consistent as possible, but don't expect the same from your date. Learn as much as you can about the disorders and try to understand where the person is coming from. Talk. I can only speak generally, and from my own experience because everyone has a different experience with the same disorder.
