Question by Andrew Smith: Why are people who smoke Marijuana treated so strictly by society in some States. (Please read)?
I’v noticed that the in some U.S. States, people who smoke marijuana are treated like they are a junkie or a bad guy, they are kind of looked down upon and some will say “you need to go to rehab, you have a drug problem” when they get caught smoking a single joint. I’m from Canada, and here Marijuana is very contraversional but even those who are highly against it, don’t look down upon the poeple who smoke it like they are a junkie. My dad was a cop and he was againts marijuana use, he thought marijuana use was wrong BUT he would never look down at someone like they were a junkie if they smoked pot. I mean, it’s not like crack-cocaine or heroin. People who use those drugs are junkies but not pot users. In some States, if you smoke pot in high school, you could be in a lot of trouble and they will guilt you so much you would think pot is the Devil’s drug, but here in Canada, if you smoke pot at school, they would send you home at worst. It’s frowned upon, but the teaches don;t think you have a drug problem if your caught with a joint, maybe if you were caught with a gram of cocaine they would think you have a drug problem, but not over pot.
I just want to know why???

They believe the propaganda and most people seem to fall in to 2 categories:
1. Marijuana is as “dangerous” as crack and all users are horrific addicts.
2. Marijuana is “Just an Herb” and has no dangers what so ever and is 100% non-addictive.
Both sides are horribly wrong.
I don’t smoke weed anymore and haven’t in many years because it now triggers anxiety attacks but I see marijuana as it is, a psychoactive chemical that, with heavy use, causes a degrade in mental capabilities and is addictive to a very small number of people.
It i far less harmful than alcohol and should be treated as the drug it is, with respect and not something to be used all the time.

Alcoholism
Alcoholism interventions should be carefully planned and developed by professional substance abuse counselors who are experienced in such procedures. The most essential purpose of an alcoholism intervention is to get the alcoholic to seek professional alcohol addiction treatment.

Alcohol. Friend or foe?
High levels of alcohol consumption can lead to physical illness and psychological and social distress. Alcohol has therefore always had an ambivalent position in society.
In moderation, it can be the oil that makes a social occasion go with a bit more flow or helps a shy person overcome their inhibitions.
Small, regular amounts of alcohol also seem to have a positive effect on the heart and circulation. But too much alcohol is often a recipe for disaster.
The increasing use of alcohol, along with other drugs of abuse, is a serious public health problem across all age ranges, but especially so in the young.
What is alcohol dependence?
Alcoholism, or alcohol dependence is a medical term with a deliberately more precise meaning than the problems that can occur, sometimes as one-offs, through an uncharacteristic binge.
In alcohol dependence a number of features come together in the behaviour of the person affected.
- Withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety and tremor develop after a short period without a drink, and are reduced by taking more alcohol.
- Tolerance develops, so it takes more alcohol to produce drunkenness.
- Drinking begins to take priority over other activities. It becomes a compulsion.
Often alcohol dependence remains undetected for years. Both the availability of alcohol and the way it is used (the social patterns) appear to be major factors in influencing the likelihood of a person becoming alcohol dependent.
There may also be a genetic component, because alcohol dependence clusters in some families. However, it’s hard to be sure that this is not because of learned behaviour.
Alcoholism Symptoms – First Stage
The following represents some of the alcoholism symptoms and behaviors in the first stage of alcoholism:
- Increasing tolerance;
- A conscious effort to seek out more drinking opportunities;
- Gross Drinking Behavior – more frequent drinking of greater amounts;
- Boasting and a “big shot” complex;
- An ability to drink great amounts of alcohol without any apparent impairment;
- Lack of recognition by the person that he or she is in the early stages of a progressive illness.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), each year in the United States, between 1,300 and 8,000 babies are born with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). Fetal alcohol syndrome is a combination of physical and mental birth defects that affects about 6% of the babies born to women who are alcohol abusers or alcoholics.
