So how do you know when you need rehab?

[Jadian21]

Are you ditching work/class/responsibilities to get stoned? Are you spending more money on pot than you should and thus coming up short on bills? Do you plan to go do something productive and then get stoned and do nothing instead?

If you're answering yes then put down the pipe for a while and see if the pot is enabling you to make excuses for not doing these things. If you're still lazy, broke, and unhappy, then shit start smoking again because then at least you'll be high, lazy, broke, and unhappy.

-when you feel that you cant function normally withought a substance and feel not only phisically, but also mentally dependant on any substance..

I went to rehab for only weed,,
but that was only because the court
agreed to expunge my charges if i completed
rehab. so i guess i didnt have to go to it
but im happy i did because i have no record now.

you cannot become physically dependent upon weed like most other drugs but you CAN become mentally dependent meaning pretty much that you like to smoke a little too much and it becomes an issue in your life that affects other responsibilities. rehab is primarily for destroying physical dependencies and all that. if you think weed is hurting you then you really need to just stop for a while or decide how you can smoke and still be responsible ya know?

Stay high.

this is a common rationale that really makes no sense. Certainly you can be physically addicted to weed. If not so, analgesic medicinal properties of weed would be nonexistent. How would it help with physical pain if it didn't carry the risk of physical addiction? Does it only treat psychosomatic disorders? Hell no.

The reason you can separate weed addiction from addiction to other drugs is because weed addiction has mild short and long term effects (for most). You could compare it to coffee addiction or a food addiction (both are physically real). But one can carry on these addictions and function in a relatively normal way and there's no stigma attached to those commonplace things. I believe weed would be the least harmful of these common addictions, though.

Also, the perceived physical need for a fix with stronger drugs is more extreme than that of herb.

Rehab for weed? Insane thinking.
Rehabs are for drug addicts that need to gain a foundation to live in society without drugs and or alcohol as your crutch.
I went to a rehab right from 5 months in jail because I was a full on drug addict and the rehab helped me gain the footing I have under me now.

It is almost 7 years and I still do not do drugs but, I would never think of rehab for weed. I smoked weed in the rehab for being a drug addict.
Weed has kept me from being an addicted to narcotics type of addict for a long time.

you go to rehab when the judge tells you it's that or jail.

edit:

Weed is not a physically addictive substance. That's like going to rehab for cigarettes. While you CAN go, because it's a drug and illegal, you probably won't get much out of it. They brain-wash you with programs not far from the 12-steps, and completely fuck with your head. Unless you honestly believe that pot is controlling your life, counseling or even just a smoke break would be more effective and less costly.
