If Marijuana Were Legal, Would Rehab Embrace It Like They Do Cigarettes?
Question by harryh: If marijuana were legal, would rehab embrace it like they do cigarettes?
I have a former relative in a drug rehab facility. When he went in, he was not a cigarette smoker. From what I hear, he has now taken up smoking, and the facility is discouraging him from trying to give it up. With tobacco, being the number one killer among drugs, I find this extremely counter-productive and just another one of rehabs hypocrisies. So if marijuana were to be legalized, would such a facility embrace this too? How is this not hypocrisy.
Sage… Your off topic and missing the point of the question. But…. just I so get this straight, are you actually suggesting that nicotine (a drug that kills 5.4 million people worldwide per year) is a safer drug than Tetrahydrocannabinol (a drug which there has never been one confirmed death) ? Your not really serious are you? If so, what’s your last name Benson or Hedges?
midnight. He was an in-law. There was a divorce. Therefore -former family member.

From Dr. Drew and celebrity rehab:
Why are the patients allowed to indulge in their smoking addictions?
In California, I’m required by law to give people a place to smoke. It’s in what’s called Patient’s Rights. I offer every single patient CHANTIX and most of them refuse it. Brigitte Nielsen from last season is the only one who successfully stopped smoking also. Although the old wisdom in addiction treatment was that you deal with the smoking later, current research shows that you’re more likely to stay off your drug of choice if you address smoking at the same time. So I address it with every single one, but I’m obliged by law to let them kill themselves with cigarettes.
