I honestly believe that if marijuana were legal, it would help many people break the addiction to harder drugs like crack and meth. Although I’ve never smoked crack or did meth, I used to deal and snort a shitload of coke, and I drank a lot of alcohol. I was always staying out getting into trouble, etc… but one day a “more responsible” friend of mine told me that if I would quit doing stupid shit and just stay home for 3 months that they would provide my weed during that time. It helped. I haven’t looked back since. I was able to break my other habits during that time frame and get my life back on track.

These days, I’m fairly successful with a FANTASTIC job, and my only habits are weed and cigarettes.

I think I was given a good form of rehab, and I believe that if it were offered to other addicts, marijuana could work for them also. Maybe it’s beneficial because good marijuana helps most people to relax, and for me personally, it helps me focus. I think I may have ruined my attention span by doing the various drugs I’ve done over the years, and weed certainly helps me focus and pay attention better.
