khbird | Can a
person smoke pot and stay away from meth?
Jim has always smoked pot longer than he did meth, the question is can a person stay away from meth and just smoke pot, it don't really bother me that he smokes pot, I think it helps him to relax, but a friend said that he would go back to meth because he needs a stronger drug..any oppinions on this? |

A drug is a drug is a drug...if you are truly an addict. I am an addict, 15 years clean now, and I can't. |

from
what ive heard as well, it depends on the person. |

I NEVER smoked pot, but I loved smoking speed. It all depends on the person. Some people don't consider pot a 'drug' at all. I could sit in front of pot and never even wanna touch it, but it's a whole different game with speed. |

I
think marijuana can be as much of an exit drug as gateway drug,
but it is still an addiction and is altering the person's mental
state. |

Yes,
but imo would make it harder to quit/stay clean. |

... one signifigant risk is buying
pot from someone who also deals meth or who is in close
proximity to those who do. Many insist that pot has medicinal
qualities and has helped them get through early withdrawls, an
"exit drug". |

I don't like weed or alcohol all that much, but I smoked a little pot and drank a lot of booze at a wedding reception recently. It made me *REALLY* want to do a line 'just to sober up'. Suffice to say I won't be doing that again. |

I have to stay away from ALL drugs to recover - smoking pot would just send me crawling back to meth. Besides, I LIKE having a clear head! |

Re: Can a
person smoke pot and stay away from meth?
I
smoked pot for years before I ever even knew what meth was; I
grew to love it, over alcohol even (I was a college kid...it was
my party years). Since then, all the other drugs that I tried,
were only taken experimentally...never more than a couple of
times, and I never got hooked because I always compared the high
to the one that I knew and loved: kicked back, laughing, a
little silly, a little sleepy. So mostly, I didn't really even
care for any of the other buzzes, not even crack...until I did
meth, that is. But now that I'm thinking about a recovery plan,
I'm probably going to use pot as an "exit drug", and I don't
think that, if I do make it off this dope, pot will ever lead me
back to it. One, none of my pothead friends (most of my closest
friends) use meth or deal meth. And two, when I'm high from
smoking weed, I never really have an urge to hit my "other"
stash. |

Re: Can a

When you get right with yourself, you find you no longer want or need substances to change who you are. It is this way for me anyway. I like who I am now. I do not want, or need, to alter myself. Reality is good. There are a lot of other legal, and less harmful, ways to relax. Just my three cents worth. |

I've
had to do some serious thinking on this one. |

Re: Can a

I don't think so. My husband smokes Pot daily & when he does Meth, it makes him smoke more pot. Pot is a downer - Meth is an upper. I don't see how. I have heard that taking pain pills have helped some people stay off Meth though. But then again, who knows! It's all in the person doing it and what they want! |
