X100!!! An intervention for WEED!?!?!? Your boy needs a good wake up call/slap across the face! He's got no self control, and considering he's 27 years old, jobless and living at home with his mom, I take it she supports his $%!... She needs to give him an ultimatum. Get your life on track or ****!!
Dude's life ruined cuz of weed?
BTW. I know what you're going through cuz I have a buddy that sits at home alll day every day smokin weed and playing video games/gambling poker online. Smartest kid we went to high school with. Had a free ride to UMASS Amherst... Blew it all away. Now all he thinks about is XBOX and Poker while smokin weed all day.... LAZY PEICE OF %%!$ is what I tell him he is.... He tells me he knows he is.
It's all up to the person to get their priorities straight.
All you did was
a) laugh at my friend
b) admit you have a friend who is in the same situation
c) give the most generic and obvious advice one can give on the matter

Didn't you say that you've seen people go in the opposite direction? So how can you say it isn't addicting?
the issue at hand is self control ... not addiction ... if these same people were given 1 million to stop smoking today they would and do iteasily ... if you did that to an "addict" they would try but couldnt without serious help ...

I get what you're saying but
a) not all weedheads are the same
and
b) your scenario is unrealistic
It might be obvious that one would give up weed for a million bucks, but that simply does not happen. I can't intervene with a million dollar reward. Ifanything, he had a GREAT life...90k job, a LOT of savings, lived at home (not because he couldn't afford it, but for other noble reasons), his girlfriendwas cool with him living at home. He had the "million dollars", and slowly threw it away.
Also, he has no SELF CONTROL because he's ADDICTED. That's basically it. You can't expect everyone else to operate on your level.

I, my friends, his now ex-girlfriend, and mother have all attempted to snap him out of it. It hasn't worked, and he's been like this forover a year. Maybe he's depressed, maybe he needs hypno-therapy, who knows. Without question, he needs help.

Theres a deeper rooted problem thats making him smoke weed in the first place. Weed like any other drug is used to escape so really talk use some mind gamesand get him to break down about what really the problem is.

a) of course not, but thats an entirely different issue altogether ... you have to look at the deeper issue at hand ... why did he feel it was OKto give everything up? maybe its because he has the luxury of an affluent family? maybe the same reason why he is able to keep up with his"addiction" now?
b) million bucks = something they value ... not in a literal sense ... dude may have had "everything in the world" according to you, but not to him... he was looking for something more ...
why cant i expect a relatively intelligent human being to make a conscience decision to stop smoking weed? hes not addicted to weed you cant be addicted toweed ... im telling you you just cant ... you may be able to smoke it everyday because something/someone allows you to, but your friend can put it downtomorrow with no ill effects and go about his day ...
now if this was cocaine or heroin etc... etc... then things would be different ... but if its only weed then this mental "addiction" is simply amatter of him making hi smind up to stop/someone cutting off his source

no omo
all i got to say is, i dont know you or anything about you, but my man, you are a good friend. Just the fact that this been happening little bit over a yearnow and you still havent given up on your friend... thats just wow. Most people would of drop him already from there lives. Hope you get him back were he was,dont give up!
in my personal experience... when i had a friend that was an addict.. (wasnt MJ) i cut him off my life.. but thats a long story. Hope urs have happier ending.

Physically? No. Psychologically? Yes. YOU may be able to go about a day without using, but he can't, and not because of a physical need.I'm not talking about users as a whole, nor is this a legal vs. illegal debate. My friend is at the center of the discussion, so speaking in general termsis of no use.

That doesn't sound like weed bruh
Coke or Heroin. Most likely coke.
Maybe somebody laced his weed.

Isn't that what an intervention is?
youre completely missing my point ... if you snatched your friend up tomorrow, kidnapped and locked him in your room for a day ... hed be fineaside from the "%!+" aspect of it ... if your friend was "addicted" to coke, and you did the same, he wouldnt last without proper care andquite possibly could committ suicide ...
im focusing on the ABILITY of the individual to stop ... alcoholics, heroin addicts. coke addicts etc... all need outside help, they cant just cold turkey itand expect to get better ... your friend needs nothing but a kick in the *** and a want to

Still cant over the fact that he *+!* his pants because he smoked too much weed. Something else is going on here.
