Pot is one of my bigger "triggers"....I smoked pot for years and years, but I also did my pain pills with it. I also get my urine tested and MUST be 100% "clean" to maintain my "take at home" methadone. that means that I cannot even chance being in the same room as someone smoking pot.

I also feel that if someone is to the point where they cannot eat or keep down food, that there are some medical benefits to marijuana. I was so sick at one point...dropped down to 86 lbs and my Dr. put me on Marinol....at that time it saved my life. HOWEVER....I was not a mother at the time and cannot fathom watching Maya at her rambunctious 6 years of age and being that "stoned". Like anything....it's a very individual choice. I do think that when one is in "recovery"....and especially in the early stages of it...that pot is something to be avoided....Carol

Gee, Toosh, I was on the clinic here in Florida and smoked reefer for almost thirty years daily. That was the one thing that this particular facility did not test for. I was clean of all narcotics for three years and was allowed six take homes weekly and for the most part took it as prescribed. That in itself was not too amazing as after the first year it had little effect, or so I thought.

Yes reefer was a biggie for me, for I figured as long as I was not drinking or shooting dope I was OK. LOL. Yeah, that is the type of thinking that was prevalent with me. Well, not anymore. I do at least one meeting daily, also have a sponsor, joined a group and try to be active in the rooms and with other addicts and alcoholics. Well that is my story. God bless all of you fellow and fellowettes.

Respectfully:

William
