Would it be awful of me to give my mother weed so she doesn't drink?!


Question: Would it be awful of me to give my mother weed so she doesn't drink!?
Alright, well, my mother is an alcoholic!.
She started drinking when my dad left about 2 years ago,
she suffers from depression and gets chronic headaches that nothing helps!.
Her liver has been messed up since she was a kid, so drinking is even worse than normal!.

Marijuana would help all of these; she'd calm down, be happier, and pain-free, and wouldn't be killing herself slowly!.
I have weed (I smoke regularly) and have mentioned to her that it would be much better for her!. She's seriously considering it, and has done her research!. Plus, she's a stay-at-home mom, so there wouldn't be a problem there!.

What do you think!? Should I help my mother start smoking marijuana so she won't drink!?

And please don't lecture me about how it's illegal, or how it's "stupid" or anything!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well
it will not hurt her liver!
I don't see what you have to lose by trying!.

AA sure wont help, see the orange papers http://www!.orange-papers!.org/
A!.A!. and N!.A!. have at least 90% failure rates!. And the real numbers are more like 95% or 98% or 100% failure rates!. It depends on who is doing the counting, how they are counting, and what they are counting or measuring!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your Mom definitely needs help, and while marijuana would be better for her than alcohol given her preexisting liver problem, she still needs to work through the root issues that are fueling her drinking problem so she can be happy without drugs!.
That said, marijuana is not addictive!. It's a much safer drug than alcohol (just make sure she doesn't take up tobacco smoking) and in my opinion if pot will make her stop drinking, it's worth making the switch!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes i think that would be a very good idea!. It would help with the headaches and is not as bad for her health!. If she is not happy it would also make her enjoy herself more and you don't wake up in the morning feeling like ****!. If you live in a medical marijuana state she should think about getting a card!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think a Divorce support group would be real helpful for your MOM!.

Divorce and alcohol can easily cause depression!. Alcohol and a bad liver can cause headaches, among other things!.

But A group of folks with similar "pains" can do wonders!.

Wouldn't you hate to turn her on to pot, and three years later find all she needed was an understanding peer!?!.

So try a divorce recovery workshop or support group, be there for her no matter what she does!.

You can find party friends for yourself in other ways!.

ok i dont smoke weed, but im not against it or anything!.
first i want to say that im very sorry what has happened in your family, and can kind of relate, a little!.
i think your mother needs some counseling really!.
marijuana is not going to solve the problem, she will feel better, but for a little bit!.
maybe you should try some counseling, or just even you talking to her about it!.
but if it doesnt work, then just go for the weed haha
:) hope i helped a littleWww@Answer-Health@Com

That's just a really stupid idea!.

Your mother should seek the help of medical professionals, not your plant that you have no idea where it comes from or what it's laced with!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think it is a perfectly good idea!. People actually do start smoking marijuana to stop their alcohol problems!. As a toker myself I would say go for it!Www@Answer-Health@Com

my mommy is an alcoholic to:( give her some only if she stops drinkingWww@Answer-Health@Com

yeah that is kinda dodgy to be honest!. Uh!.!.!. I think maybe you should try seeking out professional help though first, and then try and force her into religion (doesn't usually have as bad side effects as weed but she could be way more annoying) and then if all else fails try and use it as a large resort!. you wouldn't give a crack head exctasy to try and get it off them - one thing leading to another and there is more chance or relapse!. so good luck with it all!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You want to help your mother recover from drugs by giving her more drugs!? Sorry that is a bad idea!. You don't want to get her hooked on something that can be harmful to her health!. As far as I know marijuana is only used for poor eye sight and that is only prescribed by the doctor!. Now I will tell you something that is common sense!. Tell your mother to get help from a counselor!. She doesn't need to be hooked on a drug that can hurt her anymore than she already is!. Getting a drug counselor or having her sign up for addiction classes will help!. She needs treatments and therapy!. Don't give her drugs!. She needs professional help, not more chemicals that tear the body down!.

Edit: And the thing about weed is that it gives you a false temporary high!. It does not solve the problems!. What would happen if you can't get anymore weed!? Then you or your mother would suffer from withdrawal which can be deadly at times!. Just don't do it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
