[QUOTE="pasajes4, post: 670262, member: 12856"] While weed makes them feel better temporarily, it is a depressant. Medication for depression will not work properly when weed is involved. Weed bought on the street is often laced with other drugs to intensify the high and to make it physically addictive. He needs a therapist and psychiatrist that deals with dual diagnoses (drugs/alcohol in addition to mental issues). Contact your county for a list of mental health providers. Contact NAMI ( national alliance for mental illness) and find out what they offer in your area. Find an ALANON meeting in your area and go to it with your husband. Cut off the use of cars, money, and any extras that you provide. Make sure he knows that while you will support his effort to get help, you will not provide him with the means to get his weed, and that as long as he is using, he will not drive a vehicle for his and others protection. Google James Lehman's Total Transformation. I found some it very helpful. I want to welcome you to our little corner of the world. Please read along and feel free to post when you feel/need to. This is a journey not a race. Take care of you mentally and physically. You matter. [/QUOTE]
