hey so one of my buddies who is very important to me has become addicted to a few drugs. He's addicted to cannabis, coke, and cigarettees; the biggest issue of them being cocaine.

How do I help him with his cocaine addiction? He's started getting verbally agressive towards me over stimulants i have on hand that I don't use that he wants, and over other things. I know its just his addiction causing him issues and its only going to get worse. He's spending a huge portion of his money on drugs and is getting stressed out about it to the point where he's treating the people close to him like shit when he cant get drugs from them.

He's important enough to me to genuinely want to help him for many reasons.

How do I help an addict? I would seriously appreciate opinion on this subject, a life given to drugs if a life wasted. Cannabis a drug only when you are recreationally using 3g of weed a day on top of a lot of coke (I honestly can't quantify it but his dealer just keeps bringing it over so he keeps buying it), many cigarettes, and alcohol. But I also believe cannabis is a fantastic medicine; but in this specific case it has no medicinal purpose he's wasting his money on it. Pretty much all of his money is going towards substance use and he's also now getting stressed as shit about money..

Please help /:

Nothing you can do unless HE wants the change. Most people have to learn the hard way unfortunately, I know I did. All you can do is aim him in the right direction. He has to do it him self.

Guess I'll be getting some DE in the near future! I have a friend that burnt his gals up and it made me wary, after hearing this info, I have ac and exhaust , I think I'd be OK :) DE fucking rock gardens out I swear it's amazing

He ran out of room, and nowhere to expand on the tent...

And he's got no AC, just actively venting the shit out of the tent lol.

His plants look great, considering...

What in the fuck is DE?

And gemu not sure what to say, there's no convincing a person to quit the things they are up to. I'd do my best to let him know you don't condone his actions and that if he keeps them up you may not be able to be as close, while making sure he knows you will always be there if he ever wants to straiten out.

My only other thought is offering to go to an NA meeting with him.

Good luck to you and your friend.

Jig, DE is a double ended hps lamp. It plugs into each side like a t5 I think. I don't have one, but they can be controlled from 400w to 1150w. Sooooo much more powerful /overall better than a normal hps. Extra pounds legit :)

GemuGrows, like jig said, it's tough, but him know how you feel. I bet no one has confronted him about it before, so it may catch him off guard, but he also may feel grateful if he realized his addiction. If he doesn't realize his addiction, then it's a different ball game. Bless vibes man. Good luck and I hope you come out on top

Like everyone has already said, he has to want help. Talk to him
see if he will go to a NA meeting but he probably will not.
I hope he isn't privy to too much of your life (coke addicts are notorious
snitches and thieves).
We detoxed a friend by locking him in and providing unlimited weed
and company for 2 weeks but he wanted to quit. If not tell him he's
on his own, coke isn't the toughest to shake but nothing is easy to quit.
Good luck.
:peace:

I finally bought a grow tent. Grow lab 145, 4'9"x4'9" with eye hortilux 1000w hps, phantom 2 digital ballast, and a reflector big enough/good enough to cover a "5x5" space. . I also have a great 600w hps setup just sitting around that i might add to my grow in the winter.

I'm hoping to yield 2lbs off a 25sqf cannopy in all organic. Wish me luck friends!

As far as my addict buddy, I reached out to a lot of friends about his issue and he's pissed at me. He's literally my best friend and I care about him a shitload and he's pissed at me. If I turned my phone on i'd probably have like 12 unread texts from him about what I "did" trying to help him. Life..

Oh well. I'm sure it will all turn out for the best, most things honestly generally do...

Some of the things he said to me literally made me cry, how verbally agressive he was towards me. He's a very defensive individual so convincing him he has a problem will be tough.

I care a lot about this buddy and I just want him to be happy and producitive, and drugs are taking that away from him...

Thanks for dealing with my shit 600w club, easily one of the best clubs on the internet.

I'll upload some pics of my grow soon, i'm finally pretty happy about what i'm producing (: I'm easily one of the most knowledgeable/best growers in this state at 21 years old, and this grow will finally prove it (although i've been producing some of the best quality marijuana in this state since my first grow). I'm hoping for at least 800g.. My current plants are all organic, nothing but healthy ass greeeeeen. Its fun to look at even though I only smoke like 3g a month
