Question by Russell Mania: If pot is so bad and ruins peoples lives, then how come you don’t see any pot heads on the Intervention show?
I see people on their that do hard drugs like coke, crack, and heroin. I also see the Alcoholics, and see how drinking completely destroys their lives. If pot is as bad as people say it is, how come you don’t see any pot heads on that show. You even she Alcholics on their, but no pot heads.

Question by Sick kstarnt: What’s the worst habit to kick (drugs)?
I guess this is a 2 part question…what is the hardest/most dangerous to kick/what has the worst withdrawl.

I know the obvious answer people would go with is heroin but after watching a documentary, I feel like it’s alcohol. This guy was drinking up to 3 pints of vodka daily. They did a backround on him and told his story whatever and he really seemed like a nice guy. After getting tests to see how bad the damage was, he agreed to go to a 90 day program. They made it seem all good and promising, but the whole thing ended with them saying “He died 17 days into detox”.

This is my opinion:
Most dangerous to kick: alcohol>benzodiazepines>opiates>crack and all the others

Worst withdrawl: opiates>alcohol>crack>benzos and all the others

What are your opinions?
