Answer by AlJo
Meth, like many drugs, can be in powder form.

Drug users at concealing their habits. Many don’t want to walk around in clubs with pipes and butane lighters or spoons and straws. So they use things that everyone carries to get their drugs into them. A common item is a key, any key. They dip the key into the powder. Some powder gets caught in the edges of the key and they snort it off the key. Beats snorting off a dirty toilet seat.

See if there is a Nar-Anon group meeting near where you live and see if you can get help from others who also love someone with a drug problem.

if you go to rehab with a drug problem, do you get in trouble with the law?

Question by Keeli: if you go to rehab with a drug problem, do you get in trouble with the law?
like instead of going to jail or something, or would you do both.
just wondering.

Answer by mike1942f
It is not illegal to go into rehab or even to say you have used drugs – the police have to catch you with drugs or paraphernalia or DUI, etc. to do legal stuff. However, going into rehab may catch the eye of child protective services if you have kids.

Court ordered drug testing problem.?

Question by Circle Jerk: Court ordered drug testing problem.?
I was very recently busted for possession and have court ordered drug testing, I’ve heard that it takes 40 days for marijuana to leave your system if you were a heavy smoker, which i was. The problem is I took a piss test today, and have to take another in 13 days to “determine if I have a problem with drug abuse.” I have stopped smoking entirely and don’t want to lose my chance at a diversion, what am I supposed to do?

Best answer:

Answer by Lynn
Stay clean and show up for testing when you’re supposed to, with no excuses. The people who administer and read the tests are well aware of how long the drug remains in your system.

Is K2 a problem in La Crescent?

Is K2 a problem in La Crescent?
She had heard about K2 but knew nothing of it. She really wasn’t concerned until it was brought to her attention. Then she started reading up on it. The more she learned, the more she realized K2 wasn’t something to take lightly.

How do I go about solving this statistics problem?

I am not asking for the answer to this problem. I would just like to know how to go about solving it. I have a TI-83 plus calculator (I know this problem requires the use of a calculator in order to perform the test), so it would be helpful if you could refer to that or a similar calculator. Once again, I am not asking for the answer and am not trying to have others do my homework for me. I truly want to learn how to do this. Thank you for your help.

An experiment was conducted to test the effects of alcohol. The errors were recorded in a test of visual and motor skills for a treatment group of people who drank ethanol and another group given a placebo. The results are shown in the accompanying table. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the two groups come from populations with the same mean. Do these results support the common belief that drinking is hazardous for drivers, pilots, ship captains, and so on?

Treatment group:
n1=22
x1=4.20
s1=2.20

Placebo Group
n2=22
x2=1.71
s2=0.72

How to help a friend with a drinking problem?

My friend has a drinking problem. He is in complete denial that this is a problem. I have known him for over 20 years and I really want him to see what he is doing to himself. He thinks that because he doesn’t drink every day it is not a problem. He drinks 4 or 5 days a week and some times disappears on drinking binges. I don’t know how to help him see what he’s doing to himself. He has been ordered by court in the past to alcohol treatment but sees it as a punishment forced for no good reason. I live in northeast Illinois, does anyone know of a good treatment program to help him see what he’s doing to himself?

If my baby’s dad won’t get treatments for his alcohol problem, will there be a chance I can get full custody?

My baby’s dad is an alcoholic and I know his liver is damage from his drinking, not only that I got an PFA on him for his abuse on me. I don’t want to hurt him with the baby I just want the courts to help me to order him to get treatments for his alcohol, depression and there is a chance that he is bi-polar. He is not ready to be a dad but he did watch my other son, while I worked on the weekends. The only bad side is he left my son home alone so he can go to the bar to drink and that is when the abuse started. I had to come home from work and did not make money because of his drinking. I want him to have supervised visitations because he will drink if he does not have his visitations supervise and with his drinking he will not be able to care for our baby. I going to file full sole custody of the baby next month so when the baby is born my attorney can schedule a hearing date for custody. Should I file child support in the baby’s dad’s condition. He has threaten suicide on me.

Question about relatives IN-DENIAL about their drug/alcohol problem?

I have a relative who thinks his drinking/weed smoking is ok. WELL, maybe so; but, he was arrested and has to go to court-ordered classes. He keeps testing dirty for weed and they are threatening him with JAIL and/or in-patient treatment.
QUESTION: If he didn’t have a problem, couldn’t he have PUT ALL THAT DOWN until he finished his court case?
the arrest was for possession during a traffic stop.

I have a drinking problem and its ruining a marriage with an amazing and forgiving husband.?

I have been married since my senior year of high school….four years later, I love him more than I ever thought possible. I could never see myself with anyone else, ever. He’s my best friend. He has had my back and been there for support since day one. But for the past year and a half I have come to realize I am either and alcoholic or a girl who needs counseling and needs to back of the alcohol all together until I am sure I know who I am. For now I am so far lost its rediculous. I don’t know who I am and I am never happy-ever. I have low self esteem and I am angry quiet a bit, for no reason that I can think of. I was arrested for demestic battery, I was drunk to the point that I don’t even remember most of the night. I called the police on myself when I hit him. I am a nasty and angry drunk. I am ashamed of myself for who I seem to be at this time in my life. I have a beautiful life a beautiful husband and daughter. I don’t have health insurance, but I am trying my hardest to get help, example, aa, even though it is mandatory bc I am ROR….I am really trying for more than just a signature at the end of a meeting….I want to make my husband proud, everything that I just described about myself is not what my husband deserves, its the first time I have been arrested for anything….and will be my last (not a nice place-no joke) But its not the first time I have been drunk to the point of becoming a whole different person. This is the screw up that I always repeat….I’m wanting to ask opinions…..advice….I love my husband with all of my heart, I don’t know if this was my ‘last chance’ to save our marriage….I might have really done it this time. I plan on getting better truly and honestly I do and I know its going to be one of the hardest things that I will have to commit to, but I don’t know what the future is going to be, I don’t know for a fact if I wont mess up again, should I leave my husband even if he doesnt want the marriage over? I really do love him enough to let him go….I don’t want to hurt him anymore….he never deserved it…..I dont even have faith in myself anymore, I wanna be a better me, my own family doesnt want me and for godsake…why is my husband still here with open arms to help me and love me….I am so confused…….

I have an annoying problem that requires attention.?

Okay, I have problem that is really getting on my nerves and at this point I’m getting really sick and tired of it. I have an alchoholic dad. This problem have been with me since as long as I can remember. What should I do? I’ve tried everything. I tried talking to him (when he’s sober), I yelled at him thinking that If I expressed my anger towards him about his drinking that he might think twice about ever drinking again. That didn’t work. I also tried to ignore him but every time I do, it just makes it worse because I’m afraid that he might commit suicide when I’m working and he’s alone in the house. I also tried telling him that if he goes to an alcoholic anonymous program it might help him by not drinking ever again. But still, that didn’t work either. I’m seriously running out of ideas on what to do with him. I’m thinking of just running away or something with the rest of my family but again I’m afraid he might do something stupid if you know what I’m mean. What should I do?

would you force (court order ) your child under 21 with a heroin/crack problem into rehab ?

First off i know you cant make a person want to quit or get help .But there has to be a limit to where as a parent we wanna prevent our children from hitting that rock bottom .i seen a man on a show today say he wont have his 19 year old crackheroinn addicted daughter committedd because it would hurt him and sh would be mad at him. Screw that for me not EVERYONE if the child is that you legal age or not im gonna let them hate me and do what has to be done.what would you do ? Not saying one way is wrong verses another way .
Just a side note a person over 18 can legally placed in rehab by a parent spouse or family member if the person is declared incompatent or a harm to them selves or others or if in the majority of cases there is an underling of self medicating for something like a Dual diagnosis occurs when someone has both a mental disorder and an alcohol or drug problem.
SK its easier to get drugs in prison than on the streets its more profitable..
