How Much Does As Average Uk Cannabis User Smoke?

[EDDIE51]

I have said on here that my daughter is a 'weed' user. I am trying to get an idea as to how she compares with other users. She gets through 4 £20 'deals' a week so £80 a week.
She says that it is a normal amount! I would like any opinion as to if that is near correct or not.

Hans....what I really meant was that Eddies Doctor might be able to suggest ways that Eddie could help in a general way.

[ummmm]

My ex is a weed smoker but he'd never put his want to smoke above his children and bills.

His habit probably costs £40 a week...but he can afford it.

Your daughter needs help!!

EDDIE I am thinking you know the answer to your question.......I have no advice, but daughter or no daughter, I know what I would be doing about it but its not for me to give you advice.....

[mikey4444]

Ummm is right...she needs help, and as long as you are going to support her drug habit, she is never going to seek help, is she ?

A fiendishly difficult problem Eddie, I would agree but perhaps its now time to cruel to be kind.

Point taken mikey.

£80 a week in bob ain't normal by any stretch.

[ummmm]

Hans?

I think Hans was replying to Mikey @ 15.49.

I can't really add anything more to what has been said, you know that as long as you facilitate her habit she will continue as she is.

She needs to lead the change and you can help her, she could start by a strict tapering off regime.

[woofgang]

Mamya...its sounds like she doesn’t want to......

[Mamyalynne]

Ultimatum time sounds like the only way then.

I suspect Eddie and Mrs Eddie know the route they may well have to go down, a long and unpleasant one.

Tough Love, is just that.
Can understand why they aren't willing due to the love for their grand-children..
(Maybe I'm being presumptuous, maybe they have already tried that route?)

[fender62]

she needs to ditch it, it's a very bad habit and the people that go with it, as iv seen over the years, paranoi low self esteem, only happy in same group of smokers..all fair weather friends though, does she have a job, i have found hard work to most gratifying and sense of worth within.

As others have said Eddie that is a lot of ganga. £80 worth a week is enough to knock Bob Marley out. Before you ask, no I don't, but yes I have.

[woofgang]

if it was me, I would be doing it BECAUSE I love my grandchildren :( but it would still hurt.

[HansUrbancka]

ummmm......As Mamyalynne has said......I was replying to the 15.49 posting from mikey.

I really can't see letting the grandkids go hungry . She is a single mum. The father of her 3 kids was a drug dealer and she had sex with him to pay for free dope. A girl 6 and twin boys 5. I am biased but they really are the most loving caring and beautiful kids anyone could wish for. Every time they see me they run up , give me a cuddle and tell me they love me. I don't give her money but buy food instead.

[Mamyalynne]

Of course you wouldn't see such lovely children go hungry - are you saying she would?

If so, how long can you go on doing this?

Sorry if that's harsh.

[murraymints]

and what happens when you are not around/able to afford it ? not easy Eddie but by doing that you are empowering her to do gear ! it will only get worse...she needs to accept responsibility for her own children..sooner rather than later , for the good of everyone...

[woofgang]

If th children were taken from her, would you be able to take care of them?
