Question by Killer: my brother is addicted to weed?
I’ve been smoking weed every day for 2 years now, and I’m not addicted. but brother started last week and now he’s addicted! what should I do?

Best answer:

Answer by The Big E
If you have smoked weed every day for the last two years, you too are addicted whether you admit it to yourself and others or not. Insofar as your review of your brother’s weed smoking habit, that is especially not for you to be judging in light of the example you set for him. The blind are enviably not in a credible position to adequately lead the blind as both suffer the same impaired judgment before the process even begins. The greatest lies that hurt us most are the ones we tell ourselves.

Question by : Has anyone tried or known of somebody who tried going to sexual re-orientation therapy?
Hello. My parents have been researching alot about homosexuality and they’ve found “healing centers” that apparantly can cure a homosexual’s wounds and turn them straight. They believe homosexuality is a psychological disease that is the result of external factors such as sexual abuse, parents divorce, peer wounds etc. that took place during one’s childhood. My parents want me to go to one because they truly believe this will work. Q: Has anyone here went to one of know of someone who went to these therapy centers? How was it?

Best answer:

Answer by Clones Don’t Have 100k Pts
Such “therapy” doesn’t cure anything. All they do is teach you self-hate and to repress your true nature. And all that does is make you a miserable person. Sometimes people even commit suicide. As a result all major psychiatric organizations have denounced the use of such therapy.
