Answer by Good Guy
The rehabiltation process for people on crack is 99 % county jail the poor that suffer from drug dependency are normally turned down at drug rehabilitation centers due to lack of insurance.

I have seen many women and men screwed up from this drug it is destroying preachers,Lawyers,Docotrs and primarily the poorest of the poor that have given up it seem to be the only thing that makes them happen .

Hopefully our government with pressure states to utilize Marajuana as an alternative and lower THC levels and make it where people can get away from this expensive and horrible habit I truly pity those that have this addiction and wish them while it is something that when people start it very few have the ability to not do it more than just ocasionally .

Check out myfooddiary.com. Yes, you do need to pay for it (after the free first week), but it’s only 9 dollars/month. AND it’s absolutely amazing! You’re able to research foods, exercises, and anything you want with the addition of the site actually personalizing the food and exercises you as an individual would need to do to lose the exact weight you want.
Pretty much what you would need to do is simply input your physical info once, then start inputting the specific food (what the food is and the brand) you eat everyday. Then, at the end of the day, it tells you how many calories, sugars, etc. that you’ve had that day, how many you should have, what you might want to add or subtract from your diet, and what you should try doing tomorrow. It basically just teaches you what to do along the way. It’s a really great cite, and not at ALL expensive.
