Mar-anon Tuesdays

Mar-anon

Welcome to Mar-Anon Many times we have heard: “It’s just pot – what’s the problem?” Confusion and self-doubt ensue. We spin between the belief that marijuana is harmless and our own conviction that something is wrong in our relationship with a habitual user. We can feel isolated. We can even feel like we are going crazy. We in Mar-Anon understand. Although many think it less serious than other drugs or alcohol, marijuana is a mind and mood-altering drug that can be addictive for some people. For those who seek recovery from marijuana abuse, there is a 12-Step program – Marijuana Anonymous. For friends and families whose lives are affected by a loved one’s marijuana use, there is Mar-Anon. Mar-Anon Logo-small Like any addictive behavior, habitual marijuana use has an impact that extends beyond the user. In Mar-Anon, we seek to recover from the effects of this family disease by learning about addiction and co-dependency; taking responsibility for our own lives; and by sharing experience, strength and hope with one another. The only requirement for membership in Mar-Anon is that a person be affected by another’s marijuana use. Dealing with someone’s addiction can be a painful struggle but it also creates opportunity. While we have found that we cannot change others, we can transform ourselves and create more serenity, clarity, and happiness in our lives.

Should I Drug Test My Child?

Should I drug test, My child?

Parents are unprepared for this new era of industrialized THC and the expanding drug culture. In this webinar, Laura Mangum, Resilience Coach, and Author from I Cope 2 Hope, provides families with information about whether to drug test their children or not.

Then, Aburee Adams, Director of Every Brain Matters and former host mom for youth in recovery, gives families a plan of action on what to do if their child has a positive test.

Involuntary Commitment to Treatment Can Help your Loved Ones Recover from Cannabis-Induced Psychosis

For at least the last 5 years, we have seen a significant increase in the number of young people experiencing psychotic-like features after using cannabis in its various forms. Psychosis makes it difficult for parents to rationalize with their young adult children about their need for treatment. That’s where the court system can help.

Joe Considine has practiced law in South Florida since 1983. His practice focuses on addiction-related law, including the Marchman Act and family law. He works extensively with families whose loved ones have substance abuse and mental health problems and has handled hundreds of Marchman Act cases in various circuits in Florida. Joe is committed to educating mental health professionals, the legal community, and the public about the efficacy of the Marchman Act. He has presented to conferences of mental health professionals, treatment centers, and civic organizations. He has also written many articles about the Marchman Act, which are easily accessible at JoeConsidineLaw.com.

In addition to leading a well-regarded law practice, Joe has served on the Board of Directors of The Fern House in West Palm Beach, a residential rehabilitation facility for indigent men with substance use disorders, for more than 25 years. He also enjoys assisting and participating with the Max Planck Institute for Neuroscience as a member of its Brain Trust. A native of Palm Beach County, Joe currently lives in West Palm Beach, has three adult children, and loves painting, mountain biking, and tending to his butterfly garden.
