Marijuana de addiction
My father (51 years old) is a habitual marijuana smoker. He smokes it 4-5 times a week and it has made his body incredibly weak. He's been smoking it from past decade. He says that he wants to leave it too but the initial motivation lasts for only a week or two and then again he starts taking it. Is there any kind of medical treatment or medicine that can help him overcome this addiction?

Hi
You are worried about your fathers marijuana addiction. He has been smoking marijuana since a decade. Your father can consult a psychiatrist for medicine and psychologist for counselling sessions. It is important to know what is causing marijuana addiction. There are many reasons that trigger marijuana addiction. Your father can consult a psychiatrist and psychologist and explain about marijuana addiction in detail. If you are not able to convince your father to consult a psychiatrist and psychologist you can talk on his behalf.
It is important to know if anyone else in your family is aware of his addiction. It is also important to know about how your father gets along with his family.
I understand you are worried about your father. Try to be calm and positive and do take care of yourself.
