Is there anything he can do...to like, not do pot, like, chew gum or something...or something odd like that. Getting help by an adult is not an option. Please, any suggestions.

First off I will admit that I used to smoke pot a lot and I became really addicted. I recovered by doing something simple yet hard at the same time. Here is what I did~
I chewed gum all the time, yes it works but its not as succesful as some other things are. You need to keep yourself occupied. Weed is physicologically addicting. Physically any human can quit, but it makes your brain think you need it. Tell him that he needs to just not think about it. It is going to be hard but anyone can get through it.

If he really doesnt want to smoke it, he should stop. If he hangs out with a bunch of people who do, he needs to get enough courage to say no or stop hanging around those people so the temptation isn't there anymore. Go around with him and make him say to all his friends that smoke, "I want to quit pot, please dont offer me any or let me have any if I ask for some." That way the only access he'll have is if he grows it himself. [ rick505's advice column | Ask rick505 A Question ]
