Question
My 19 yr old son had be growing and smoking pot regularlly.
probably other drugs that I do not know about also.
I had sent him to school away from his drug friends in Canada to give him a fresh start away from his friends in Detroit area.  He did not have and pot or anything for awhile but how tells me that he is hooked on codean.  Really likes the high.  What are the systems of codean adition?  He nevered has worked and spends much of his time not dealing with his proble.

What happens with codean addition?

Answer
Hello chriss,

Drug addiction is a disease and cannot be cured by sending him into another environment.
