There's already a Narcotics Anonymous program, right? Why Marijuana Anonymous? Well, because pot is considered to be such a "lite" drug, because it's considered to be non-addictive and even considered to be almost healthy, a lot of people who are addicted to pot feel like they don't get what they need out of meetings geared toward "harder" drugs. In reality, you can be addicted to anything; people can use anything to try to fill that hole inside themselves. I've never been to MA, but my sponsor started out there and she is a total wise insightful genius with a ton of recovery - so it must be good. More information can be found at
