I wouldn't worry about it to much.
Because you are an adult. The doctor has no right to tell your mother anything without your permission.
If he does he is in vialoation of HIPPA regulations and you have grounds for a law suit.
This is the practical side of it.

But I agree with a lot of the other posts.
If you are not addicted I would say then don't use it any more.
There has to be something in your subconcesion that says to smoke it.
That is known as addiction.

I am sincerely curious to know how much one has to smoke for it to become an addiction? Is it like if you only smoke so much you'll never develope an addiction since that only developes with heavy use? Or is it that this light weight use can't be labeled an addiction because addicts use daily?

The reason I ask is it seems to me that for many people it does not appear as an addiction until they attempt to quit, and fail repeatedly. And I have heard those people say some stuff very similar to what you are saying here ....

They also say things like "Oh I can quit anytime, I just don't want to" or "An addiction is what my friend is doing....see how much worse xxx is - I am not that bad."

There is something called "binge" addiction. People don't have to do it everyday.. people dont have to do it every month.. but as long as they "do it" they are considered an addict.
Most people can not stop on their own. I am not saying that it has never been done, but it is unlikely that it can be done alone. This person may be able to take advantage of "out patient detox" and no one would ever have to know about it. The OP is an adult and no one can see his files. Even going to NA meetings may be a help.
But any one that does any drug more than one time is considered an addict.

An addict is someone who is physiologically dependent on a substance.

If you have tried a drug once or twice or even 3 times that does NOT mean you are an addict.

It does not matter how much, or what you use, to be an addict is when your use creates problems and interfers in your life. Denial of that problem is the reason most addicts cannot seek help on their own, and must be desperate before they seek change.

Maybe that was too harsh. What I am trying to say that if, back in the day, you took a few drugs and stopped, then of course you are not an addict,..... But if a person is in the process of doing a drug once in a while and haven't stopped then medically they are considered an addict.
The words you used "tried" vs "trying" is the differance, I guess.
Thank you for pointing that out to me. It was too harsh and I did not explain binge" addiction" well.
Maybe some one else could help me out and do a better job of explaining it.

I think isabelle is trying to say that if doing a drug over and over again shows dependency, no matter the timeframe between uses? Not sure if I said that right.

isabelle

Thanks Sentra.. sometimes it is hard to explain things when we can not see an affect or a tone of voice. Typing is kinnda flat and sometimes things don't come out as I mean them.
