Getting Help
If you or someone you care for is dependent on not only marijuana but alcohol or other drugs and needs treatment, it is important to know that no single treatment approach is appropriate for all individuals. Finding the right treatment program involves careful consideration of such things as the setting, length of care, philosophical approach and you or the user's needs. There are also facilities made just for marijuana addicts Treatments for marijuana dependence were much the same as therapies for other drug abuse problems. These include behavioral therapies, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, multisystemic therapy, and individual and group counseling. If someone you know does have a problem with marijuana, seek help for this person either by confronting them about it, going to their parents, or talking to someone close to the person.

Consequences
Trouble With Parents
Consequences of marijuana involving parents can last up until the day you move out. Parents may lose trust in you and will most likely place stricter rules on you, including things such as hanging out with your friends, what friends you hang out with, your curfew, and what activities you do.
Criminal Consequences
If you are caught selling, growing, or just in possession of marijuana it can be classified as a misdemeanor or felony in some states. Some of these charges are not much but do go on your permanent record for any future employers to see.
Other Consequences
Other consequences can include anything from your health, friends, or even your career. Marijuana is often referred to as the gateway drug. This means that when you use marijuana, it can lead you to extremely harmful and addicting drugs. 90% of heroin users had used marijuana before they did heroin. Even larger consequences are placed when using these types of drugs.

Distribution
Getting Away With it
Marijuana can be distributed almost anywhere. There are many different ways a person can distribute this drug. People may hide it away in some kind of container and sell that to a customer, giving no indication of the drug deal. Some of these containers could be anything from vehicles to chap stick. Using these types of methods, marijuana can be sold and bought in places someone would not expect.
Different Ingredients
Whenever someone receives a drug they had bought, they have no idea where it has been or where it came from. The drug could be passed down from 10 other people. In this case, it can be possible that from each person that had the drug before would take some of the drug and then add some of their own ingredients to make it the same value it was before. Therefore, you can't always tell what exactly is in the drug.
Unsafe Distribution
Planning to sell or buy the drug from someone they don't know can put them in danger. If a fair negotiation is not met between the buyer and seller it can turn out to be a disaster. In this case, a fight could easily break out resulting in either injury or maybe even death.
