### 1/5 — Outdated and offensive to marijuana users

*2025-11-14*

I found this to be extremely offensive to the 420 community, please update the information on marijuana

### 1/5 — Really?

*2018-08-04*

This is one of the worst recovery apps I have come across. Useless.

### 1/5 — Too little or even inaccurate information

*2016-09-07, version 2.2.5*

There are very few included drugs or drug-related terms in the app to be useful, the definitions are far too short to be useful and the information is often inaccurate. It is written like people tried to write something of the top of their heads for a middle-school project, rather than information to be relied upon for the public...

And this is a joke if it is to be considered for use by health care providers. There's little to no scientific information in any definition, and this app actually perpetuates myths that MHCPs and addictions workers are trying to end.

### 1/5 — Absolute trash

*2015-09-01, version 2.2.5*

The people that made this app are completely ill informed on every single thing here. Do not use this for anything but a good laugh

### 1/5 — I wish I didn't have to give it a star at all.

*2015-06-07*

This app will tell you ignorant lies. When it stated that a poison(alcohol) can have medical benefits when it accounts for well over 50,000 deaths due to cancer in the United States every year and a natural herb(cannabis sativa) that has been used medically for thousands of years has no medical use I immediately knew the creators of this app are very uneducated and lack any knowledge of the medical history of the United States prior to the 1930's political corruption leading to the failed war on natural medicine(cannabis)... I mean drugs.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2015-03-17, version 2.2.5*

Delete!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2015-03-12, version 2.2.5*

This app is great! Very helpful

### 2/5 — Eh

*2015-02-14*

I was hoping for more helpful addition support. This app simply provides information on individual drugs and the concept of addiction but does not provide means of support. Information is good but as an addiction professional who suffered from addiction to cocaine and heroin for many years and has now been clean 7 years 8 months 2 weeks 3 days I was hoping to give this app to patients and people new to recovery but do not see the potential for its use.

### 1/5 — Ugh

*2015-01-18, version 2.2.5*

Really. A little research would be nice. Marijuana has been proven to relieve nausea, insomnia, depression, eating disorders. I could go on.

### 1/5 — Booo

*2015-01-12, version 2.2.5*

Why a canabis Leaf as your icon? A reference drug addiction app should be represented by something toxic (like a booze bottle) shame on you... Your karma is screwed....goddamn irresponsible doctors... hypocrite.
