Help, My Sister Has a Drug Addiction to K2/Spice!?

Question by Amber Cowboys: Help, my sister has a drug addiction to K2/Spice!?
I have two sisters and a brother. My sisters moved into an apartment together. My older sister hung out with her friends everyday and ignored our family. We found out she addicted to Spice. It really wasn’t bad then.
Then my sisters upgraded to a real house (renting). My older sister was obsessed with Spice and all she did was sleep then eat dinner. No lunch or breakfast, either. Always with friends. It really hurts my feelings it’s like she don’t give a s*** about ANYONE besides friends & Spice. She’s 21 we can’t just not let hang out with her friends or smoke Spice.
I’m their lil sister and a lot younger than them. I used to spend the night at their house. Now my mom won’t let me now that she smokes that stuff. The younger sister that moved in with her is really independent unlike the older one. My older sister didn’t pay her 1/2 of the bills. She stole my younger sisters credit card and took $ 50 out of the bank.
My older sister is trying to quit Spice so my young sister wanted to help her by having her move back into my moms house. Well no word about we thought she just quit because she threw away her bowl. She moved in about the middle of October. It’s now December and everyone is saying that we think she might do “it” ocaztionally…
It’s now December and my mom walked in on her and took the Spice away from her.
My mom was trying to forget about it until the holidays were over. Later that day my mom was boiling up and talked to her; then yelling. I didn’t even know that my mom walked in on her smoking it. Or the talking/yelling. I watching tv and heard screaming and my sister saying, “Mom, get off of me!”. Then my mom saying, “I raised you better than this!”. I heard the rest of the story. My mom was throwing stuff at her and threw a box fan at her. Then the tv almost landed on her.
I feel like my family is crazy. You know how my mom said she raised my sister better than that, my moms mom raised her better throw a tv and fan at her!
