How do I get my boyfriend to stop smoking weed? -

How do I get my boyfriend to stop smoking weed? -

Ive been with him for almost 2 and a half years, and hes only started smoking weed recently. Its cigarettes all over again. He started smoking cigarettes because all of his friends did and claimed he only smoked with them.. then he said he only smoked at parties.. and that turned into weekends.. which turned into a bad habit of smoking every single day.

You see, all of his friends smoke medical marijuana and are always trying to convince him how its not bad and how it helps all of them. So hes become obsessed with learning every single little fact he can about every drug. I think its great that he-s so knowledgeable on the subject, but its led him to start smoking weed because he says its not bad like everything else. He likes the way he feels high so hes been doing it more and more often.

He knows I hate it. Ive always tolerated it with our friends, but the fact that hes doing it is making want to jump off the deep end! He simply turns to his friends for advice about it and they encourage him to -deal- with me and he shouldn-t let me try to -change- him. Yet theyre the ones changing him! He used to be so against smoking anything. Now hes become the biggest hypocrite of all.

I can-t stand sitting back and watching this addiction grow. Im also afraid he-ll move on to other drugs..what can I do?dont worry its just a phase, everyone is smoking pot right now,try to offer him something else he values more instead of getting high as a substitute like if he doesnt smoke for a week you-ll do something for him or you can try negative reinforcement like refusing to do things if he smokes but overall I wouldnt worry too much.You don-t. Let it grow!tell him if he really loves you he should see someone for help.I think you should tell him that you just hate who he becomes when he-s on it. That you like the sober him, not the high him.

Honestly ranting about him getting -addicted- will get you know where. Mostly because it is not an addictive substance, it-s just enjoyable and entertaining so people like to do it a lot(for the same reason people watch TV or play video games a lot).Like most relationships, the first thing you should do is just tell him how you feel. Tell him that his smoking makes you uncomfortable, and that you don-t like him being high--or whatever you really feel. No matter what, don-t make the whole thing about him. I mean, if he-s smoking with friends, then he-s obviously feeling pressure.

If you-re totally sure he knows this is about you being uncomfortable, and not about him doing something -wrong-, and he still doesn-t seem to care, leave him. You don-t need anyone who doesn-t care about how you feel.

If he-s just feeling pressured by friends, though, then stick by him, and tell him you-ll help him out of it. After that, it-s pretty much his choice.

Good luck. I know how this is. :)

/-3Your boyfriend is a pot-head, it isn-t the end of the world. I know it can be annoying, but its not a dangerous drug or anything. It definitely doesn-t mean he-s going to move on to other drugs. It-s better than having a drinking problem, that-s for sure. I don-t know how old you guys are, but weed can make teenage guys grow breasts. Scaring him out of it is the only way he might quit smoking so much.get rid o himYou should just start smoking with him. You would probably enjoy it very much. It is not as bad as people want you to believe it is. Danger wise, it is much safer than alcohol. Give it a try before you make a decision.find a new boy friend. why ask any one to change. you need to find someone you can accept how they are.
