Just weed eh? Take a look at Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. He started on weed, now his brain is totally addled. Another fine example of how harmless drugs are is Ozzy Osbourne. He probably thought he was lucid and had all the answers to the questions of the universe at the time he was smoking the stuff. Now he'd have a hard time telling anyone what day of the week it is.

Anyone who say's it's 'just weed' and that it's harmless is living in a dream world.

TELLULAH agony auntWow its just weed. Trouble is for the weak ones it doesnt just stay at weed. It makes you moody, bad tempered (when you cant get any that is) and you cant be bothered with anything. So yes its just weed, but look at the effect that it has. The only people who say that it's not adictive, are the bloody idiots smoking the stuff.

Waster's Sorry!

wow its just weed. u all act like he's shooting up heroin. but to answer your question, u can't change people. and if he doesn't want to stop, he's probably not going to. the only thing u need to ask yourself is if you can deal with it or not. that will help you realize if u can stay with him or if you need to find someone that the same interests that you do.

TELLULAH agony auntHoney thats just an excuse. We all have our problems.

Are you strong enough to leave him if he wont give up?, I may be wrong but I dont think he will give up no matter how much you plead with him. I'm affraid its like being hooked on anything, the user will deny he or she has a problem with it. I think that shock tactics may be the only thing he will listen too.

My son has a problem with this as well, but try as I might I have never been able to stop him.

I'll tell you what you do - you put as much distance as is humanly possible between this bloke and yourself, and thereafter you refer to him as your 'ex-boyfriend'.

If he has problems it's more than likely that they were caused by him smoking weed in the first place. Drugs do that to people. Do yourself a big favour and leave him in the dirt.

He's chosen his path in life, now it's time for you to choose yours - and if you're a sensible young lady it won't be the same one he's taken.

Maybe what you can do is first ask him to cut down. If he smokes a couple times a day ask then ask him to do it once a day, then every other day, and so on and so forth. You really can not tell him to stop or give him an ultimatum because that will just make the situation worse, so just ask him to cut down. And if he's not willing to make that sacrifice then maybe you and him need to revaluate the relationship.
