I know exactly how you feel, I was in a very similar situation. I remember that I was so nervous at that time and I took it out on everyone around me. I didnt know what could I do until, thanks god, I found Smoke Deter. Now I can look back and laugh on myself and in the same time I remember how helpless I was. I hope that I'll never be in the same situation again
First of all, smoking weed isn’t a huge problem… it does cause damage to the lungs, as any smoke does, but THC has actually been shown to inhibit tumor growth… so no cancer… and some of the smartest people I know(we’re talkin 90%s in everything at the university level) are pretty big stoners…. I’ve never seen or felt any signs that it has any negative cognitive effects.
Secondly, weed doesn’t give you a physical addiction… your body won’t develop a dependence on it. It can create a mental addiction, but that is fairly easily broken as others have said, a little extra fun in the sack might be just what the doctor ordered. Pavlovian positive re-enforcement is a great way to go about this. For each day he doesn’t smoke, offer a reward, if he falls off the bandwagon, don’t offer him the reward, but no punishment either… the more upset a person is, the more likely they are to smoke up.
That being said, weed is not a dangerous drug, look up the BBC documentary "Is Alcohol worse than Ecstasy?" and you’ll see a ranking of the top-20 worst drugs, weed falls in behind booze and cigarettes. If the smoking aspect is what concerns you, there are several ways of consuming marijuana without smoking it… baking it into brownies is the classic, you can make a drink with boiling milk, or you can make green dragon, which is basically weed soaked in high proof alcohol for a month… after that, each shot is the equivalent of a joint, so there’s little alcohol consumption, and no smoking…
Stopping cold turkey isn’t even that hard, unless he’s formed a heavy mental addiction, which is pretty rare.
Honestly booty lockdown, I know it sounds stupid but it works,
Refuse to hang out with him, or "do anything" with him unless he stops,
And guy’s say they stop but they can still continue
Smoking weed is a bad habit
turn him into an alcoholic.
offer him "something better". wink wink
Actually, it is pretty easy, as marijuana is not addictive. All you need to do is help him keep his mind occupied, so while the first person suggested "booty lockdown," that will probably have the opposite effect, in that it will stress him out, making him want to smoke weed more.
Suck it up and do some of the things you know he loves, but you may hate. Don’t smother him with affection, but try to keep him active and busy.
i myself have had a pot problem . in the past. 11 years i tried evey thing to stop but nothing worked. you see it’s very hard when you can get it. if your older move town state if you have to.i did and now don’t smoke it .
or he needs to go to rehab it is a very hard addition to nip in the butt.
good luck!
Sweetie weed is considered a not so serious drug but it is VERY ADDICTING. It’s the THC in it that makes it that way. However if someone really wants to stop and is serious then they will do it on there own. Not from you "helping them". Its a hard thing to do when your addicted. I recommend NA meetings, addiction books(self help), and any healthy addiction he can substitute for the bad one. All you can do is support him by letting him know when he’s doing good. That’s it, don’t want it more than him and dont have any expectations. I have alot of experience with this. Let him do the work.
its called growing up…
show him that theres funner things than passing a joint around and getting stoned. i’m not him so i dont know his hobbies but obviously you could find things that he has a hobby for and do it with him to take his mind off it. maybe get him into a sport or gym, i dont know, but eventualy after learning how cool life can be without a stick of dope and a bong, it wont seem that appealing anymore. dont treat it like a situation where you say "DONT DO IT" but more of a "try this instead
" also expose him to the dangers of weed. marijuanna can cause mental problems like depression and anxiety and is one of the top links to testicular cancer. maybe it will make him think "whoah why the hell was i doing this to my body? especialy when i can have the same fun doing something that is good for me!" that how i got rid of the stuff, n ive never felt better.
i hope it helps mate
Weed is NOT addictive. This is a proven fact. He just has a habit, like biting his fingernails.
If he really loves you, he can stop like that. (I just snapped my fingers)
Now he’s drinking. Now, that is addictive!!! (Duh, right?)
I think you need to give him an ultimatum and mean it. If he doesn’t clean up his act for you, do you really see a future with this guy? He sounds kinda selfish to me. Tell him you’ve read up on weed, and that he can quit cold turkey with no problem! Have him cool it on the drinking on too.
If you break up with, that might be all it takes, if you really want to stay with him. He might be a great guy……
Good luck and be smart!
