My boyfriend smokes weed and it really bothers me. I know it's HIS life and I shouldn't tell him what to do, but I don't want him to mess up his life. I know people say ciggs are worse then weed, but weed can still give you cancer. I don't want him to die I just want him to STOP doing drugs so I don't always have to worry about him. What can I say and do to help him stop smoking weed?
i'd stop talking to him for however long it takes for him to realize that your not, and once he does call you, that would be the perfect time to let it all out, because thats when he's going to listen. [ god-smusgrove's advice column | Ask god-smusgrove A Question ]

Dumbblond1chick answered Friday August 11 2006, 9:05 pm: i just love these types of questions...im in the same circumastances only difference is that i did something about it. Alot of people in my town do drugs and i would be lying if i sed i never tried it but the difference is i dont DO em i just tried. My boyfriend did weed and i told him that i dont want to see him high. Its juts it means less when you kiss i want him to be smarter then that and so he doesnt do drugs before or when hes with me. The effect of this is that he stoped doing it as much and now that he knows it botehr me he hardly does it. The rest isnt really a girlfriends control. I suggest you tell him it botehrs you and see how he reacts. If you want further advice just ask. [ Dumbblond1chick's advice column | Ask Dumbblond1chick A Question ]
babiigirl answered Friday August 11 2006, 8:46 pm: Weed is alot worse then ciggs. If ciggs were worse then weed. Weed would be the behind the counter at store not ciggs.
hes your boyfriend so you should be able to talk to him and have him listen to you. Yea your right he doesnt have to change for anyone. But neither do you. Tell him that your worried for him & to please not smoke weed. He might get upset but anyone that does drugs isnt going to be happy about it. The most you can do is talk to him about it.
If he just up & say no. Then if hes not going to change you dont have to put up with it. You dont like when guys do drugs. You dont have to start liking it for him.
FrEe2bMe answered Friday August 11 2006, 5:50 pm: You can't change a person. They'll only change when they trully want to--for themselves. Yes, you are right it is his life--but you are now a part of it so you DO have a right to voice your opinions and concerns. Especially if he does it around you or in front of you--he is putting you at risk. That's not fair. Instead of telling him what it's doing to him (he knows) why don't you tell him how it upsets you, worries you, and makes you feel uncomfortable. If he has any wits about him he'll 1. stop doing it around you and 2. try to stop for himself. Rather than bicker, explain. It is more effective. It might touch him more. Also, if you really can't stand it and he isn't willing to even compromise, try giving him only one option. But just remember, be sincere. :) [ FrEe2bMe's advice column | Ask FrEe2bMe A Question ]
LadyJade answered Friday August 11 2006, 5:43 pm: I'm going through the exact same thing. Let me tell you-it's hard.
You need to tell him how you feel about it. Tell him that you care about him but it really hurts you to see him messing up his life smoking weed and the bottom line is that he CAN get cancer.
It's important that you let know you'll love him either way.
ductape_n_roses answered Friday August 11 2006, 5:12 pm: weed is worse then ciggarets. First of all, it's illegal substance and it's amisdemenor I believe.
you should go to ydoyouthink.com and look for the facts they give you about smoking. I'm sure that weed has worse affects than ciggs do. tell it to him.
tell him that you're gonna have to leave him unless he stops the drug use. tell him that those illegal substance is ruining you relationship and that you're worried about him. [ ductape_n_roses's advice column | Ask ductape_n_roses A Question ]
