    Is my boyfriend addicted to pot?
    I've been together with my boyfriend for a year, and pot has been a major issue between us. I don't like the idea of him smoking at all. I've tried it a couple times, but it just made me depressed. I never want to smoke it and I wish that my boyfriend would stop. I've told him I want him to at least cut back, but he hasn't really succeeded. He used to do it every day for a while before, and he stopped for a while after that. But then when summer came and I had to go away from the U.S. he started smoking and drinking a lot (that is what he told me). He says he can quit pot if I told him that I want him to, but he likes it a lot and doesn't see anything wrong with it so he would keep on doing it unless I tell him to stop. He tried to stop before, but couldn't because all his friends smoke pot almost all the time, and so he feels as if he would be a douche if he doesn't smoke with them. He also said that he doesn't feel it as much as he used to, and that worried me. He says he can quit, but I doubt that he can since his friends all do, plus he's in a band and all and he wans to become a musician so... do you think he could be addicted? Or is he starting to get there? I'm not really sure...

    Pot isn't an addictive substance. I'd say he's doing it because his friends are. It is something one can grow out of.

    If he cares about you, give him an ultimatum. If he doesn't stop then you stop seeing or he can talk to professional.

    Kwidal, is your boyfriend smoking pot effecting your relationship at all? (besides the fact you don't like him doing it) Ask yourself why you want him to quit. If you want him to quit just because you don't like the thought of him holding a bong up to his face and rippin the shiit out of it.. well then that's just selfish. It would be like him telling you to stop hangin out with your best friend just because he thinks she's a biitch. But if him smoking pot is really effecting your relationship in other ways than I'm with you. Some people who smoke pot can carry completley normal lives. Others for some reason simply cannot. Thank God I was.. built to smoke™
    The reson your BF does not feel pot as much is because he has built up an immunity (I think that's the word I'm looking for). Building up an immunity sucks balls because it costs more money to get high. But if money is not an issue then took on brotha
