I feel stupid posting about pot the baby of all drugs on here everyone is talking about meth and all this hard shit, but anyway my x-boyfriend who is still my friend and who i love still has been smoking pot like 6 times a day for the past 3 weeks straight not missing a day. He use to smoke like 3 times a week but now its every day non stop he's ditching school, going to work stoned, he told me he just smokes because he's a sepressed person, i know that was hard for him to admitte i want to get him help to help him, but i have no dea how. I don't want to be a bitch and nag him about but he's really screwing things up in his life and i want to help, and please dont tell me to let it happen and for him to find out by himself i will do that if me trying to help does nothing.

your talkin about it like its a "bad" HEROIN ADDICTION,i mean come on its WEED,if he is screwin his life up because of weed HE has a PROB only a professional can help,

Ok, the only PHYSICAL damage it will do is if he keeps this up he will develop certain cancers like cigarette smokers get. As far as this "depression" he is in...I dont see how weed could fuck him up that bad, I think he needs a shrink or something if his life is going to shit and he is addicted to weed. In the immortal words of Bob Saget, "I used to suck dick for coke. You ever suck dick for weed?"
 
^^like i said it is WEED!!
listen i hope yer friend comes out ok ,but ITS WEED,how could you be addicted to it,YOU GEt STONED AND FALL ASLEEP/i laghed alot and got a lil euphoric but I SURE AS HEL WOULDNT LET MY life go to shit over WEED,(i wish i could change my BLUELIGHT NAME)..dammit
 
It might "just" be weed but it still sounds like a huge problem to me. He really does sound like he needs help though. Not "professional" help but I can't imagine what smoking 6 times a day would do to my life.
 
^^ so you would become a bum because of WEED??
com on people it has been posted that a GLASS of whine messis you up more than a joint of weed!!
weed is the "soft drug" of ALL CULTURES!!9as far as addiction potential)

Some people have addictive personalities, they may substitute gratification from food, television, working out, etc. for what is missing in their life. If you can be psychologically addicted to working out, I would bet the farm that it is theoretically possible to be psychologically addicted to marijuana.
If you really care about this guy just tell him what you feel the problem is, ask him if there is anything you can do for him, ask him if he wants you to make him an appointment to talk to someone who cares. However, it is his life and ultimately his decision.
Good luck.
 
hydro why dont you just shut the fuck up already? i bet your one of those people who think weed is harmless and all other drugs are evil? wake the fuck up, weed is a drug and jimmy butfuck can fuck his life up with weed just as much as joey dukes fucks his life up from smoking crack. is that too much for your little mind to comprehend?

I'm just saying if I had a friend who has a future ahead of him, I would be concerned if he was smoking weed 6 times a day. In my opinion, in most people, this is something that will change your life, and not for the better. I'm not saying bum. I'm saying supervisor-at-tacobell-for-life pothead.

The primary reason why a person's life gets fucked up from any drug is spending the money. Now, as weed is a cheap commodity, I wouldn't imagine anyone ruining their lives over it as someone could with crack or smack.
 
what are you talkin about weed is a SOFT DRUG!!
i think its harmless huh!!?..(the hell i do ,it consumes your MONEY)...therefore harmfull to me wallet,thats why i quit the shit(OH THE WITHDRAWAL IS KILLIN ME)

^^exactly!!!
 
hellfirewhatever, are you fucking seriuos? the primary way someone fucks up their life is spending all their money? Please tell me youre kidding, bc that is just a scary thought. You obviously havn't lived life yet. You will.
 
Jesus you are really worried about the wrong things. There are cultures where weed is smoked nearly constantly (some in Jamaica) and no serious health harms, except mild incidence of lung proglems, are observed. New JAMA study shows even long term heavy pot use has no permanent mental effect.
Some times in your life you just gotta smoke alota pot.
You should be more worried, and try to help him from being depressed. Depression is causing the drug without significant feedback so don't ask the drug people
 
And look at the high-paying jobs those Jamaican tribesmen hold. No one is denying weed keeps you from functioning but most potheads are fucking losers plain and simple.
For every biased study there is another study saying the exact opposite. Citing a study doesn't help your argument when it comes to something like this.
 
ayrios thats some bullshit. smoking weed everyday will not make someone into a goal-less loser with no hope for a future, rather people who already were doomed to that fate will smoke weed. next time you go to mcdonalds look at who works there and see how many of them look like stoners.
 
I can only speak from my personal experience. The full-fledged "potheads" I know aren't going anywhere. But of course there are exceptions.
 
Well, I know this is in the wrong forum, or whatever, and this turned into a bullshit debate about how many Rastafarians manage a Dairy Queen, or whatever, but I'll give you some advice.
A. I know it's easy for ME to say, but there is the option of forgetting about this guy's ass. He'll realize it when he's 23 and still bagging groceries.
B. Alternatly, you encourage (or force, whatever) him to get a job or take classes he CAN'T go to stoned. No more Ceramics or Food Service, haul his ass into a temp agency and have him get a 12 hour graveyard shift at some place with really fast-moving machinery. A printing press, or clothing factory should work pretty well.
C. Hide anything related to classic rock, Phish, The Spin Doctors, etc. Smash his car stereo if you have to.
D. If he's a vegetarian, start slipping meat into his food, or just hold a gun to his head and take him to KFC.
E. Show him the 1971 anti-drug filmstrip Marijuana, starring Sonny Bono. It's pretty laughable, but the mere sight of Sonny Bono in a silver lamë jumpsuit babbling about how we'll be living in moon colonies will make him gouge his eyes out, which makes it much harder to light a joint.

Look your post didn't need to be all Flamey dude, the key word was primary, and I didn't act all shitty about it. I do think in the end it boils down to the money, or health if youre not responsible of course. Like if you pawn all your shit for drugs, thats money, if you become a hooker for drugs, thats for money too. I personally have made my drug use only recreational recently, as I don't intend to screw up everything monetarily Or healthwise.
Though of course I will admit drugs can screw your mind up if you make it a common habit. I know, as have been there in the past. But if someone can afford to permanently change themselves chemically, and they like it, then I say let them do whatever they want. I quit smoking pot just to let it be known, because I prefer my sober mindframe. So it's not like I'm some pothead saying its not a drug, it is, I just don't think it's so bad.
 
My two cents....
pot can be just as serious as heroin if you let it overtake your life, as with any drug. Your ex sounds just like what I became..i had a 4.0 gpa in high school, went to a private uni on an academic scholarship, and within two years I had a 1.5 gpa and had lost my ride....
Short and sweet, i randomly roomed with a pothead freshmen year, hung with him for two years, and all I did was get stoned. No class, no studying..just girls, videogames, and weed. I was a living coma pretty much.....I finally put down the bong and after a year of city college i'm in a state school with my life back on track...I can say without any reservations that weed was the worst drug I ever encountered, and I had a 50mg oxy daily program going for 3 or 4 months...but at least I was fucking functional...
