Let him know that you smoke pot and talk to him about responsible drug use, but don't advocate it. If he wants to try it he will come to you.

It might help, but it also might make his problems worse. I'd say a real doctor is probably called for in this situation.
But, hey, once he's 18, I say smoke that kid up. I told my sister I'd roll her a fat blunt on her 18th birthday, and I intend to keep that promise.

No.
I think very few 15-year-olds are mature enough to handle most drugs responsibly - and it doesn't sound like your little brother is, unfortunately.
Also, pot doesn't really have any potential to help those problems.
Some people may disagree with me here, but I think psychedelics are another story altogether - if he ever expressed an interest in taking LSD for instance, I wouldn't hesitate to gently introduce him to the substance.

It could possibly help, or it could hurt him.
Chances are it might be more helpful to just try and talk with him and be there for him, letting him know that you understand that he has a hard time with things and that you are there for him. Introducing a family member to drugs can later on strain your relationship. Either he could start blaming you for his problems, or you could end up feeling really guilty if his drug use ever grew into a full blown addiction...my dad introduced me to crack(I know a bit of a different situation) but it's just weird using drugs with someone you look up to/family member

Why don't you bring him to a therapist and see what is causing his problem instead of pushing drugs on the kid.
Sure pot could help but it sounds like your kid brother is pretty irresponsible so I doubt he would handle it too well. Especially since weed and video games go so damn well together.

^lol, I could never play video games high, they just get so damn boring, though I think thats pretty much just me
nah, weed can't change people completely, I doubt that there is anything you can do, I'd try taking him on camping trips and shit, try to get him in tune with the outdoors, then a little bit of weed might come in handy for getting him to slow down and observe the beauty of nature
