How do I get my husband to quit smoking pot?
February 17th, 2011
I’m a 22 yr old married woman with a beautiful 3 yr old son and my husband is a pothead. A jobless, unmotivated pothead. He says he’ll stop one day but he doesn’t make any effort. He doesn’t make an effort to find a job. He always makes me feel guilty about everything and turns everything around on me. I don’t know what to do. I want to help him because I love him but, I want to make the best environment for our child. Please help. – Christa

Say Quit or im leaving you
or you’ll call the cops
and tell him how its creating danger to your child.
did you know that a person in the same room as someone smoking pot can suffer just as bad as someone actually smoking it?
Sounds like he needs a good kick in the ass to me. You need to give him an ultimatum of either shape up and be a man or your leaving. You have to think about yourself and your child. If he’s not mature enough to do it you have to see past the love you have for him and move on. I’m sure he really doesn’t want you to leave so he will snap to it. Be cool though. He might have self esteem issues about himself or some thing and just might need a little support and motivation. Tell em to join the Marines
thats not a good situtation for you or your child. as i expect most will say leave him if he doesnt change his only holding you back. Its not safe for your child to be around a pot head and its unsafe for you. u deserve better
my boyfriend was the same, im not sure if what i did would work 4 you but you can only try
i told him im leavin and im not comin back until he has quit and i want a drug test to prove it (because i was sick of coping the bad moods when he hadnt had any and so on) and if he didnt quit then i obviously wasnt important to him so it wasnt worth me wastin anymore time with him
your case is a little bit harder as there is a young boy involved
just say to him has to leave or u will leave
or you could say your going to call the cops if he doesnt quiet
if all else false maybe you should leave its not a good place for a young boy to grow up in
hope all works out good
Sweetie… this guys issue is not the pot. He will always find a reason to be a bum. I know many pot smokers who are extremely motivated and do a great job managing a lifetime of responsibility and smoke a lot. They make good money, support their families, and you would never ever guess they smoke like they do.
The best environment for your child is one where Mommy can be the best that she can be and isn’t made to feel guilty because she puts her child first. I think you know what you must do and I think you are finding ways to avoid doing what you must do.
You are not in a healthy relationship and if you need to put your foot down, be prepared to stick with the stomp. No matter what happens, your son will respect you in the long run for standing up for you and for him.
Good luck to you. Lots of love that you find the path to the light you are looking for.
Its not really the marijuana thats making him an unemployed and unmotivated person. The marijuana has made it a personality most likely. It’s funny though, a lot of people smoke marijuana and you wouldn’t even suspect it. My father smokes marijuana and he works, pays his bills, looks after my sister.
Id draw the line and say “Either you stop smoking marijuana and jeopardizing my sons health or your out the door”.
Hope it helps!

Then i would strongly suggest – Hypnosis is the best way to help your husband to quit smoking quickly, easily and inexpensively.
If he still doesnt listen then threaten him emotionally
Look, marijuana may be exacerbating the situation, but it isn’t the cause. If you’re husband did quit smoking, he wouldn’t suddenly become motivated and employed. There are plenty of working professionals who smoke marijuana. I’m not saying that getting him to quit won’t help, but it’s won’t fix things. You may have just married a lazy guy.
I know you love him, but from your description of him, I can’t see why…
As previously stated it is him not the weed. A responsible person will accomplish what needs to be done and then smoke. You don’t need to get him off weed as much as you need him to pull his ass up by the bootstraps. I am a civil engineer who works on various large scale building projects. Would you want your building or septic system designed by someone high. NO!!! I wait until my day has wound down and it is time to relax, smoke a joint and watch TV. There is nothing wrong with him smoking away from the child as long as his responsibilities are finished.
You need to decide if you would hate yourself now for leaving him, or hate yourself later when your child has grown up around him as a role model. These are your decisions to make, you cannot force a user of any substance to stop unless they are willing. I hope the choice you make works out for the best, whether he changes if you threaten to leave or you find someone who is a better role model for your son.
