How do I get my friend to stop smoking weed?

He is addicted to it, he has done it every day during the summer and its ruining his life and mine. His girlfriend really wants him to stop but she is afraid of saying anything because she thinks it will ruin their relationship if she says something. He knows she wants him to quit too but he doesn’t think anything of it. He says that he needs her to say something to him to get him to quit. She wont threaten him because she is literally in love with him. What can I do to help?

    You can’t do anything besides make your friend angry. He’s a pothead. He’ll grow out of it eventually. Just be glad he’s not smoking crack.

    Mind your own business. His smoking weed isn’t hurting anyone, it’s his choice.

    Smoking weed is not necessarily bad for you (I do it all the time),however in the rare instances when a person does get emotionally dependent on marijuana, it can affect that person and their loved ones negatively.

    I wouldn’t suggest he quit altogether. As I said, there is nothing really wrong with it, however it IS important to use in moderation and to use reponsibly (much like a person who enjoys a glass of wine during dinner and drinks occassionally and someone who is an alcoholic).

    I would suggest to him that he start smoking only once a day. And then only a few times a week. Once he breaks down his habit, it will be easier to control, but won’t be as hard to say no because he is still doing it . . . just not as much!

    If he needs her to say something to get him to quit then she needs to say something! Again, I don’t think he should quit altogether. At least not right now. If he wants to then that’s fine, but it has to be his decision. Have his girlfriend explain to him how it affects her and that she would like to see him use it less.

    Shes a coward probably will be abused in later relationships

    Weed is wonderful, has NO addictive properties, but abuse is bad.

    Tell him that if he smokes to much weed will no longer work and hell have to spend WAY more money and smoke much more, its more likely to cause cancer, so he should bake or vaporize it (at least make a water bong out of a bottle)

    Tell her to tell him to cut down to getting high 3 times a week it can be any time during the week and he can smoke as much has he wants in those time periods, this will reduce the “lazy fuck” aditude he has developed. And save him money.

    Weed isn’t going to ruin his life or yours..
    bad choices will.
    To each their own..and if you are going to be so judgemental you just may lose a friend.
    Like the other guy said.. be lucky hes not smoking crack or shooting meth..
    Weed is natural.. its put on earth as a resource.
