^ 2 up. Nonsense. FYI, I too worked as a drug counselor at one time. Some people just like it, the same way they might like a glass of wine after dinner. While there are people who have a hard time giving up a consistent pleasure, they are not physiologically addicted. I quit in the late 80s because the woman I was with didn't enjoy it and it wasn't something we could do together. That's all. After we broke up, I just never picked up the habit again. It wasn't a struggle, or a big deal. I had just moved on and wasn't interested in intoxicants. You grow up and your interests change. It happens.

I found it is just easier to move on and find someone else. Make sure that the next person is completely drug and/or alcohol free. People try to minimize their dependance on drugs and alcohol. When someone does not use drugs or alcohol at all, there is nothing for them to hide, and nothing for you to fight about.

If he has to quit smoking weed to "save our relationship", it's doomed already. You prefer an unhappy sober person to a happy buzzed one. He's better off without you!

Desperately hanging on to youthful vices for fear of getting old without a crutch to lean on, me thinks.

Weed is just as addictive as cigarettes or other drugs, despite what a lot of people say - this person is having a hard time because they have a habit. Might be easier for you to just go already if you're not willing to work through this with them...

I smoked pot regularly for about 24yrs. I had women threaten to leave and let them leave. I quit when I felt I was damn good and ready. Have always held good paying jobs, never been fired from a job and never been arrested. You CAN have a vice and not it completely control you. When I quit I laid my pipe down many years ago and haven't picked it up again since.

I think there needs to be a compromise if YOU want to save your relationship. I dont think it's fair to put all the change on one person. Sometimes things change with time, maybe after you have children he will stp, maybe he won't. why not put some restriction on the use, like don't smoke when we go to my parent house(though he may need it the most then)or Like smoking only on weekends or something...why does it bother you so much? If it were heroin or Meth then they would need to quit completly. Do you drink alcohol? Do you do something they he hates that you do, maybe you could compromise? relationships take COMPROMISE. You need to give a little if you want it to work. You are not blessed with an easy realtionship you have to work if you want it. Everything can't just be your way, he will resent you.

So your saying he/she got rid of all the pipes except one, well that to me shows effort and you have to at least give credit for that. Whats easy for you is not for someone else if you love someone you will forgive and tolerate, if you can't then move on and go look for your nonexistent perfect mate someone else. Good Luck with that.

Pot is not addictive. There is a difference between being addicted to a substance, and just plain liking a substance. The only reason I don't smoke weed is because I have a reason to not smoke weed. Otherwise I would smoke every day and twice on Sunday. Also, just because you found a pipe doesn't mean a thing, I make the best McGiver water bottle pipe anywhere in about three minutes - or - I used to. Good luck.

Pot IS addicting, you moron. And, if it wasn't then people could just Stop, and they can't. ANYTHING in this world can be addicting. I work as an addiction and rehab counselor, so you shouldn't talk about things unless you KNOW- and you don't. Some people have the ability to just stop- some don't.

^ 1 up. It CAN BE (not is) a psychological addiction. It certainly is not a physical addiction. Get it right, counselor.

Why? Because smoking weed is more important to them than a relationship with you. I don't personally have a problem with weed, but if you do, then it's time to find a new lover. One who is weed-free.

Marijuana is good for you, and makes people calm and relaxed. If you have a problem with your partner being clam and relaxed, due to your ignorance and brain washing about marijuana, you should reevaluate your own issues.

Looks like "morons" 3 - including 1 counselor and counselors 1 excluding 1 counselor. I have determined that the morons are winning. Is it possible that the name calling counselor believes that convincing everyone that they are possibly addicted to "anything" will ensure his own job security?
