Thank you so much for everyones input. I never knew marijuana caused so many problems. I do plan on getting my degree and leaving him, right now it's just hard to get through especially being out of school for the summer. We do have kids, just not together but they have no idea about the pot, my daughter just knows that dad is mean to mom some times. She's 12 and we talk a lot, so I really think she would say something if she knew. I just hate finding it in my house and cars. When I do I throw it away. Again thank you.

My husband smokes to and he is the same way it is normal for someone who smokes the green. So my advice is the same i gave myself you do your thing and let him do his if he ends up in the gutter oh well at least you will have your degree and what will he have? A habit that he can't afford and no one who really cares.

My advice would be to leave him. I am assuming you don't have any kids.
The mood swings are normal, and could be a symptom of excess drug use or could be a symptom of another problem. He may or may not be capable of doing something dangerous to you, but if his use of marijuana continues the same way there is no future for you and him together.
You should discuss this with a parent, a pastor or a friend you can trust. You should also be very honest with yourself and how you feel. There are many things to consider. Will you be able to continue in school? Is he at all interested in stopping? How much do you love him and how much does he love you? There is no one simple answer, but I would definitely consider leaving him even if it is only temporarily until he can straighten out his life.
Good luck.

Ok my ex was just like your husband and let me tell you he did get moody and although statistic show that marijuanna is not addictive it is pyscollogiacally addictve and if there isnt a fix for the day they get moody and angry. It also could be that you are so much around oneanother right now because you dont work and are going to school. If you think he has a major problem ask him to get help. There are many places that can treat him or test him for mental impairment,and anger control issues.

One effect pot has is making the person have manic depressive like mood swings. Often, they can become violent. For example, the son of a woman I used to date, once tried to stab her with a knife after he started smoking pot.
Don't be fooled by the drug dealers who lie about pot. It's actually quite dangerous to use. I've seen it cause everything from depression to schizophrenia (I worked community mental health for a number of years) and alot of violent episodes in people. It's the number one drug people seek treatment for addiction for. There are alot of people who are mentally ill or live a criminal lifestyle, solely because of pot. Since this sort of thing is widespread, people who say differently are just liars.

Yes, mood swings, and other abnormal things will occur if he doesn't get help to prevent them. My ex even got to the point of not being able to do anything in the bedroom. He had to start using other things to take care of that, but it was with someone else. So, do what you can to have him stop, but take care of yourself and kids if there are any first and foremost.

Get pot head to get a job and stop fogging up his brain to escape the reality of life. Moody...?? Hey have you considered leaving him? Lots of people work and go to school full time. Get your priorities straight..."smoker" is not doing you any favors.

Your husband is a true pot-head and obviously addicted
Tell him to get some help or you will be finishing school and seeking a divorce attorney
