Don't be around people who smoke weed. Make new friends who are sober.

No you're not the only person. My brother smokes weed and has smoked it for over 25 years. Yet when he comes to visit my parents and me he respects us by going out to the garage and toking up in there. I used to smoke pot for 18 years, so I know the smell very well. I don't smoke it anymore (quit 20 years ago). In the past when I've come home all I have to do smell it in the hallway and I know that somebody is getting stoned.
I'm in total agreement with Bill N. Plus everybody is giving you some very good advice. They are telling you to get away from those people and meet people who are not into drugs of any kind. Get a new group of friends. You are not making a mountain out of a molehill, because this is important to you and you need to do what is right for you.

So why are you around all these people who smoke it then? Find new friends... BUT I do think you could be making it a bigger deal than it is... Everyone gets to choose how they live thier life. Nobody is making you smoke it , are they? Just don't feel as though you have the right to make them stop because you don't like it... They could be relying on much worse things for their "needs"...

smoking pot is a really bad habit for a number of reasons. it's good that you feel this way about it
1) It's illegal. Some argue that it shouldnt be, but it is. To do it you must become comfortable with habitually breaking the law - also a very bad habit
2) It's expensive
3) It impairs short term memory, you really lose your edge mentally
4) It makes you tired and lazy.
5) It makes you paranoid. Some of these fears, like getting busted, are quite rational. Pot makes these concerns even more unpleasent
6) It strains realtionships with your parents, who quite legitimately worry what the full bill for the habit will be
7) It undermines your confidence, having to sneak around, because what you're doing is illegal
8) It impairs your ability to handle any dangerous equipment for a signifigant period of time after using, driving in particular
9) ever looked at the end of a roach, or the upper inside of a bong? how can putting that gunk in your lungs be good for you? surprisingly, the heavy pot use of the late 1970s didnt result in a medical disaster for that generation - yet. but it still goes against common sense

nop
trust me there is people out there that get pretty upset about that
just yesterday I got into a huge argument with a guy I know about drugs.
he thinks is ok to use them as long as you are not an addict, I believe is just stupid to do them and the smell of mariguana is the nastiest of all the smells out there.
I had told him before that I dont want to know when he goes out to get high, and he knows it, but he still wants to talk about it
Another thing, he kept saying that if I was so against drugs then how come I would take medications when I get sick, if those are drugs.
well the deal is I am against them, I hate it when people talk about them like is most awesome thing in the world.

Why are you around those that smoke weed so much, especially if it bothers you? Just don't be around them. I can't imagine not having the choice of being around them, or not being around them. Any environment that you're in where there are people smoking weed, should be an environment that you would easily be able to leave.

I think if you feel this way, you should find a new group of friends/associates to hang out with.

Then don't hang around people who do it. Find some teetotaler friends and be happy.
