Point out to him (when he's sober) everything he's missing when he's high. Mention the cost. Mention the illegality of it. Tell him that it's pushing you away. If he cares deeply enough for you, he will respect you enough to quit it.

I'm sorry to hear that, it is not going to be easy if you can do it at all. My roomie is pretty much living out of state with his cousin and smokes a lot. Well, he's losing his house because he isn't paying the mortgage. He hates his job but won't stop so he can apply for a new one as so many do drug tests. He keeps telling me he's stopping, but hasn't. Unfortunately, there isn't much you're going to be able to do unless he actually wants to stop. Good luck to you.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. You have recieved some excellent suggestions about telling him why he should quit. However, HE has to be the one to make that final decision and only because he seriously does want to quit. I know it sounds harsh, but it's the truth.
I think it's great that you're wanting to help him quit. Continue to support him if he decides to break the habit. Hang tough and hopefully this will pan out.

If he doesn't want to quit he just won't. Even if he does quit, if he's an addict the behaviour will still be there even after the pot is gone (irritability, depression, etc.). If he IS indeed wanting to quit I agree that rehab is a good option. If he isn't ready to quit it's a good time to wave in your rearview mirror.

Well poison ivy cant get u high if u smoke it.
If he wanted to quit he would do it. You cant become physically addicted to weed...only mentally.
He probably wont stop if he hasnt already.

you propose an interesting point with the ivy, however. he's going to quit when he's ready. i for one smoke weed, but i can afford it and my financial responsibilities are still being met. i'm a great guy, smart, funny, etc. it isn't going to kill me. but, its only going to happen if he's ready. if you tell him not to do it, he'll do it behind your back and then lie about it. i know this from experience.

Sounds like an addiction. Plus as long as he can afford it and does not want to give it up completely, you're on a lost case, sorry... put up with it of find another man.

This is my relationship with my boyfriend. He smokes and I hate it. He's even on probation and he still does it. I get so damn mad whe he does but tonight I finally said "you kno what...your the one who's doing it and your the one who if you get caught, your going back to jail, not me!"
It makes me sick and hun...I've heard the "oh I've cut back" excuse sooo often. or "i'm gonna get clean" If he's really gonna do it, it's going to be for him...not you. There is no way to make him stop unlless he's really ready.

Change boyfriend !
That's the only cure for your worries, and if he cares at all, he might wake up.
