Honey, I smoke marijuana every day and i don't act like that at all. I know this is your family and I am loath to say anything bad about your brother, but I think that maybe perhaps he has some serious issues that he needs to deal with, and that he is using the 'holy smoke,' to hide from those issues. What you are describing is abuse to himself. Sit down with your brother and see if you can get him to open up as to what's really going on. It could be the peers that he is associating with also. I am the oldest and my family and I have our problems, but if my brother were to ever say anything like that, wither of them for that matter, I would use my authority to put them back in their place and lay down the law. If I belong to a cult, than the only person is myself.

I couldn't say that it was a good thing to be your brother. It sounds like he is crass and doesn't care about anyone but himself.
However, all anyone has to do is examine the word 'cult' to see that it could apply to just about anything. So yes, according to the definition of 'cult' in the dictionary, everyone is in a cult.
Cult
–noun
1. a particular system of religious worship, esp. with reference to its rites and ceremonies.
2. an instance of great veneration of a person, ideal, or thing, esp. as manifested by a body of admirers: the physical fitness cult.
3. the object of such devotion.
4. a group or sect bound together by veneration of the same thing, person, ideal, etc.
5. Sociology. a group having a sacred ideology and a set of rites centering around their sacred symbols.
6. a religion or sect considered to be false, unorthodox, or extremist, with members often living outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader.
7. the members of such a religion or sect.
8. any system for treating human sickness that originated by a person usually claiming to have sole insight into the nature of disease, and that employs methods regarded as unorthodox or unscientific.
–adjective
9. of or pertaining to a cult.
10. of, for, or attracting a small group of devotees: a cult movie.
[Origin: 1610–20; < L cultus habitation, tilling, refinement, worship, equiv. to cul-, var. s. of colere to inhabit, till, worship + -tus suffix of v. action]
Like many words and terms used here on R&S, it has become an insult word, a negative word. But as you see, the word allows meanings which are not so awful.

Perception is what people determine to be their reality. No one has the same perception of life except through similarities. Therefor you live in the world you create by the views you can or can't agree with. Henceforth what you value makes you who you are... So this brings me to a question "Who's opinion do you value more yours, or your brothers?"

I've smoked pot for over 20 years and beleive me, it will never have that effect on anyone unless they already have a severe mental health disorder, or they are on a much harder drug! I think your brother is just being a typical brother and spinning one on you. Spin it right back at him with something weirder and more sinister. lol

Sex is fantastic, between two consenting adults, who use protection. But, there is more to life than sex.
I believe you need a better mentor. Try someone in the neighborhood, that you respect, if your dad is not available.

dont blame the marijuana. blame your brothers misperception. the Herb gets too much bad publicity these days anyway. marijuana doesnt magically make crazy people sane, but it doesnt magically make sane people crazy either. he sounds like he could use a nice cold shower and some coffee though...

Your brother will probably end up in a cult himself pretty soon. Unfortunately, it won't be a girl attending to his sexual needs but that albino guy.

Your brother has his head stuck up his *** and is a total moron to boot. Don't listen to a single word the pothead has to say.
