I think it's mostly a matter of us being on different wavelengths, as well as whatever other effects are going on that I'm not very aware of. (I'm not a pot virgin, but I don't do it more than a couple times a year and it doesn't affect me the way it does others)

Hip Lady (and others),
I'm not trying to get him to stop. I know that'd be his business if he wants to.

He himself has confessed to the psycological addictiveness pot, and talked about times "when it got real bad'.
And I'm not putting the blame on him. I can be a spaz myself. That's why I'm asking for help on how I can relate better.

That was for "Dangerous Dad."

Lol, Les Mom, yes, I have. I wish that were an easy answer, but as much as he is a pot-head, I am not. Don't like it, except rarely. I have to be very attentive to my inner voice and careful if I want to only smoke at times that it will be a good experience for me.

depends on what your problems are. My freshman best friend was a huge pot smoker, more or less an addict, and we got along really well.. Of course there are problems... especially motivation problems... getting them to do anything at any kind of a normal speed is riddiculous.... if it's just a matter of communication write things down. If you aren't a smoker and they are... and your problems are a friendship type... then it might not be possible to be friends with them, it's extremely hard to be friends with someone who's high all of the time and you're not. Just remember if you are roomates with them, high or not you deserve some respect... and you deserve to have your living space in whatever way you like. Make some ground rules, and don't back down from them. BUt try not to be too unreasonable, and don't be aggressive when you talk about them. Sit them down and say 'I need to have my living room clean so I can relax after work, and i was wondering if we could keep it tidier then it has been recently.' Don't attack them, and remember comprimise is always the key to whomever you live with.

I can't relate, most of the potheads I've known were extremely easy going, almost to a fault, and were very easy to get along with - even to manipulate into doing what you wanted. I had this one friend that would always come with me when I wanted to get food or just needed help cleaning up or whatever because he was just so out-of-it and in such a feel-good-haze.

Maybe you should try to get along better. Pot isn't addictive. I suspect you are blowing this out of proportion. Maybe you're the one who's hard to live with.

lots of munchies around the house and he'll love you. And pot really isn't addictive..... just stoners get lazy and don't like to go out and do much.... so don't try to make him do stuff.....

separate lives is the only thing that worked for me. i lived with one for 12 years. just do your life. don't ride on their roller coaster with them. le them lie around and eat when they are high and stuff. just keep doing your life.

as long as you don't do it then it is his or her problem. they will have to decide whether they want to quit. no matter what you say it won't make a difference
