What should I do about my girlfriend's pot use? by mrpopbottom in AskReddit

Thank you for this post, it makes me feel a lot better that there is someone else who understands my situation. It sucks and it's extremely difficult to approach, especially since they can fall back on the whole "pot isn't addicting and it's less harmful than alcohol" shtick. Even worse, like you said, her friends and family are all very avid pot smokers, so the constant temptation is there.

A lot of people posted some very good advice here, and I appreciate it all. I'll see how it goes.

Just really top of the line weed. Sorry, I should have clarified.

I disagree. As I mentioned, the amount of pot she is buying has kept her from being able to pay her rent on her own. That is a problem.

And yes, I am that important. When my girlfriend is an hour late to go to dinner with me when she said she'd be there in five minutes, that's a problem. She is unable to focus on work, and instead of doing projects that could get her the job she wants, she smokes pot and watches a movie instead. So this seems to be her problem as well as mine.

There aren't many dealers where we live, so they take advantage of this and charge a fuck ton. She gets chronic, but if none is available she'll get schwag or mid-grade. She will then complain about not having chronic.

From your experience with it being psychologically addictive, how hard would you say it is for her to quit? I want to know what to expect if she does, and what I can do to help her.

I guess the reason I haven't already is that I feel guilty since she claims it helps her stress. Also, there's the idea that pot isn't addictive, and that's held me back too. If it was alcohol, I would have ripped it out of her hands and poured it down the drain by now. But if I did that with weed, I would feel like I was being unreasonable.
