Hi Guys,

I need some feedback from you.
I'm a non-smoker myself but I have nothing against people who smoke pot regularly. Actually, I live with one. My husband's been smoking for quite a few years although he kept it a secret while we were dating and for the first year of our marriage. Now he does it every day, sometimes twice a day. He has a job, he's a good daddy and everything but I have some concerns. First and foremost, I feel like he's detaching from me...what I mean is, when he comes home, first thing he does is roll a joint and get high, and after he's done this, he can't take or make any serious talk..Like, he just shuts himself out of the real world. Every day. I am having trouble understanding this. Could somebody please explain? He tells me everybody who smokes pot regularly has some difficulty dealing with reality and needs an escape. Is this true? I mean...He can do whatever he wants - it's his life, not mine, but I can't help feeling abandoned by these escapes. It's almost like he's not happy with his life.

Can anyone relate to what I'm saying?

Thanks,
JB

Maybe you should smoke with him? Or if you really don't want to try to get him before he gets high and take him out of the room and try conversing about something non relating to weed. If this doesnt work try talking to one of your friends that you can trust to help you with your situation.

that defineatly isnt just the weed.
hes using it as an excuse for something else in his life.
its more of a psychological thing than the drug itself. i can sit and smoke great weed all day if im in the right mood and i can function normally, and i can smoke alot less average weed in the wrong mood and be totally fucked up. if youre using it as an escape its going to become one. i dont know your guys situation but maybe he needs a change...

i've been smoking pot everyday for over 20 years...i started dating the woman who would be my wife about 5 years before i started smoking pot...she does not smoke pot at all

before we got married, she would get a little weird about my cannabis use...she didn't like the smell and she didn't like the idea of me getting high before sex...but she got used to the idea of me being a pothead and definitely preferred it to the year we spent living overseas without any pot

i think she finds me more engaging after i use cannabis...i say this because she encourages me to go roast a bowl when i'm getting grumpy...pot almost always cheers me up

i don't know what goes on in your house or relationship but here are a few things you can try:

smoke pot with your husband and have wild monkey sex (if you can stop laughing and pushing twinkies in your mouth)...it doesn't have to be sex - maybe you could hire a babysitter and go smoke a joint with him on the beach at sunset with a nice picnic basket full of wild monkey sex...errr...sorry, i got mixed up there because you keep mentioning sex

another thing you can do is be supportive of his use...back in the good old days, a woman would be waiting at the door with a stiff drink to greet her working man...you don't have to undo the women's rights movement but you might buy him a nice waterpipe and a magazine subscription and maybe rent a good stoner movie like 'the big lebowski' or the documentary, 'grass'

here's a good idea: a pot vacation! take a trip to amsterdam or vancouver...visit the pot cafes and pot museums...stay at a pot friendly B&B with private hot tub and bong in every room...lemme know if you like that idea and i can suggest an itinerary in my home town, vancouver, bc

it could be that your husband is depressed...he's working all day and coming home to a house full of screaming nosepicking kids, jumping around in their underwear, flinging poo on the walls, and hogging the tv...that reality may be at odds with his life plan before marriage which, if it was anything like mine, involved being a superwealthy motocross legend on permanent world tour...raising a family is like running a private mental institution for incontinent midgets...its normal to get a little detached from the situation and wish for an early death (its like post-partum for men)

well i hope i wasn't too one sided...i'm sure its no fun-o-rama to find yourself on the couch next to mr unreachable...no matter what you try, talking is the best relationship glue...it may be hard to start the conversation with a detached person so i recommend that you first attach yourself to his dick and then afterwards, when he's all floppy and helpless, try to reach the man inside

good luck
