    Give him a chance to change on his own, don't push him or you might lose him. If he is really worth the effort, take your time and don't put too much pressure on him. It must be his decision to change, or it will not work.

    You know, I´m sorry to tell you this, but unfortunately there´s nothing you can do to stop him from smoking marijuana. I once fell in love with a boy who smoked it 4 times a day, and believe me: It´s the worst feeling I have ever experienced with someone. Watching him doing that to himself and not being able to make him understand the danger of it is extremely painful. I would say let him have his way. If he will ever stop smoking it, it will have to be because he WANTED to. Marijuana is quite addictive, and usually smokers - as in any other type of addiction - really don´t want to know about side effects, long-term health problems, etc, they are just concerned with the time being. And for the time being he wants to smoke, not to be told what TO DO. (don´t forget you are dealing with an addiction). Again, he will have to quit smoking marijuana by his own free will. I would say: take care of yourself. Don´t get envolved with someone who is a pathological smoker, for you will end up suffering more than you have ever imagined (even though now you feel you are strong enough to deal with it). The world is a much more beautiful place when seen through other than red-shot bloated eyes. Peace.

    Well, it sounds to me as if your boyfriend has s bit of a rebelious attitude! Not nessesarily a bad thing, but I do think that in this case it is about respect for your feelings, and maby he should reconsider. Try not to make him feel as if you are trying to run his life, but disscuss, in a approachable manner, with him the reasons you want him to stop. If he doesn't, well, you will have to decide if you can live with it. Maybe he is stressed, maybe it is an image thing. Find the source and then the remedy!

    Tell your boyfriend that he has a choice it is either u he choose or the weed. If he does not choose u then leave him the **** alone and go out and find u someone else.

    You have 2 choices: accept it and stay with him, or, since he's doing what he wants to do, you do what YOU want to do. It's apparent you don't like it (othewise why would you talk to him about it) so leave it and him alone.

    simple - "bobby, no more sex till you stop smoking pot.......grow up you loser!" that will get him to stop smoking pot ASAP, unless he is really gay and you dont know it.
