    Talk to him. Tell him that it bothers you.

    But it does not make people commit suicide. Those people already had a problem without the pot.

    It does not make you sterile. Too many pot heads have children.

    It does not cause erection problems.

    It does not cause cancer.

    All these are scare tactics with no scientific basis.

    No I do not smoke pot. I choose not to. Just as your boyfriend should. To quit for those other reasons is just rubbish.

    Also, it affects the ability to get an erection a bit later on in life, so if he wants a sex life say after 30, he might just wanna decide which is more important. This is true for alcoholics too!! Most don't know that, but the nerve endings in their penis's die, and they can't 'feel' like they used to and can't keep it up!

    Mental illness is sure an effect...and a whole lot of serious physical damage ie, malfunction of senses. You better get him help like telling his parents or someone responsible for him. Break up with him if you don't really love him you can get hurt by involving yourself with him.

    It will make him forgetful ...like forgetting appointments....forgetting promises...he will start not caring about his outer appearance, if it 's not already happening...he will loose a lot of weight due to loss of appetite...he will start having sleepless nights... he will start having hallucinations...he will start having fear of sleepless nights...then depression....which could be the reason why he is trying to numb himself....marijuana makes depression even worst...he needs to stop! He needs professional help to do it at some point. I'm afraid he has reached that point.

    okay....Weed can keep you from producing; having chillins. Its can over time slow the brain. Good luck on getting him to stop. If he smokes as much as you say he does then I dont think that he will stop or even slow down.

    Why don't you make him stand on the roof of Empire State Building. He will be high but at the same time will not be spoiling his health.

    Find a new boyfriend. Eventually he'll get over it, or he won't. This is a phase in his life and you can't let him drag you down.

    ok if its long term you can get cancer, get out of breath very easily, be afraid of the cold, and die at a very young age.

    then tell him to quit cuz if he ever wants to have a family with you then he will quit and also if he ♥ you as well. or you can always tell him to get some help???
