Ugh... life is so dumb sometimes.
How do I make someone stop smoking pot without telling them to stop?
~*wOOt!*
Tell them about my husband's college roomie, who was so stoned he thought defrosting the fridge with an ice ax was a good idea. He punctured the freon tube and had the fire department out to the apartment complex.
A couple weeks later this same guy put bread dough in a plastic bowl with a towel over it, put it in the oven to rise, and turned on the oven. Again, the fire department paid a visit. Needless to say, the place smelled like burning plastic for the next couple weeks.
I'm sure there are lots of good stories about idiot potheads. Who wants to be remembered as an idiot pothead?!
you can't ,it's their life.

There is a rather large difference in smoking pot and drinking. There's heavier consequences in smoking pot since it's a bit more illegal (it's illegal for everyone not just people under 21 or whatever the age is where you are). And it can affect if you can get a job. Plus it's just not pleasant to be around someone who is smoking it or has just recently smoked 'cause it smells worse than cigarette smoke.
I was once in a tiny trailer house where a bunch of people decided it was fun to start smoking right in the house... that was lovely. Fortunetely they went outside after being yelled at.
I don't think I'd try to make someone quit... I'd just make it clear that I didn't approve of it and try my hardest not to be around them when they do it.

I love the smell of pot, though I once had a bad experience when I didn't know what I was doing and don't do it.

Another way to get someone to stop smoking pot: have them switch to brownies.
And I don't think I know what pot smells like.
Well it's not that I'm going to try to make someone quit, becuase that'd be bitchy and stupid and pointless. But it really upsets me, because I really REALLY don't like it. I think it taints people in a way, almost like a loss of innocence. And what upsets me the most is the fact it makes people lie and try to hide things, and I just think it's a bad habit to get into. Ugh.

You made it seem more like casual drinking, not problem drinking. I think this is also something people close to an abusive drinker would try to help stop even more so than probably someone who smoked pot.
Are there even any long term effects of pot? It doesn't really make sense why that is illegal when alcohol "gets a free pass."

From someone who used to smoke, nothing you can do will probably make them stop. Your best choice is to be upfront...if you hate it so much tell them you'll stop hanging out with them... if you aren't willing to do it then I wouldn't complain about it... it's all up to you.

I'm not vilifying smoking, and I'm not putting drinking on a pedestal. I never even said anything about drinking in the first place! The thing I'm most upset about is the fact that it's my boyfriend who is smoking pot, who I've been dating for three years now, who has NEVER lied to me about anything before he started smoking and now that he's started, he weekly "forgets" to tell me about things that are really important. Or basically just lies or omits out of conversations what he's up to. So, basically I'm just upset by the fact we're going down a road that doesn't lead to a happy ending, and it just seems to have started because he's smoking. And I don't even know how much, or how often, because he wont tell me the truth! Bahh.
~*wOOt!*
Have you tried talking to him about the lying and that? I don't think there's much you can really do about the smoking, like Kevin said. My boyfriend just smokes regular cigarettes, and I can't stand it, yet that doesn't stop him. But you should definitely try to talk to him about the other issues.

Last time I smoked my heart exploded and I died and my friends were going to kill me and the water they gave me was poisoned and my fingers looked AMAZING.
Seriously, look at your dermal ridges. They are AMAZING.

w00t... don't waste time...I know you've been with him for 3 years... that is like an eternity when you are as young as you are...but honestly... from someone who used to smoke, YOU have to be the one to tell him. He's not just going to stop because he thinks you dont' like it. If you hate it enough then you gotta give him an ultimatum, if you dont' then you gotta just let it go. You can't have it both ways... because otherwise it'll just be back and forth. If you tell him it's either you or pot and the lying has gotta stop then you'll know how he feels. If he chooses the pot than screw him, you saved yourself from more heartache down the road, yea 3 years is a long time, but if he doesn't respect you enough after 3 years then is he really "worth fighting for" (as Nine Days Would say).
