This article is not condoning drug use, as some drugs have many serious side effects (see warnings). The purpose of this article is to teach you how to cope if the one you love has a love of their own... pot!
- Not all stoners are boring and/or irresponsible, and some can be great fun to be around.
- Don't allow your partner to drive unless you are absolutely sure he or she is not intoxicated.
- If you find yourself worried about your partner's drug use, talk to them about it.
- If you find you get bored when your partner and his friends are getting stoned, then take homework/magazines/videos
- Knowledge is power. Learn about drug use. (Suggestion: Learn about drug history and how it has influenced drug laws)
- Don't assume that you know why your partner chooses to use a controlled substance; there are many reasons which can differ from individual to individual. If you are interested in understanding the motivation behind your partner's marijuana use (recreational, medicinal, escape, etc.), try to discuss it with them in an open and non-judgmental manner.
