How do I stop my dad from smoking weed? ?!


Question: How do I stop my dad from smoking weed? ?
ok ok its not as it seems, were not skany people or whatever we live in a nice house and my dad has his own business own home own car etc, but he smokes weed and it makes me feel sick! I feel as though he is letting himself down and wasting his money! I feel so disappointed when I see him smoking it and its so embarrassing when my friends come over and see it and whenever I mention it to him he doesn't seem to care, what can I say/do to him to make him stop?

Answers:

Go to a naranon meeting. They are very well versed in the problem you are having with your dad. You are not alone.



I don't see anything wrong with your dad smoking week; he is a grown man and can delight in whatever he wants. I do, however, see something wrong with him doing it in front of you and your friends. You need to sit him down and tell him how it really bothers you when he does it in front of you. You can't expect him to quit but he should definitely respect that you hate when he does it in front of you.



Wrote in the areas.

Really I can't believe someone wrote that your should be able to smoke weed if he pleases. Why not say to your dad, hey can I try some. Maybe he will then see that he is influencing you and stop. Anyway and someone tells on him you could be taken away from him. Maybe you can explain that.



honestly, who cares..? its his life, let him do what he wants with him. i smoke and theres nothing wrong with it, and if he has all of that stress from work and such, and he quit after smoking for a long period of time... u would not like the mood he would be in after quiting. he would be grumpy, have mood swings, etc..seriously don't mess with a stoner and his habit of smoking the herb.

my mom trying to quit, and myself, family, etc.



Intervention. Talk about it with other family members. See if it bothers them. If so, then have them arrange a serious discussion with him about it.

If that dosen't work.... seek help for him.



Try hiding it or maybe talking him a little more of how you really feel about it.



Talk with your mom



I must ask..what did you mean by..."Were not skany people or whatever" I think you meant to say 'skanky',but whatever.What makes you think that only skanky people smoke 'weed'? Every social status has their own choice of drug..so with that? Your way off base! And,clueless as well.Drug users come in every social class,and not just the skanky people as you seem to think,and your dad is one of those high social drug users.I see the many answers stating that it's OK to smoke dope.Well.......it's not.Many young people,especially teenagers seem to think smoking 'weed' is somehow cool,hip,and the in-thing to be doing.I basically think..well I know,that those teens have no clue to what the 'real deal' is to drug use.It uslaly starts with marijuana use,and of course usually leads to much stronger drug use...cocaine,crack cocaine,heroin and whatever people choose to get their 'high' from.I know.Teenagers don't.Period.Fact.I hate to tell you this...But I wonder what else your dad uses that you don't know about.I mean....he IS pretty open with his 'weed' use,and to me...that say a whole lot.Period.Fact.For a person to be that open with their drug use,and to actually allow young teenagers..strangers,to literally see an adult/father smoking weed..well,again that says a lot about your dad,and his use of drugs/weed.I am really sorry for what your going through,but again...you seem to think drug users are only for the 'skanky people'...lower class of society.And,that is far from the truth and it seems as though this should open your eyes to the real truth now.Ya know? Drug use/drug addiction? Doesn't discrimate...doesn't matter if you own your own home..or how many cars you may have..or how much money you have in your bank account..what brand of clothing you wear.Where is your mother in all this? Where is the reat of your family in all this.Someone else in your family must know what's going on...especially seeing how your father so openly smokes his 'stuff'...others in your family have to know exactly what is going on.You need to speak up...say something...explain to your dad how his drug use is making you feel.Otherwise...go to a family member,and ask one of them..or all of them to speak with your dad about his use of 'weed'.Your mom? She needs to speak up IF she is in the picture.You can(in the meantime) attend a support group for teens who's parents choose to use drugs.Someone has to speak up...you can..or you can ask a close family member to do so.But..like I said.I've sen many answers here suggsting that your dad's drug/weed use is perfectly fine,and nothing wrond with it as he's a grown man.Well...he is a grown man...with a son,responsibilities as a father/parent,role model...and not a drug user,and especially not a role model for other teens who come over to your home to have to be subjected to his use of drugs.100% uncalled for,unacceptable behavior for a grown man and father.He should at the very least be ashamed of his behavior and his actions as a father.He clearly needs help,and he is in denial about his use of drugs/weed.Anyone who tells you that it's OK for your dad to smoke,use weed? Well....lets just say that their own futrues aren't much to look forward to either...as a parent,co-workers,friend,family member,employee...people who promote drug use themselves? usually never amount to much anyways.....This IS only MY opinion in which I AM entitled to........remember? Drugs never discriminate......Wishing you all the best,and also your dad...I hope he gets the help he deserves and needs.Take care.

One answer..saying nothing wrong with your dad smoking 'WEEK'...that is exactly what smoking WEEK does to a person.Just MY opinion,and simply stating a FACT as I seen/read it.
