How to get my Dad to stop smoking pot?

I don’t think you should address it. It’s his business, and many people smoke pot. If you’d found a suitcase of it, I could see a cause for concern… but let him be. Maybe it’s a good stress relief for him if he doesn’t have a job. Try not to be so judgemental.

Who cares.

In a way I do agree a bit with what everyones saying but I’ve been in that situation myself, and if I were you I would leave it for now but if he dose anything that concerns you or you end up having a heart to heart just bring it up eventually he will come clean…when I confronted my dad he did the exact same thing total denial he even said he was willing to go down to the hospital and take a drug test, when my sister and I both knew it would be positive because we saw him smoking a joint on the deck lol but if its a really big concern and your really worried just tell him that you know he smokes pot and your concerned I mean whats the worst that could happen

Good Luck :)

I smoked pot for years and it makes you stupid and lazy and now, as an adult, every person I know who smokes pot regularly has unrealistic and unhealthy lifestyles…and trouble in relationships, work and generally in society.

It is cause for concern when your parent is doing it and it is just as harmful as being an alcoholic to your brain and your body. I can see how it would be cause for concern when your dad, a person you look up to is getting high when he should be focussing on finding employment and looking after his family.

I would treat it as a serious issue because it is. Society these days treats it like its no big deal, but that’s because kids are dumbed down by television and their peers and have no respect for themselves.

Take it from someone who has learned from experience, the difference between person who regularily drinks and does drugs and a person who either never does or saves it to enjoy on special occasions…is HUGE. For one, their bank account is much more full and they usually have better jobs and good health.

BY NO MEANS AM I ANTI-PARTY BUT those things should be a reward…AFTER the work and the responsibilities are taken care of…if you do them at all. Can’t we find more joy in the world we live in then smoking pot and watching tv? Two totally useless time wasting activities?

His an adult im sure he has his own issues, Its probably stress relief for him stay out of it.

give him more

Again…I agree with pink pearl. Let him be…he could be an alcoholic, which is legal, but a lot worse
