Resolved Question: How can I convince my girlfriend to stop smoking marijuana?13 October 2009, 1:47 pmIt will almost be one year when I summed up the courage to ask, by then, an old crushee from elementary school (we're 25 now) if she can be my girlfriend. At that time I already knew she was in the "smoke till you pass out" category (she smokes everyday) but she was and still is always on top of her things (e.g. masters degree, impressive GPA, good job, nice car etc.). She is very supportive, trustworthy, beautiful, intelligent and a fox at night. Every mans dream to have a woman. She knew how I felt about the drug but at the same time I really didn't think much of it because I thought in the long run she would quit just like I easily did long ago and that all she needed was a man to love her and make her happy for she can finally stop escaping with weed. But it kinda didnt turn out that way.
To set the context for myself, I didnt lead the most positive life in my past. I know what weed can do to people first hand...for I use to sell it for years. Sure people say "its nothing", "that there are far more dangerous drugs approved by the FDA" but I say any drug is bad for your mind, body and soul. I have explained my feelings towards her but she says in a nutshell "look at me, it hasn't slowed me down". I must admit i have smoked with her relunctively from time to time because I want to make her happy (most of the time because she gives me the "you suck" face and makes me feel bad after I try to say no) so I do it but then I feel even worse because I'm damaging my brain and at work tomorrow I wont be the positive, charming "go getter" that I usually am.
We dated for three months before we hooked up for good and I can recall she use to love my stories of the hustle and the music life. The more and more and more I think about, I think she likes the bad ass in me which is disappointing because I have moved forward with my life a long time ago. Anyways, here we are in the eve of our one year anniversary. I have introduced her to my two wonderful children from my past "marriage" and it seems I've run out of options to convince her to stop. I dont want my kids having pothead step-mom and I really think I found someone who I can spend my whole life with but I'm afraid if she keeps this up I'm not going to have the opportunity to see her with gray hair. Should I just live with it or move forward with my life?
