Hi,
I have 2 daughters 15 yrs. and 12 yrs. my husbands Father and Brother come over every July 4th, Thanksgiving, and Usually Christmas. The problem, My brother in-law smokes lots of pot, I have let him know many times I don't agree with his life style not to say I have never done wrong myself but I straightened up long ago for my kids,He goes out every few hours to smoke. My father in-law feels this is ok because of glaucoma but he smoked for 15 yrs. before that.My 12 year old caught him with smoke coming out of his mouth and she knows he doesn't smoke cigs. I did confront him with this and he claims if he doesn't smoke he gets bad anxiety, When I ask him not to bring it when he comes to my house he would not commit to leaving it while he visits and I believe my kids will think I am justifying drugs when I let him bring it to our home.Also my husband has smoked in the past but now has drug testing at work and I think It could be a temptation to him but my husband thinks it is no big deal he brings it. Please give me your opinions he is planning on the 4th this year.
Thanks
Hello there
Stick to your guns, tell him you dont want him coming round if he is going to smoke.
Lets face it whether its for health or not he will get stoned.

My next question, Is pot addictive?
Yes it is and you can get withdrawals
waiting
is pot addictive? yes very addictive. this site is full of 100's of us who spent years of our lives so addicted to the stuff that it controled our life. you cant stop him from bringing it with him. but when he goes out to smoke, you can follow him and tell him he needs to leave and go some where else to do that. its your home and you have a right to set the rules. and yes you are right, if you allow him to smoke there then you may be sending a message to your kids that you think smoking pot is ok.
