Pretty sure my parent is addicted to marijuana. I recently gotten my medical card because I have issues with my bowels and back pain and also insomnia. I use to be a chronic smoker and would smoke at least 3-4 times a day. Now that I realized i wasn’t using it for a good reason (mainly to escape emotionally), I cut back on it. The same can’t be said for my parents. My one parent is really addicted because it makes them feel good and handle “situations better” but what they don’t realize is that they’re using it all the time to escape mentally, not even for “fun” anymore. My other parent just says that they want to get high all the time. It’s starting to concern me because I feel that it’s not being used for a good reason anymore. One time, my parent ran out and i mentioned quitting and the next day they bought some more. How does one deal with parents who do not want to stop smoking? It’s effecting everything. Memory is important for one of them do to their job and I can see that this person is not remembering things fully. I’m not in a position where I can move out (COVID and all that) but how do I change my relationship with my parents because I feel like marijuana is starting to make things bad!?
Since you can't make them stop then all you can do is accept the way they are for now because you can't move out for awhile. Let them do there thing and you do yours, don't try to fight them in how they are functioning because they won't listen to you.
@NS100 it’s hard because I now have to hide whatever pot I have because I’m afraid they will smoke it all.
