My husband has been smoking synthetic marijuana for years.... Long before I knew him. It's legal where we live and it didn't change his work ethic or schooling, so I was always fine with it. I smoke cigarettes, he smokes K2. We've had a lot of good conversations smoking together in the shed. Lately, though, it's starting to get really in the way of a lot of things. I would like to quit smoking, and have tried several times, but it's so hard when he's going out to smoke and I'm sitting alone in the house!! Walgreens is right around the corner, and I always just end up running there, grabbing a pack, so that I can join him. I miss spending that time with him smoking when I try to give it up. He's tried to help me by not telling me when he's going out or going to smoke after I go to bed, but we like to go to bed together so it never really works, cuz then I'm just lying in bed knowing he's in the shed. The other day we had a fight, not related to smoking, and I went to bed early. I heard a big crash noise and got out of bed to check on what was going on, and he had dropped his glass of milk and was too high to pick it up. He could barely walk back to bed and his pants were hanging off of him. Watching him try to get his shoes off was ridiculous. And that kind of stuff scares me! I know he got extra high because of the fight, but what kind of things could have happened if he smoked just a little bit more? Anyways, I got really angry because of that and ran out to the shed and flushed everything he had left to smoke, even hiding his pipes. We didn't speak for the next two days. Now I know that it's a little unfair of me to just make him quit. I don't want to take something away from him that he enjoys just because once in a blue moon it makes me angry, and I know it was rude and immature of me to flush his stuff. He works hard to support me so that I can do volunteer work, and he is a really good man. I feel like he deserves to be able to relax, and I understand that he doesn't want to quit. I can't make that decision for him! We've tried saying we'll only smoke on the weekends, or he'll only smoke 5 bowls a week, etc, but I always end up telling him to just not worry about it after my anger has died down cuz I feel like I'm being unfair. Does anyone else have a way to figure this out?
