I've known 2 crackheads in my childhood neighborhood who stole to maintain their crack addiction; ripping a gold chain from a friends neck, breaking into garages at night to steal anything of value to buy a crack vial, stealing a friends home phone, etc... I have never seen or heard of that kind of behavior in marijuana users ever. I believe your hubby simply loves to use marijuana. Possibly he is using marijuana as an excuse. Hope your problem is resolved soon.
Thanks. Things are resolving- although it feels so foreign that he’s now moved out, I’m feeling like I have control of my life again and my surroundings.
The difference between you/your friend and my husband is you are ex smokers and my husband isn’t. He was diagnosed with substance use disorder. I’ve teased him 20 yrs ago saying he acts like marijuana is crack, I’d never seen someone Jones like him over weed. I don’t care if he had a regular use of marijuana but there was nothing regular about it. He cannot tolerate many thoughts and feelings-he literally runs to get high when he has certain thoughts and feelings.
