boyfriend and drugs

im purely writing this just to see what everyone else thinks about the subject... basically ive been with my boyfriend who i adore sooo much for 8 months now and i love every minute of my life being with him id never change him for the world... hes into drugs mainly skunk and at first i had a problem with it but after speaking to friends and family about it... i know i cant change him and id never dream of doing so...so basically im just trying to say does anyone else accept it in the same way as i do, in the sense that i know and trust him well enough that he'd never introduce me to drugs as he knows i dont agree with it but if he wants to do it then thats totally up to ...and besides it is only socially that he does it ...what do you think??
i personally wouldnt have a problem with it, providing he wasnt injecting - and aslong as he wasnt majorly addicted, is your bf? its not only about trusting him, but do you trust yourself aswell (not to take involved, and be influenced)?

Well if you are fine with it thats all that matters. You need to be comfortable with it for the relationship to continue to be strong. If not, it might crumble away but you seem to be ok with it.

Personally, I would not tolerate it. I hate it with a passion. Somebody close to me was put in a mental institution because they smoked so much weed they went crazy. 95% of inmates in there were there because of drug abuse in one way or another.

The whole drug thing just makes me uneasy and uncomfortable - it would even if I hadnt seen someone throw their life away because of it. I just hate it. But thats just me :smile:

oh no hes definatly not injecting and i know that him and myself are strong enough characters in the sense that he wouldnt even try to influence me and my personal feelings about taking drugs makes me strong enough not to be influenced.

oh yea definatly i personally hate drugs with a passion too, but as i said he isnt asking me to be involved with drugs and as far as i am aware... bearing in mind i spend alot of time with him he only socially smokes so yea it is on weekends so yea i feel that my approach is relevant and understandable but will people be looking at me and thinkin i dont care what hes doing to himself i mean he knows how i feel and i feel that way because you hear so much in the news about people who have ruined their life from drugs but at this stage do i need to be worrying?? hes not addicted just enjoys smoking it with his mates.

you can't trust drugs.therefore you can't trust him

as long as he's not pushing it onto other people or it becomes a real serious problem, it should be ok.

I wouldnt worry about it too much if its not affecting him negatively.
With respect to the comment about it putting people into mental institutions because they smoked so much, isnt that similar to someone drinking so much they end up in hospital with a defunct liver? You cant write it off completely because of some people going to extremes.

Yeh I know. It still makes me uneasy even if they dont go ott. Its just something I dont like or agree with *shrugs*

I don't see what the problem is. Drugs aren't bad for you unless you don't know what you're doing, but that applies to everything.
If I had a gf/bf doing drugs I really wouldn't mind unless it was seriously controlling them.

Most things are fine in moderation, and it shouldnt make him violent really.
