siriusp Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Just curious what peoples thoughts are on dating someone that smokes a lot of weed? Is it a problem? Does it affect the relationship negatively? What kinds of behaviors are typical from a pot user?
pleasedtomeetyou Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 I did, for about 3 months. She was very low energy and a go-with-the-flow type. This was both really attractive, but also the reason why things didn't progress to anything more serious. It was really nice to be able to just relax, especially when the rest of my life was rather stressful at the time. But at the end of the day, her low energy also translated into a lack of ambition or desire for personal growth. And this I found very unattractive, so I ended things before they could get really serious. 1
smackie9 Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 If you are not a pot head then yes it could be an issue because it's a lifestyle. I dated a pothead that led into him being a coke head, to being a dealer. I found him to be unmotivated, sat around, and wanted to do less. I found it embarrassing going to family events with him stoned out of his head. 1
Frank2thepoint Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 On the third date with a woman, she revealed to me she smoked pot regularly, and admitted to also taking shrooms to regulate her mood. Her doing pot regularly explained her go-with-flow attitude, but the needing to regulate her mood with more drugs was a turnoff for me. 1

Mainly they're unmotivated but if they're a constant user they can become paranoid and even psychotic over time.
ExpatInItaly Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 At my age, I wouldn't even consider it. No thanks. I suppose one of my highschool boyfriend could've fit that description. He just never seemed to have much ambition or energy. Nearly 18 years later, he still is apparently a heavy user and still not doing much with himself.
veggirl Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 I personally don't smoke, but my bf does. It's no issue. He smokes in the evening while watching some tv or whatever, winding down for the night I guess the same way someone may have a glass of wine. Never been a problem. There are a lot more "potheads" in the world than you'd think Bet you work with some you'd never suspect! 1

There are a lot more "potheads" in the world than you'd think Bet you work with some you'd never suspect! See, to me that's not a pothead. That's a guy who smokes up. To interpret them as the same is like saying a guy who drinks a beer every night is the same thing as an alcoholic. It's all about how much the vice affects their life. Seems like your man uses pot in a healthy (well, as healthy as can be. You're still inhaling substances into your lungs, but that's a physical effect. Not a mental one.) way. A pothead does not. 1

And this I found very unattractive, so I ended things before they could get really serious. Me too. I dated someone similar for 2 months and I found it a chore as she had no get up and go with her life and oomph. I was actually pleased when she decided to end things. I didnt get the feeling it was going to go anywhere. Dates getting re-scheduled, or cancelled or just end up in her place where she`d just smoke pot. It became very unattractive.
