[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP but I share OP's question.  In our case, the young adult does live separately and is paying their own bills, but it is clear that the heavy pot use has somewhat parked them in neutral---they don't like their job, would like to make more money, but are not really taking any steps to better their situation.  We keep our mouth shut because they ARE paying their bills, and we made it clear that bank of mom and dad would not be bankrolling living beyond one's means, though we might be willing to help with post-graduate education geared towards improving DC's economic situation. [b] But I still would like some ideas on how to gently suggest that laying off the weed might help with focusing on ambition.[/b]  [/quote]

There is not "gently" way to talk about drug usage with a young adult. You are their parents and have the right to be concerned. Whether they listen or not it will up to them, however, you can't turn a blind eye on the situation. It's not about who's paying the bills or not, it's about their well-being.

Write down the things you want to say and have a calm/honest conversation. Make sure they are not high when you do...
