[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I have been there. My now-XH also had ADD and medicated his anxiety with pot. He didn't smoke at home, but he was blazing with my BIL every chance he got. The pot-smoking contributed to the demise of both marriages. In my case, it wasn't the financial hit, but rather his inability/refusal to explore other coping skills. As a result, he couldn't handle a stressful situation if he wasn't stoned. And of course, he couldn't actually handle a stressful situation while he was stoned. So I ended up handling every crisis --often while he roamed around looking for someone to buy from. While I was pregnant, I couldn't stand the smell of it on his clothing and hair, so I begged him to quit. He did and then had a nervous breakdown/mental health crisis when the next round of stress hit.
We're divorced and he still smokes, is still a train wreck when there's an emergency. Pot is such a part of him that he will never quit. I just advise you to set your DH up with other coping mechanisms before you ask him to stop.
I don't know if pot is addictive, but it does create situations of mental dysfunction like alcohol or other drugs can. People with ADD or mental illness seem especially vulnerable to a dependency on pot to be able to navigate even normal stresses of everyday life.They also seem less likely to recognize that they have moved from recreational use to a problem.
I wish you luck and peace.
