[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of folks demonizing pot - lack of education and gross over reaction.

Your DH is hiding it b/c he knows how you feel about it and you are being unreasonable.  It helps him, apparently.  He's doing it for a number of reasons - maybe to take the edge off, deal with medical issues, etc.  I'd focus on those issues rather than him toking up at times.

Don't get all bent out of shape over the pot smoking.  Occasional is fine.  There is no data to support otherwise.  [/quote]

I agree.

I hid my pot use from DH for a while, because he disapproves. I finally told him that I could take prescription pain killers or I can smoke a little weed, but I couldn’t handle the pain that came from complications after surgery without some kind of pain relief. My doctor gave me a 2 week supply of opioids, then another 2 week’s supply, then another. I was worried about being on them for 6 weeks and possible addiction issues. Plus, they left me nauseated, and my anti nausea medication made me sleepy, so I was either sleeping or fighting sleep and useless at home. Smoking a little weed though, it didn’t eliminate the pain quite as well as the prescription pain meds but it helped a lot, and it didn’t leave me nauseated. I also found out it helped with my anxiety as well. After I laid it the facts for DH, he was supportive, but I really resented him being judgmental and having to get his approval to treat a medical condition.

Marijuana has a lot of practical medical applications, which it sounds like is the reason he’s using it. It’s really no big deal. The fact that you didn’t know he’s smoking weed is evidence that it’s not affecting him adversely. He lied because it’s easier than having to try and convince you it’s acceptable, deal with your judgment, and be treated like a child. Maybe consider how you’re behavior shapes people’s responses to you. [/quote]

Hear hear!  Marijuana has so many medicinal benefits and yes, also takes the edge off.  IT's been known to be a great treatment for hypertension, anxiety, etc.  People, we're not talking about heroin or cocaine.  FWIW, I've only smoked once in the past 20 years but I know enough about the science to know it's not the bogeyman a lot of you claim it is.[/quote]

+1000

OP please educate yourself on weed. I dont even know if I think your issue is even with the weed itself, but the lying. I understand that, but he lied because he feels he has no other option unless he wants to deal with your judgment...and who wants that? You're his wife, not his parents [/quote]
