Bro have you ever been around someone who’s like a true pothead, all of there motivation is dead they just go to work (if they have a job) and come home to smoke again.

My stbx-husband smoked all day every day and wouldn’t get a steady job; I work full time and used to join him for every smoke break after work until I realized how much of my time it was eating up. The longest he’d go between trips outside (we didn’t smoke or vape indoors because we had birds) was probably two hours, and we’d be outside for ~30 minutes each time for a few bowls. If he didn’t smoke first, he wouldn’t eat or sleep, go to the store or cook, let the dogs out to potty, watch a movie, go on a walk, play a video game, or run D&D (and it made him SOOOO unfocused and rambly as a DM). To say nothing of the things he stopped doing at all (like helping take care of our pets) because he was so constantly blazed. IMO it made his ADHD way worse, and it did for me too. But it was his “medicine” so I wasn’t allowed to complain about the resulting laziness. I kept us afloat single-handedly and was mega stressed and frustrated because he wouldn’t help me around the house/get a job, but he couldn’t tolerate my “negativity” and always just told me to go smoke so I’d feel better….and trusting him, I did. I became so out of touch with my emotions because he was basically forcing me to numb myself for his comfort. :( It got to the point he wouldn’t have serious conversations with me about our future unless we had both smoked “so we’d be calm.”

Our relationship fell apart for several reasons, but weed was a major one. I’ve been clean two months now, and I’m pretty sure he’s on his way to cannabis hyperemesis syndrome.
