To get your boyfriend to quit weed, the trick is to show him (not tell him) the benefits of quitting, definitely without ‘scolding’ him!
Guys sometimes have a knack for convincing girls that what they’re doing isn’t so bad. But the fact is that smoking weed changes people and the man you love today will slowly change over time if he continues to smoke weed.
Marijuana doesn’t kill people, but it certainly kills personalities!
Weed tends to change people. A person who smokes weed consistently will eventually have increased apathy, a huge loss of motivation, a weaker immune system, and of course an addiction that will always come first in life, before hopes, dreams, and yes. even you!
If your boyfriend smokes weed, he’s not a bad person! He may just not know any better. Many people tend to believe that marijuana is a harmless drug, but statistics tell us otherwise.
People who smoke marijuana every day:
- have fewer vacations
- Have less money (even if they sell weed)
- You experience a loss in sexual desire
- You experience less overall drive in life.
Eventually, the hopes and dreams in life subside as fast as the motivation for life does.
So how do I get my boyfriend to quit smoking weed?
Telling your boyfriend outright that he “has to quit” will rarely work. If you tell a guy to do something, he’ll usually have a stronger urge to do the opposite.
It’s a boy thing.
So if you can’t tell him to quit, what can you do to get your boyfriend to quit smoking weed?
This is where psychology comes into play.
You have to be skillful to convince your boyfriend to stop smoking weed. The good news is that there are many tricks that guys fall for.
Don’t tell him you’re going to quit just yet, always do it in small steps. Get him to quit smoking weed for just a couple of days at first, then try upping the ante to a week. Eventually, you’ll start to see the benefit of quitting weed and decide to quit on your own.
This is what you want.
The ultimate goal should be to get him to decide to quit weed on his own. It must be your idea. If you believe that quitting is your own decision, you are more likely to do so.
Remember, the more you tell your boyfriend to quit weed, the more he will want to smoke and will anyway, possibly even behind your back or in secret.
You need him to be open and honest about his addiction or you will lose all control and any hope that he will ever quit weed. Here are some options at your disposal that will help you get your boyfriend to quit smoking weed:
- Tell him that he’s different when he smokes weed and that you love him when he’s not stoned.
- Ask him to spend a couple of days without weed, for you!
- Reward him for not smoking weed
