So, yeah, it's about a girl. I really like my girlfriend, and this is without a doubt the best relationship I've been in. She invited me to move in and I've already moved 90% of my crap in. But there's just this one teeny, tiny, little thing. She smokes marijuana. Now look, I drink alcohol, so it's not an issue of substance abuse. Nor is this because some supreme respect for the "law." And she doesn't smoke it often. Typically when she just gets smashed, and someone's willing to share (weed smokers love to share around here, it is the social drug of choice, after all). But no matter how hard I try, it still bothers the hell out of me. I won't date someone who smokes cigs, because it's gross to me. But I have issues with smoking of any kind. Just... bleck. We once had a brief conversation about it. She asked if it bothered me (knowing it clearly did). I said what she does is her business. She responds that what's her business is our business. But I know that if I say I don't like her doing it, she'll either resent me for it, do it behind my back (and I'll end up finding out, then an argument will ensue, shit will go down), or we'll break up right there. Because as crazy as she is about me, as I know her, she does not compromise for any man. Even me. Which is fine because I haven't asked any yet, because other than this, things have been great. It could also be the fact that I associate pot smokers with ne'er-do-wells, due to prior experiences with exes and old friends. But that's just a broad overgeneralization. You can be a functional member of society and still get down with the green, I get it. But it still just grosses me out a little. She came in the room last night, kissed me and said she'd be in bed in a bit, but she reeked like weed, and I couldn't stand to be close to her face. It's different when my friends smoke weed. They're just my friends. My criticisms don't even seem fair. Alcohol good, weed bad? But it doesn't change the fact that it digs at me. I feel stupid that this is even a problem.

Then she isn't crazy about you. There is no such thing as a relationship without compromise (one that lasts anywho)

Edit: Also, if she's willing to talk about it you need to be honest with her and let her know before she becomes comfortable with the notion that you are okay with it.

why don't you just tell her what you wrote in the OP.

she seems open about it, you should discuss this with her, not with TL.

girls understand the reasoning of "not feeling well about it"
And all is illuminated.

Why does it bother you? It seems like you can't rationalize it well other than the fact that it grosses you out. Why don't you make some sort of compromise that you don't want to be around her when she's high or that if she has smoked recently she should shower or something because you hate the smell.

You are right in saying it doesn't make sense to drink but have an issue with smoking pot, I would consider alcohol abuse to be much worse and it doesn't seem like she's really even what you would call a "pothead". The best thing to do is to come to a mutual compromise that doesn't involve her quitting but just limiting her use when with you or just getting over it. You don't have a great logical reason for your problem with it so maybe it's easier just to deal with it and let it go.

Don't be so controlling, unless there is proper merit for it. When you start going out with someone you should be making a contract that you won't try to change the other person against their will, because you chose to go out with them at that moment, not whoever they become after a slew of changes directed by your opinions. Some people can't handle weed - those people should not smoke. Some people can - it's their option. Regardless of which category she falls into, the choice is hers not yours, just like you initially said. If it's too much of a bother for you, then you shouldn't have gone out with her. If it's not, then suck it up. Love > smoking preferences.

I think he was referring more to the contrast in health effects not their odors. Although the odors are vastly different as well, imo. The smell of weed 1. does not stick around long relatively speaking 2. smells good to me, but that's just my opinion.

MountainDewJunkie...

If you really feel this way (and I understand how you feel), then you need to bring it up. It's implicitly destroying your relationship, because it's clearly bothering the hell out of you. Living with her and having this hidden resentment isn't going to be any good for either for you. Your idea that its gross, and your confusion aren't abnormal. You guys need to talk it out. If you guys talk it out, then one of two things will happen:
1. She'll stop (or attempt to stop) = Great for you
2. She won't stop (and the result is pretty much the same as if you didn't mention it, except you can't feel guilty for not bringing up why you feel uncomfortable) = Not great for you, but clearly not your problem
It sucks that it needs to be brought up, but it's a problem that won't go away on its own.

Good luck!

I would argue that they both smell equally bad, just different. Marijuana causes respiratory problems btw. And cancer has never been proven in either cig smoking or marijuana smoking, trends indicate that BOTH do, however. (With cig smoking showing a larger trend)

lol no but, i kinda understand, talk to her about it and figure something out, and if she is willing to break up with you for not liking it, then move on imo.

Back to the topic some people just don't support drugs. If you're one of those people, that's fine, it's who you are. If you're asking her to compromise on this, though, remember that she has the right to ask you to compromise as well

Being an alpha male means to be confident and assertive, not a controlling manipulative dick. Maybe that's what it means to you.

there are also trends that indicate marijuana smoke inhibits the growth of cancer cells

and there aren't any cases linking emphysema to marijuana smoke that I am aware of although feel free to dispute that

If it bothers you, just tell her to stop.

I knew a girl, we wanted to date, but I told her I wouldn't date someone that smokes (anything). She stopped because she felt I was worth it. Though we don't date now, she still doesn't smoke, and shes glad for that. Wins all around.

If shes not willing to stop for that, then its probably not worth it. Or you stay in the relationship, so it must not bother you too much.

Weed smells x1000 better than cigs, even with my disdain, and I am greatful she doesn't smoke them.

From a PRO marijuana website.

http://www.drugpolicy.org/marijuana/factsmyths/

"Like tobacco smoke, marijuana smoke contains a number of irritants and carcinogens. But marijuana users typically smoke much less often than tobacco smokers, and over time, inhale much less smoke. As a result, the risk of serious lung damage should be lower in marijuana smokers."

So if your problem is that it's something unhealthy you don't want in your life, you may feel justified. However, by your own admission she doesn't smoke that often and I haven't seen a study showing health issues relating to sporadic marijuana usage.

Edit: I've grown up around cigarette smoke... maybe that makes it smell less awful or something, because to me they're both awful

Edit 2: The whole marijuana argument comes down to personal freedom imo. Does your marijuana smoking harm others? (Other than a bad smell) I don't believe it does. Does marijuana put you at an unacceptably high risk? I don't believe it does, at the very least it's on par with alcohol (if not under it)

Edit 3: Personal testimony from an anonymous internet user claiming to have gotten emphysema from near daily smoking of marijuana.

http://www.marijuana.com/medicinal-marijuana/112018-6-yr-daily-smoker-diagnosed-emphysema-age-23-a.html

To point out what emphysema is to those believing it is limited to smoking cigs...

Emphysema is a serious lung disease where the alveoli and the narrow passages leading to these air sacs become permanently swollen air. Emphysema is not caused by smoking. But the smoking burns the tissue in the lungs so that the cells are dying faster than the body is able to replace them with new cells.

So ANY smoking increases the risk of emphysema. Keep yourselves aware of ALL risks before trying any drugs people. Now, if you deem the risk sufficiently low, then go for it, that's a personal decision I feel you should be allowed to make. I couldn't let misinformation be propagated in this thread, though, sorry for the derail.

You arent gonna magically start liking the smell and she probably wont be thrilled if you say quit or im out. compromise, not as if its ridic that someone doesnt care for the smell of weed... ask her to not smoke when she knows shell be around you or you should probably just nip the bud.

i think the fact that your illogically annoyed by this even though you seem to be a logical person seems to indicate something deeper

either you are covering up ur fear of commitment and moving in with this petty annoyance, or youre a hypocrite.

i dont mean that negatively btw, lots of people are hypocritical, i think the word gets a bad connotation

For some reason usually neither the proponent or detractors of marijuana usage ever seem to actually know the actual studies that have been performed.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/25/AR2006052501729.html

EDIT: lol, maybe you should have read the rest of the passage you quoted:

Moderate smoking of marijuana appears to pose minimal danger to the lungs. Like tobacco smoke, marijuana smoke contains a number of irritants and carcinogens. But marijuana users typically smoke much less often than tobacco smokers, and over time, inhale much less smoke. As a result, the risk of serious lung damage should be lower in marijuana smokers. There have been no reports of lung cancer related solely to marijuana, and in a large study presented to the American Thoracic Society in 2006, even heavy users of smoked marijuana were found not to have any increased risk of lung cancer. Unlike heavy tobacco smokers, heavy marijuana smokers exhibit no obstruction of the lung's small airway. That indicates that people will not develop emphysema from smoking marijuana.


By the way that study found the cigarette users in the group had 20x greater chances of cancer. You can read about it at the link.

It's more an annoyance with anything people use as a crutch (I am not saying all people use such things as a crutch, but I do believe a lot of people tend to mislead themselves as they become more and more reliant on any substance, but hey, we all have our vices and maybe this is what bothers the OP). Alcohol, marijuana, any mind-altering drug. But that's a personal belief, and you are correct in that I am logical, so I do not hold my own beliefs over other people and allow them the ability to choose (I am pro marijuana legalization)

You linked to wikipedia. Good job failing ANY academic research paper.

At this point you're arguing semantics. I understand your point, but what you lack the education in is that emphysema isn't a by-product of smoking.

Once again emphysema is...

A disease that damages the air sacs and/or the smallest breathing tubes in the lungs. As the lungs lose elasticity, similar to an overused rubber band, the affected areas become enlarged.

Smoking kills the cells causing them to regenerate at a slower rate. What smoking does is accelerate the process. We're arguing whether acceleration of this process constitutes cause of the process. You may be right, but in my mind acceleration is not cause.

Regardless, in the best of scenarios you have proven a small statement wrong, and in the process further proven the danger of marijuana.

Give me a day and I'll bump this with the study itself. I've done research on marijuana usage in the past because I like to be informed about my voting decisions. I had to go through my school's research paper department to get access to the study.

From memory, the study was funded by a pro-marijuana activist group and the lead researcher used a medical marijuana center as his pool to gather data from.

Edit: I'd like to point out that in all fairness, being funded by a pro-marijuana group isn't BAD per se. But when every study that comes out leans towards the funding group's philosophy...

I would talk to her about and try to come to a consensus. Tell her it bothers you, so if she wants to do it to keep her distance or shower before she goes near you. She'll make the decision to either retrain from smoking it or to keep her distance. It may change to the other given time, but if this relationship is as serious as you say I can't see her not choosing either one of them.

ok, your definition of cause and disease is pretty nonsensical.

By this definition you could say that being stabbed in the heart is not really the CAUSE of death, as the heart naturally over time weakens and loses structural integrity, the stabbing only accelerates this process....

Ok, cool, I'd love to see it.

It seems obvious that the data would come from a medical marijuana system, as any data drawn from illegal usage is sure to be extremely unreliable and extremely difficult to collect. I have only done cursory investigation of the study, it seemed pretty legitimate to me, not to mention that the lead on the study has in the past produced several studies used by drug enforcement agencies as evidence of the danger of marijuana (such as this http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16128224), so he's not some hippy mouthpiece.

We ARE talking about how weed's affecting how he feels about being around her. I say talk to her, and have her either shower after using the bong, or stay in places where the smoke and smell don't bother each other so much.

ok, OP, get over it

You acknowledge your dislike is illogical, thus it is not her responsibility to acquiesce to your admittedly dumb prejudices. If you cannot deal with her small marijuana usage then it sucks for you, but it IS your job to get over it.

We all do things that we know are stupid and make no sense, it is far better to work on fixing these things than trying to force other people to live in our fantasies.

But i believe that if you are not ok with her smoking then you should think why are you with her then you will find out that you have much more to lose than to win if you leave her or decide not to move in yet.

In my opinion you are being a huge wuss about it and you should just brush it off and you are going to get diss hard. Girls can find a million things that bother them and you my friend are a man you are made to make girls crazy, you will most likely be schooled on how much stuff you do wrong and how you are much worse at keeping the place nice and tidy and a lot of other things that you do wrong. If she doesnt do that then she is not "wife" material, wives are supposed to show you how bad you are doing things....


To sum up, yeah you are stupid for making something like this a problem when a serious issue comes up then you will be feeling much more dumb about it.

Tell her you can't stand the way it smells, and that she should quit or get a vaporizer so you don't have to smell it anymore?

Honestly I think you need to worry about more than the pot smell if you need to make a post on TL.net about this instead of just having the conversation with her.

If it really bothers you that much, you should just tell her. Do you really want to spend your life with someone with a habit that you can't stand? If she isn't willing to let you reason with her about smoking marijuana, then she's putting weed over you, which means.. well...

(Maybe you quitting your drinking might set an example )

It's irrational but you should be able to talk about it with her. It sounds like there may not be a solution - it's something you don't like but it's something she likes. She shouldn't have to change if you don't have a justifiable reason but that doesn't stop you from feeling the way you feel.

I'd like to say "man up bitch" or something but we've all had one thing like this. I'd bring it up once for a serious discussion, bring it as close to resolution as possible, and then I wouldn't bring it up again.

I smoke weed everyday and I know my wife doesn't really like it. So everytime I smoked, I go to brush my teeth so I can talk / kiss without smelling bad.

I mean, according to your wall of text, you are only bothered by the smell, right ? So a good tooth brushing should do the job !

Guys, dont u guys get the fuckin point? its not about health fuckin issues, god!

its about someone who doesnt like fuckin weed or smokers or watever... I can relate to u man! I grew up in a place where nobody around me ever did drugs, and if they did they d do it behind ppls back and no1 would ever know.

Now, I live in the States and everybody knows weed isnt that big of a deal, but at least for me it is... even though ive done it, I will not date a girl that smokes weed. It just bothers me in the back of my mind because I dont associate it with any good. I find it really really stupid and why do I have to accept a girl that smokes weed? If I really like her Ill tell her I dont like it and I couldnt take her serious cuz of it; so at that point its her choice to smoke or be with u. Its not that complicated, matter fact it bothers u so u need to tell her... u guys could be great friends if she chooses weed over u, she wouldnt be worth ur time if she chooses weed over u imo

You like people for who they are and what they do, u will never like her as much as u d want to because of the fact that she smokes weed, it makes total sense and u shouldnt feel stupid for feeling that way, It's you! its how u feel

Well, she drinks more than I do, and I'm actually a "responsible" drunk [oxymoron?] (I cut myself off, don't drink till I puke, etc.). She is pretty much a binge drinker. She'll say no to weed at first, but X beers later and she's all over that shit if it's available. Goes that way for lots of people I know. But I mean, we'll never meet a girl that never does anything that we don't like, which is why I feel awkward even making a big deal out of this. They say don't knock it till you try it, but I really have no desire to smoke it.

You should've been honest as soon as you found out she smoked weed. Dump her IMO, talking to a high girl while your sober is fucking annoying.

How do you know she won't compromise for you if you haven't asked yet? She brought it up hoping to discuss the matter and come up with a solution for both, you dodged the issue assuming that she would not want to do what she was already showing interest in doing. If you ask her to cut out on the weed I don't see why she wouldn't; just have a couple talks about it and see how you both feel. And uhh yes her business is your business, otherwise why would you have bothered to move in with her?

You can't live with someone and supress your own needs just to make her happier (which might not even be the case). The sooner you ask the sooner you'll find out whether or not you want to continue being in this relationship.

Best of luck to you =D

Im still missing why you havent just told her that you dont like it, but that all youre asking is that she just not do it around you

Im having an extreme case of deja vu. Swear i saw this thread before with the same responses before.

She can be doing worst things then weed but if it really bothers you that much then you better step it up and tell her this relationship wont work if she continues.

There is no such thing as a relationship without compromise (one that lasts anywho)

Edit: Also, if she's willing to talk about it you need to be honest with her and let her know before she becomes comfortable with the notion that you are okay with it.


This ... commitment and communication is so key and foundational to any relationship. As two different people, you need to know how to meet each other's needs, and the only way you can do that is by (1) finding out each other's needs through communication and (2) committing to meet each other's needs [which often necessitates compromise on both parties].

I think if you really care for her and she cares for you, then you should lay out both of your thoughts while reiterating how much you care for her and you want to make this relationship work. As she said, "her issues are our issues", so she needs to be aware of your needs and how the two of you can work out a way to meet both your needs and her needs.

tl;dr: communicate more please, and make the decision of whether you want to commit or not =P
