How do i make my brother stop smoking weed?
Posted on January 13th, 2011 by Bruce Townsend
Ok, i had a long talk with my younger brother who lied about quitting on smoking pot, and he finally agreed he would stop since he realized what was different about him. I don’t want him to go back on the pot, and i was just wondering if there was anything i can do for him to occupy himself so he won’t do it anymore. How can i keep him motivated, and etc?
Mike,
He’ll only stop smoking if he feels that it’s hurting him. Does HE feel that the smoking is effecting his social relationships, his school work, or his job? You, unfortunately, can’t motivate him. All you can do is encourage him to hang out with people who don’t smoke. You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make the horse drink. The same concept applies to your brother.
he wont quit just like that…… i know what it’s like but as long as it doesn’t get invovled with school and stuff just let the kid smoke up… i do it when i’m feeling down it helps

why do u want him to stop?
well i would to threaten him, say you will tell your parents and stuff. Smoking weed isnt bad but since it is illegal he shouldnt do it. Once he gets caught then he will realize that you were trying to help him and he will feel guilty. If he continues to smoke try to monitor him and make sure he doesnt do anything stupid. I have done it a few times in the past but i realized that it is stupid and a waste of money. A lot my friends blow a hell lot of money on it every week and that money can be used on other things. Especially if he is using his parents money to spend on weed. Maybe you should take his money away from him or steal it temporarily, if he doesn’t have any money he can’t smoke pot and his friends won’t pay for him every time. You are the older brother try to take charge or help him at least. Hopes this will help.
Tell your parents.
CD:
U can not make him DO anything.. he has to want to DO it for himself
so..
take him and show him some results of where it will get him..
like call the courts system.. or school.. for videos or library
he must have some deep seeded problem, perhaps he needs to
talk w/ a therapist..?
he is trying to be one of his peers.. for low self esteem..?
U have to get to the bottom of his problems.. or this is gonna cuz
him.. and your family big problems..
good luck
tell somebody
*crying* unfortunately I have the same problem with my brother he is 17 and I am his younger sister 13 I was told earlier this year that his hooked on weed and well I knew it was not true….so I totally defended my brother and later confronted him….Last nyt was a huge party going on I didn’t go but some friends of mine did they saw him high,hooked and vomiting all over the place I was shocked to hear this so I CRIED…I confronted him and he was so convinced that he was telling the truth…so did I but I know now that his hooked I want him to STOP NOW and I can’t tell our parents because that would be chaos and unnecessary…I’ve decided to matters into my own hands….was dat ryt !!!
