if they want to quit, let them sit in front of a mirror and self hypnotize, saying, I am who I am, there is no other, about 10 times, then tune out of the physical, into the mental, knowing that the full and future desire for all drugs are freed from the mind.I quit both cigarettes and wed this way.

if it is only that often nothing to worry about – have a very normal
friend who smokes to help go sleep
have also had neurotic friends whose whole lives socially
revolve around the drug and had a boyfriend who couldn’t do
anything without a smoke – and he ended up crazy
unless you see a deterioation in their mental health – its their
business and probably not harming them but calming him down.
only worry if they get paranoid or unable to function without it
and calm down yourself.
ps don’t touch the stuff myself

Yes– only a few times a month is really nothing to worry about. My lawyer, and doctor both smoke pot regularly and they are very productive, happy, and healthy people!
Dont stress over it…it is only pot. Not crack.

You might be surprised to realize quite a few smoke marijuana a few times a month and are just fine….it is better than drinking every day! Anyway I do not see this being a problem for an adult maybe for a young teenager. I am 30 and I am surprised to see how many people who are in very respectable careers smoke pot on the weekends! I wouldn’t worry so much about this become worried whe they are getting wasted every night and not taking care of there responsibilities.

Marijuana is not physically addicting–but one can become mentally/emotionally dependent on it. You can’t get your friend to stop–he or she must want to stop for themselves (stopping for others does not work).
Everybody handles their stress in different ways. Some smoke cigarettes, some take pills, some have a few drinks every night after work, etc. Some, though, have learned to deal with stress in more constructive ways, such as through meditation and exercise. You might want to check out some books/tapes on meditation and exercise–as well as on stress–from the library. They might help you, if not your friend. It would be great if your friend would do the meditation and exercises with you–tell him or her that it is for you, and maybe he or she will.

Just tell him about the things he can do if he doesnt smoke it. Tell him how bad it is for you. If you google it, it shows a ton of ways it can harm you. And if he gets caught, he could end up in jail.

Tell them how you feel about it. But realise that its their life, and many people choose to smoke pot. You should in fact be happy that its just pot, and that its not regular. 2-3 times a month is nothing, there are people who buy a forty sack a day.
While you might not cosider the things he gets stressed about important, he does, and I’d like to point out that there are people who don’t think your friend smoking pot occasionaly isn’t worth getting stressed about..

if someone only smokes it 2 or 3 times a month then i dont think they have a serious problem and could quit pretty easily. i smoked everyday for 9 years and quit cold turkey with NO PROBLEM. also i think if the only problem like this your friend has is smoking a joint every couple weeks, theyre doin pretty good. there are so many things that are worse. tell your friend youve always got an ear and a shoulder when theyre stressed. good luck
