Op, sorry, got no advice now, I almost got my head chopped off yesterday on California legalizing Marijuana, I haven't recovered from that...before someone will come and tell me how beneficial it is to health, forgetting that these things and addiction no be here.

Sorry about your bro though

The weed Nation are supporting their comrade. Keep giving him reasons to quit smoking and sipping purple, it's more of self conviction. Above all pray for divine intervention.

Op, just keep praying he changes his way, consulting the whole village won't stop him it only takes the grace of God and self decision to quite smoking . If he doesn't live a wayward life, you can help him get a good job with nice environment so he can associate with classic men and women. By doing that he can easily see reasons to drop the bad habit . Remember environment we find ourselves matters alot!!

Take him to a Rehab,i know of the one at the Neuro-psychiatric hospital in Kaduna,its quiet effective but then he must be willing....be closer to God,pray and fast on his behalf cos that addiction can't be broken easily

I do weed also. But 1. Try and identify your brother's friend status, if they are better than him. Please I beg of you tell your parent ASAP. 2. If his a very rugged guy that all his intake does not affect his way of life, let him understand blue, codeine etc can shorten his lifespan he need to abstain from it.

Hello Fam!

This is something I wish I wouldn't have to do but I am left with no option as I am at the crossroads.

My brother started smoking lets say about 6-5 years ago, I only got to find out 3 years. He is my immediate elder brother so we are pretty much close, we are also from a Christian family and I can assure you that we were brought up very well. We have other elder siblings (boys).

From his story, I found out he started smoking when he got into University. He got into the federal university in my state and since we weren't based there, he lived alone in the family house.

This is someone who got into school and for his first year studying engineering, he had a very strong 2.1 and bagged Agbami scholarship. Fast forward to 3 years later, he dropped to a 2.2(which he later graduated with) and lost his Agbami scholarship. This same year he came home for hols and started being all by himself. One way or the other, my parents caught him smoking one day, dad scolded him, mum did same but later on went to plead with him to stop. He promised he would but still went back to smoking.

Right now before he goes to someone's house to maybe spend few days he would ask questions like: is there a backyard, is there a lone time in the house? Privacy etc, just so he would smoke.

He smokes weed EVERY single DAY!!!
And now he is getting really slim, anytime I try to talk to him about it he gets angry and walks away.

Just few days ago I noticed he has been drinking something he calls "purple"(he mixes it with maybe coke or ChiExotic). I went into his room and saw a bottle of tutolin which is obviously his "purple". I asked him why he was drinking it, he said he felt like and I told him I was gonna tell someone in the family.

NOW TO MY QUESTION

Should I go ahead and tell a family member/all or I should keep talking to him?

Tutolin is bad way worse than weed attacks organs

Haha.. You don't talk someone out of an addiction.. Never!!!.. Smoking and masturbation are two terrible ones.. ND your brother is into smoking.. It only takes the grace of God. ND I'm serious.. He can't stop on his own.. Never!!!.. Even if he stays away .after 3days he'd hide to do it... Go to a church like MFM or Deeperlife or maybe lords chosen and seek help...

Nigerian Youths. Which one is tutolin again.

Rehab dont work its only make it worst have had friends who went to rehab thrice

dhope001:
He needs rehabilitation

ChiefPiiko:

mssrosa:

Masturbation can be stopped when one is married

There are to extent masturbation will reach, you chairman will no longer rise at sight of women. Even if the woman is miss world and naked before U, it will not make a move. It is called chronic masturbation. And when u reach to this climax, there is no coming back. You'll be heading to self destruction. No remedy at this stage.

@poster you are handling the issue in a totally wrong way.You are being judgemental and stern which is an instant turn off for an addict.The first thing you need to do is to understand him,dont just understand him tell him that you get his difficulty in dropping the habit.Then promise him that you will not judge him but support him every step of the way, encourage the rest of the family not to abuse him, judge him or give up on him.And you will be surprised how much easier it will be for him to give up.Another thing is that it is not uncommon for people to give up and then relapse several times, you will be tempted to chastise him for dropping off the wagon but don't,tell him not to worry that it happens then start again.
This approach is why you see many white people able to give up their drug habit, while black people find it more difficult.What an addict needs is a supportive and non judgemental family support

There is a demon behind every addiction. The only way is Jesus.
Reading the bible with your heart alone can cast some of these spirits out.
The only way is to pray for him.

all i could say 4 now is, if he' a church goer, inform his pastor so pastor can diligently counsel him and monitor him

ChiefPiiko:
That's one of the things I am thankful for, I am only a social smoker of Cuban cigarettes and that's it for me. Drugs ruin people slowly, It's one of the hardest addictions to curb, involve your family members and a larger audience to see if he will listen to wise counsel

Are for real Chief

boolet:
Don't look at rehab as an option, he will end up messed up. He needs to be willing to quit first, as in, realising the need to even though he is still into it. That is a first and most important step. Next he needs a girl, help him find one, whi will love him and nag him.... At first he will sneak around, slowly but gradually. Also register him in the gym, activities to take his time. Above all, PRAY. I smoked weed for 10yrs and I've been clean for 5years without no urge...

how did u overcome yours?

Na D Tin Wey Dey Sweet Person Dey Kill Am
Am Sorry To Say . Na D Weed Go Kill Am

Your brother took my rizzla

please take him​ to MFM by the time his through with their 3days fasting his brain will "be all correct sir!"

Just take him to MFM prayer city NOW!

That is where he will undergo serious deliverance

People underestimate the power of prayers ...but just go to MFM....and thank me later...

But my question is ....is he ready to be delivered?

Is not by force oo....he must be ready himself to be free.

I don't agree with you on d weed issh...but d tutolin is really dangerous if one becomes addicted....am a living witness to dat....he should substitute it to rum...because seizure no b play play smting

dopedan:
That purple is probably codeine. Well i smoke weed on a low im not sure if the advice to give him

I smoke weed all day so I don't know what to say! These drugs are quite damn addictive! All these are just youthful exuberance and soon it'll all stop by God's immesurable grace and mercy , Obi cannot be a boy forever! Avoid Drugs!
