Weed is not as bad as people make it look.

Weed is knowledge, it elevate and pronounces your thought. The problem with weed is that many has negative/bad thought. Check out the history of American president, all of them are weed smoker down to Obama and Trump.

My opinion, core weed smokers excel in their craft if given necessary too so just leave the young man, don't frustrate him... Check @MyGanjaMind on IG and learn from this guy.

When God created Adam and eve in the garden of Eden, the fruit (good and evil) he commanded them not to eat from Is weed! Weed back in days used to be a big tree that bear fruit, on Jan 1st, California legalize Cannabis/weed, Mike Tyson got 40arcres to grow weed, there are engineers already working to domesticate weed back to the stage where the leaves won't be smoke again but the fruit will be plucked and suck.


Leave your brother and let him reason his life joor. Besides, you've never stated that he display any form of lunanic... The young man has the most strongest element of knowledge, you can't understand.

Don't mind these ignorant people. Scientific studies have shown that NOT ONE PERSON ON EARTH has ever died as a result of smoking cannabis. There is no provable link between cannabis smoking and 'madness'. ZERO, NADA, NOTHING WHATSOEVER. The REAL DANGERS are nicotine cigarettes and alchohol, which can pose problems if used in excess.

The people here talking down at the ''weed smoker'' are most likely doing more to risk their own health than he is, by drinking multiple bottles of Star, Gulder, and Hennesey, and smoking cigarettes. THEY need ''rehabilitation'' before that cannabis guy. Just last week the state of California legalized cannabis for recreational use, following many other states in the US. Their decision was based on scientific facts, and research, showing the relative harmlessness of cannabis, not myth, superstition, and ignorance as practised in Nigeria, where the dumb, know-nothing govt maintains a legal ban on its use.

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?

Most addictions can be traced to any of the following reasons 1, when someone isn't able to bond properly with his environment 2, when someone just can't bear to live in his life the way it is 3, peer influence and the longing for brotherhood 4, unresolved anger or pain and not being able to express his/her feelings
Re: My Brother Is Addicted To Weed And Now Tutolin, HELP! by koolaid87: 10:06pm On Jan 04, 2018
My question is... Is he performing his responsibilities and being career minded?

If yes, then let him be..

That is his choice... just remind of him of the consequences of his actions.

We Afrikaans like to dey Boss

This guy no b minor

As long as he's doing well with himself then it's all good.

I smoke Mary J for relaxations once in a while and I'm doing well for myself.

Weed is hallucinogenic, it'll play with one's head and thought, tamper with your sense of reasoning, alters the functioning of ones brain and opens a dark path for you. . .

Let me tell you what you don't know:
Some people smoke, drink and sniff all whatnot yet live healthier and longer than those who think they would die. You may die before this young man even when you think you are clean and free. That is the reality of life.

Not that i encourage anyone to smoke or drink, but i think your comment above is insensitive to say the least.

Shut the fck up....Have you smoked it to know if it opens ''dark path'' or ''light path''? If it was the former, you should've changed your supplier. And yes, it is true that cannabis can ''tamper'' with your ''sense of reasoning''. But much of the ''tampering'' is very positive. Artistes get inspiration. Philosophers gain new insights. Writers are more creative. If used responsibly, cannabis is a GOOD thing.

Because the system wants to limit you, and keep you in your little box, so you don't 'think above your station', and challenge them, they demonise and ban cannabis, because they know it lets you transcend the limits they have set for you.

That's your opinion and thoughts, if you smoke weed, you won't reasoning beyond that boarderline. Trust me, I researched into weed, before you criticise weed, criticise panadol, paracetamol, weed is a medicine and yes, it may have negative influence that's when you take it too much. Too much of everything is bad!

He'll try to deny it , but give him your shoulders to lean on...He doesn't need someone that will shout at him or judge him, but he needs a friend... I believe you're in a better position to help him.

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...

The funniest thing on earth is seeing people who consume beer and cigarettes, which research has shown ARE dangerous, condemning cannabis users, for whom research shows OTHERWISE.

In fact DRINKING COKE is more dangerous than using cannabis.

Bro, leave those people, they can never attain the level of wisdom because the way the society has painted weed smokers.

Let me drop a little lecture on scientist philosophers.
Socrates, achimedes, Plato etc were ordinary being until they started smoking weed and channel their energy to project into the future.


A philosopher was killed because he said he saw a boat flying, they said he was preaching heresy, 300yrs after, the weight brother made aeroplane. Give me a great man today who is doing fine in his path, I'll tell you he's a weed smoker.

We need to orientate you guys about weed, weed is not bad but the thought the society had about it made it look bad hence it pronounces bad side of people. Yet I'll still say, too much of everything is obviously bad. My 2cent.

Of course you are right. The people attacking cannabis here patronise Nigerian artistes and can kill themselves to attend their concerts and buy their music etc. EVERY SINGLE ONE of those artistes is a cannabis user, and would not be able to make such great music without the inspiration they get from herb. Davido, 2baba, Tekno, Wizzy, Femi Kuti, Lagbaja, Ruggedman, P Square, Tiwa Savage, Don Jazzy, Patoranking, Iyanya... all of them smoke herb!!

I wonder o. In fact, I'm creating a trend to show people that good side of weed so if a new user want to take it, it will brighten his/her mind.

The best set of friends/boss I've had deals/work with are weed smokers, they are high risk takers, and they do their job without feeling whatever loss they may incur and 95% of their trades comes positive. When non-weed smokers are still thinking if to execute a trade or not, they are already making profit.

The OP brother needs mentoring. I don't do cod or tut or rhol but talking about cannabis, Na the best medicine with the right limit.
