Oluwasaeon:
You mentioned he's been smoking when you people were younger. I guess you leave him and let him be, as long as it's in moderation. Weed is not bad. You're lucky to have such a gangster dad

Compliments of the season to all nairalanders...

Please I noticed a disturbing scenario playing in my house as I came back for xmas... My 67yr old dad use to smoke weed (Igbo) in our sitting room.

When we were younger, he use to smoke outside and occasionally smokes around the house especially late in the night or in the wee hours.

As a matter of fact I'm 30yrs and I have another younger brother who's 27yrs then my sister who's the youngest. But Non of us smoke weed or have toed in his line... My mother has tried in that aspect not to raise us like that!!!

I brought this issue here because I need help on how to make my aging dad DESIST from that lifestyle... It breaks my heart seeing him popping smoke like that and it's degrading when we have visitors in the house... And secondly I'm wary of his health!!!

Pls help a Brother!!!

Do you hear your mum moaning every night?
Your dad is gonna be a good fucker in bed.
Your mum can't just help it. She likes it.

mariahAngel:
At this stage, there's little or nothing you can do about it.
Besides, marijuana is not bad, just the abuse of it.
How many times does he smoke it in a day?

oz4real83:
I can feel your pain. Imagine having your visitor seeing your father smoking weed . It looks degrading on you especially with the way we associate weed to irresponsible people in Nigeria. You can only pray now, nothing more. He feels he owns and can do anything in his home especially now that he sees u and your siblings as adults that should be on their own for him to have his privacy to do anything in his home. He used to smoke in secret when you were young but openly does it now that u are adults to show u that he knows what he is doing

Emperormartin:
twice, thrice according to my mum. I don't stay in family house with them. I only visit on festive seasons

mariahAngel:

If you can get him to reduce it to once a day at least, or twice at most, I believe it won't do him harm.
Does he have a good appetite for food?

internationalman:
That weed is what's making your mum happy

Please don't take the source of her happiness away from her.

If you know you know.

Emperormartin:

Yes he eats well

mariahAngel:


Then, that's fine.

As humans, I believe we all need some kind of stimulant to keep us active.
Mine is caffeine in tea. It is almost all the same.
Tea might seem harmless, but too much of it is bad also.

Emperormartin:

Alright thanks. But I'm wary of his age

mariahAngel:


Advise him to go easy on it, once a day at least and to be more discreet about it.

ChingaOne:
Why don't you take him to the nearby police station

majamajic:
Don't stop him now

It's late

Emperormartin:

We were young and in primary Schools. He use to hide when doing it. We didn't have much option then. But now we've grown. He's still doing it...and we don't smoke!!!
We just want to help him
