Sorry but i don't know what you can do.
Let him do what he does and he'll eventually realise hes runining his life.

It's impossible to be addicted to weed you moron. Research before you talk.

I had the same issue with myself, and my friends.
It's primarily just a social thing at first he/she will say things like "i was so baked last night" "dude let's get a blunt after school" just to legitimately be *cool.
That will wear off, and if it doesn't and it gets extremely bad,
tell them that you are really concerned for there health.

weeds not that bad, just give him an ultimatum between you or the weed or tell him he cant hangout with you if he's high

you can't make him do anything, just try taking to him about it and see what he says, if he is totally unwilling to change and you are really worried about him you could try rehab? But really its up too him

You can't make anyone do anything they don't want to do. If you are concerned then you need to talk to him as a friend and tell him why you are and why you think it would be best if he quits. Don't talk to him like his mom and yell at him for doing it. hope this helps.

dont stop him , you cant get addicted to weed. most people who fall in love with weed stay away from other drugs. just respect the herb.

You can't make him stop necessarily, but maybe you can help with an intervention or otherwise get him to realize he has a problem so he seeks help for his addiction.

u cant really stop him from doing it..he will do what he wants no matter what u say…but just tell him how it makes you feel and u want him to stop or at least slow down with it and maybe quit doing it in the future…or u could do what the other person said and call the police but that might just make him mad at u and its not a guarentee that he will stop…hope this helps

Tell him that you're interested in his well being and give him reasons why to stop. Look up scientific information of what it does to your brain (especially memory) and give him little facts when you're around. Don't print out some thing for him to read- he most likely won't read it. When you have these little tidbits he'll have to listen to you say the little thing.

Your best bet is to talk with this friend and let them know how u feel and tell them u'd like them to stop and if they do then thats good but if they dont you just have to let them do what they want cuz with things like that people have to make up their minds on it

There is absolutely no way you can personally stop him from smoking weed (although the "po po" answer just might work). I'd suggest you just pray for this person if you have faith your prayers will reach God. But I have to wonder why are you so concerned with controlling this person's life? Maybe you should just love on him or her and be more concerned with your own life's happenings? Everyone has to lead their own life and make their own choices. We're not called to influence the choices of others, but to love others. Don't shun your friend and don't look down on your friend. LOVE your friend. That's all you need to do. And honestly there are much worse things your friend could be doing than smoking pot honestly. Just PRAY for your friend and LOVE your friend…. trust me.

Talk to him about the real dangers of what happens when you "smoke weed" because there are lots of dangers that can happen. Go to the live above the influence site to help u out more on this.

alot of people smoke in my family, i want them to stop

I think it really depends on your age.
I'm 14, I had a few friends who did it last year, I was such a Nazi about it I was worried about all my friends so much, I didn't want them to get hurt. So I used to nag them all the time.
Talk to your friend. Don't yell at him but let him know you are truly and sincerely worried, and try to get a reason from him as to why he's doing it, then try to solve the problems that's causing him to do it.
If that doesn't work there isn't much that you can do without being a nark.
A LOT of kids do it. Not saying that because everyone does it it makes it alright, but you're gonna have to get used to it.
Weed is the least dangerous out of all the drugs, and I don't think you can be addicted unless it's laced with heroine or somthing.
You can't die from weed unless you smoke like your whole body weight.

Its a really really hard situation , my boyfriends been addicted for over 4 years, and its REALLY hard because there is NOTHING you can do for someone who has there mind set .. you can offer them advice , or you can try and tell them why its so dangerous and bad for them … you can cry , i've even left him as an ultimatum … it helps for all of 2 days and then everything goes back to normal.. a person will only ever change when THEY themselves see a reason too .. you can try and offer a reason but you cant force them too see a situation in the same light as you. All you can do is be supportive , stay by his side & try and make sure he is not in literal danger … if he is , its time to maybe take some action with his family in terms of rehab or calling the police.. but other than that theres nothing you can really do to change someones lifestyle or path .
good luck ..
I hope he is okay.

1- tell him that by being on this crap thing his brain cells will start to be damaged as days go by (i am serious)
2-tell him it is not cool at all to be always looking like an idiot, and somewhere else , and so spaced, and not engaging in everyday normal activities
3-if has some issues i dnt know let him face them, doing drugs is never an answer , on the contrary it makes matters worse
4-tell him usually people who are addicted on anything are people with no character and no personality and they are not attractive to girls and guys
5-tell him if he want to be someone in the near futur who has a real life he should wake up and rop the weed
6-tell him it is no fun anymore to be around him, you feel he is different you do not enjoy his Company, and u dont want ur reputation to be bad because u r friends with a person who do drugs
7-people who do drugs end up, in suicide, on the streets, no ambition, no family, no jobs
does he want to have that futur
i hope you can persuade him
and if i where u i would talk with his family, girlfriend
to help

Marijuana isn't addictive. It's a lot safer than many people think, but if he has become dependent on it (NOT the same as addicted) he just needs some freaking will power.

Remember, he has to look into the mirror of his own soul.
The best thing to do is to go for a really long strenuous
hike. When your friend runs out of gas, and pot
heads usually do, you ask him what on earth
is going on, you were always the strongest hiker,
remember your not going to win him by telling
him he's a stupid doper. He has got to realize
that weed has effected his abilities , abilities
he wants to keep. And those abilities are slipping
away. Be alittle patient, you develope a whopping
tolerance to weed in 6 mo, at which time you can
ask him, Are your highs as high as when you
first started? If the answer is yes he is lying.
Many people continue weed because they are
chasing their dragon. Which means they want
to get as high as they were the first time.
And that will never never never happen, you
explain: You fool, you are chasing the dragon
you can never ever be as high as you were
the very first time, Each high gets lower and
lower until the day you have to smoke weed
just to feel like you did before you ever smoked weed.
And that is the crazy truth
