Marijuana has been used as an aphrodisiac for thousands of years, yet ironically it has also been used to decrease sexual desire. It effects everyone differently.

20 years is a long time... I know that for my friends who have been smoking every day for only like 5 years, don't even get high anymore. As your husband says, it just helps them relax. Their tolerance is built up so high now marijuana doesn't do that much except let them chill out.

Do you want it to enhance his sexuality? I would think after this long, it probably just keeps him level.

After 20 years as his wife, if you do not know by now whether smoking pot has affected his sex drive, I suggest taking him to bed and finding out. If he cant get it up, he has smoked too much! Dont worry, at least he's not drinking, or doing 'real' drugs.

I am only 21 but I also smoke pot everyday to relax and help me eat as I have stomach problems. I have done much research on marijuana and its chemical content. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the chemical that "gets you high". This chemical is also a natural afrodisiac. The effect differs depending on the person. I personally can tell the difference!

Get out now!!!!!! Mood swings will only get worse and it will be all your fault. The kids will find out eventually. Don't be a fool. I will pray you do the rite thing.

This is actually what has eventuated into typical addiction. Dr. Drew runs a marijuana recovery clinic and people who come to use habitually, i.e., every day, for any reason, eventuate toward addiction and generally don't consider, want to consider, or truly desire to quit until the end of 10 year increments of use. 20 years is a common incremental termination of desire to stop using, because of the manner in which accustomization to a constant sense of reality allows for a feeling of change of it, such as when marijuana use begins, i.e., in the beginning of use a person enjoys the CONTRAST between one comprehension of their environment while sober and their comprehension of that same environment while high...It is the contrast that is desirable because of our inborn sense of curiosity that we have as human beings; in other words, it's interesting. The true point of desire to quit smoking marijuana comes when a person completely exhausts their palate of notice of differentiation between what they remember as when they were sober and there state of being high and that takes many years to accomplish this task of experiencing contrast between the two states to the point of boredom. When this happens there is only the concerns of health that remain and give reason to stop using marijuana. The physical health dilemma of respiration and the mental health dilemma of the constant struggle to remember why NOT to fear a worst case scenario in any given life situation, i.e., paranoia. Well, he's at the 20 year mark, and that's cool...the more intelligent a person is the more quickly they saturate the curiosity of contrast between the two states of sober and high and start paying attention to the health concerns and alleviate their stress in life through the recuperation that comes from no longer getting high, and that generally takes about 3 months or a little longer, no biggie, but a person HAS to reach that point of saturation of their palate of desire for the observation of the contrast between the sober and high state of being before they TRULY will quit using. It's just the way that it is; nobody is a bad person for running this gamma; it's just the way that humans are made; that's all. danckert4@hotmail.com

it enhances yourr enjoyment of sex but reduces your motivation to get it

you might want to smoke too!!! That might be the best of both worlds ;) of course you know it is illegal until we elect Ron Paul!!

My husband and I lived together almost eight months before getting married. While we were living together, I didn't notice how often he smoked pot. Now that I know, I am fed up with two things 1) that I am doing it!!!!! and 2) how much he DEPENDS on it. I am thinking of giving him 30 days to come up with a plan where he smokes it only around his friends at there place and completely get it out of our home, or we get a divorce. We have a good marriage and friendship in almost every other way. I could use your help to decide what to do. Since it probably bothers me more that I'm using than his using, let me explain where I am and why my feelings are so strong. Because he puts it in rolling tobacco and use such a small amount, there is no smell. Thought I'd point that out first for those of you who wonders how I could not have known. (I knew he used pot because I saw the little bags in our desk drawer, but didn't realize how often.) I first started to use pot to help me with my period cramps. It helped. Within months I was using it to celebrate the end of the work week, to help relieve stress after a hard day, and on some level, because he seemed to like me a little better when we did it together. I'm now fully aware of pots' effects on me: When I use, I feel I'm more lazy, crazy (really, I freaking talk to myself and feel paranoid), don't sleep as well and have issues that I don't want in my life. SO FAR, I haven't had a problem quitting, but I do have a problem staying quit. I know it's in the house so it becomes an option for me when something difficult or stressful come up. This turns into a month-long (or longer) stint where I chain smoke these pot-laced cigarettes after work and on weekends. Once I catch myself, I'll quit. I then stay quit for 2-3 months then something happens and I repeat the cycle. I'm now two years into this pattern and don't want to get to a point where I'm no longer able to quit. I know myself to have an addictive personality and know that this is a real possibility. My husband thinks his habit is harmless; just like his one beer a night habit. He's been doing pot for about 16 years now (he's turning 31 soon). Pot doesn't seem to have the effect on him that it does on me...probably because of how long he's been using. Still, his habit bugs me! It bugs me because every "cigarette" has pot in it, so he's a round the clock user. I have no problem with occasional use. My husband doesn't see himself quitting unless someone he respects shows him evidence that it does detrimental harm. If I gave him an ultimatum, I believe he'd choose pot over me. He would think I don't accept him for who he is and that I'm believing propaganda. His brother also rolls his own tobacco and has the same habit. He's a 49 year old loser in my opinion. I think my husband could end up just like him. It bugs me how much he depends on pot and how much he defends it. Question for everyone is, do I have the right to ask him to take it out of the house completely? We live in a Manhattan studio apartment and he now smokes on the balcony. We came up with that solution a while ago. For me though, that doesn't seem to be enough. I'm conflicted as to whether it's me that have the problem because I can't keep away if it's available or whether I have a right to tell someone how to live their life.

20 years is a long time, if it has not harmed him thus far probably it will never. Willie Nelson does it all the time and he 75 or so i think. I think people should chill out about this damn pot deal, millions take Tylenol and so many other drug for anxiety etc... this is the same the difference is that it has a smell and it's 100% natural. Just let people be, but you have the full right to not smell something you don't like. As jesse Ventura said recently he never heard of a guy smoke up and beat his wife but we all have heard of husbands who cause havoc coming home drunk which is legal. If you ask emergency room personnel what case they see most almost anywhere in the world you will be told alcohol (check the UK rooms). So that's it, very simple and get over it. If it is making you smoke and you don't want then make sure he does it away from you. Enjoy life while it's here...... and chill it's not that serious!!

I married a man just like dear old dad- a constant pot smoker. Naturally, I have been raised to accept it as 'OK', all my friends and parents friends throughout my entire life have smoked pot. But, I don't smoke (like many people, I did smoke some, but quit in high school) Its been 20 years, I have watched my dad become completely useless and lazy, and my husband has decided to retire at 40 with absolutely no savings and 4 children. He just doesnt care, he wants to do what he wants to do. Both of them are extrememly charismatic and very popular among their pot smoking friends. My mom is ok with it- she has a good job and can support dad, but I am contemplating suicide. I only get shutoff notices and we don't have enough wood to last the winter. Make sure you can support him, if you plan to marry a heavy smoker.
