Would you guys break up with your SO if they started smoking medical marijuana because of anxiety?

Question

Accepted Answer

Would you break up with your significant other for taking Tylenol for a headache? 
No, right? That’s crazy. 
There’s nothing wrong with marijuana. It’s a plant. If it was my husband I would be glad he found something that helped.

Answer

Not right away unless it becomes a problem. I’d try to help them through fit first as best as I can.

Answer

Absolutely not, my Husband & I both smoke marijuana due to mental illness. I also use it for pain, I have Endometriosis and had Cervical Cancer. It was only thing that helped me.

Answer

It’s a plant

Answer

My husband smokes weed pretty much every night after our baby goes to bed. He is a great husband and father. It helps him unwind. I don’t see it as any different than having a drink at night. It’s legal where we live.
Especially if it’s prescribed for anxiety, I don’t see the issue. If the smell bothers you he can get edibles.

Answer

No but he would have to smoke it at the other end of my back yard and strip down before he walks ang where near my home because the smell of marijuana triggers my severe migraines 🤷🏻‍♀️ I have smell triggered migraines and this so happens to be one of the smells that does it. But I wouldn’t leave my spouse , my husband smoked when we first got together pre kids and quite when I became prenat with our first so if he was going back to it then there is a serious reason as to why

Answer

If it was done illegally, yes. For medical reasons, no

Answer

Yes, I would! Honestly, it's not for everyone. I think everybody that voted no, either smokes or did or doesn't mind it. I do.
You asked if you would break up if he STARTED TO. As in, he probably never did. And it's a new change for the both of you.
Now, don't get me wrong. I have nothing against other people's choices in life. I have no problem with people smoking or using marijuana for whatever reasons. I just wouldn't hang out with them. I wouldn't ditch someone close if I found out they've tried it or did it in the past, I just wouldn't be close to someone using it regularly and/or in the present.
This is my reasoning. Marijuana although 'harmless' affects your brain and your responses making you calmer and slower.  I don't want my friends, let alone my partner like that. I'm sorry, but it isn't for everyone. I want him to be fully functioning, alert and awake. It's how I like to live my life. I don't see how a partner who smokes marijuana for any reason is a good match for me, and I believe there are many others sharing my point of view. I like a mature and responsible adult and marijuana alters that (for a short period of time, I'm not saying that anyone using it is immature or irresponsible in general, it's just for the time being).
Yes, I would break up. It's a lifestyle change that doesn't align with mine. Me and my partner both smoke cigarettes and even though they are toxic and extremely harmful, don't affect the brain and it's functioning. But anything that alters the brain even for a short period of time, I'm not okay with.
If my partner started drinking, I would also break up. It's a lifestyle change. Although we drink on special ocassions, it's never a lot (glass of champagne/wine on birthdays) and never to the point of being in an altered state of mind (and legally still be able to drive).
You do what you think is best for you. If you don't like his new lifestyle change, you have every reason to get out, if the roles are reversed and he left you because you started smoking, he has every reason to get out. If you don't mind, you have every reason to stay. It's up to every individual.
If anyone is curious, me and my partner have tried it once and hated it. Hated the whole experience. Never again. But that's just us 🤷‍♀️
