Roommate Rants 2w
I'm so conflicted. So I get high a lot. I don't smoke cause it travels through the vents and I don't want to be that neighbor/roommate. But I do take edibles and hit my cart pretty often (only in my room). my roommate doesn't like how much I use and he's-

if ur in therapy and discuss this with ur doctors and get high in ways that wont affect ur roommate at all, then he has no right to continue to comment on it. i'd tell him that u respect his concern for u but that ud prefer that he doesn't bring it up again

Starting to make comments about it. It's kind of bothering me because I'm doing everything I can so it doesn't bother him, except now it feels like the action of me being high is bothering him. Its not like I'm talking to him and being weird. I'm just drawing or playing video games, sometimes I go on a walk when it's a nice afternoon and I'm done with homework. I get it if he doesn't agree with my lifestyle but I know my body better than he does. I've taken breaks, put limits when I need to

But he still stands in the kitchen telling me about articles he read on health studies, addiction, and how it might interfere with my meds. I've tried telling him that I'm aware of any risks and that I'm open about my usage with doctors and my therapist. My therapist literally keeps me in check to make sure I'm okay. Yet he still bothers me about this. I don't know. Am I in the wrong here somehow???

As someone who doesn’t get high, but has been around people who get high a lot, it is either concern or he just wants to be able to hang out with you when you’re not high. I had a friend who was constantly high and I felt like we never got to hang out when they were sober, and it was just kind of annoying.

I used to be the sober friend, so I get it. But we go thrifting and check out different cafés around here almost every weekend and I always make sure I'm sober for that. Plus we hang out before class and I never get high before class. I get high most nights, but not every night. It's gotten to the point where he seems to be concerned or judgy anytime in high, even if it's a Friday night when we're not going out together.

I second this. Ultimately it’s none of his business as long as it doesn’t smell/put them both at risk (idk if they’re in a dorm) Like consider if someone was having a drink at night before bed, I don’t think roomie would gaf I think people are just raised differently and have different views on it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i would just ask him to mind his fucking business. unfortunately being nice will only get you so far with people like that. especially since you’ve already addressed this multiple times, have a therapist who monitors your usage, etc. you’re fine. and idk if it’s safe where u are but maybe smoke outside… that way it won’t smell
