LOL...well I had it framed so well..
Anyway. I'm very much anti-marijuana. I tried it about 10 years ago, realized the people I was with who were doing it were losers and very much content with accomplishing nothing in life and letting it pass them by. I ran across one of my old friends from back then recently,,and he's still in the same place he was back then..which is sad. So anyway..my wife recently befriended us a couple, and it turns out they're very much into marijuana. They've asked my wife a few times if she'd like to try it and she said "No" to them, but then to me admitted she's curious what it was like, since she's never tried it. She knows how I feel about it and I suppose that influences her to say no, even though she's curious. So my question..should I lay off a bit and let her experience it, if that is what she really wants? Or..after seeing that same lackadaisical attitude in our new friends (they're dropping out of college and by their own admission have been smoking more),,should I hold on to my stance and try to steer my family (my wife and I, in our young 20's) AWAY from that behavior?
Of course I wouldn't go so far as to say who her friends could be. And to their credit, they know not to bring it up around us, not to smoke around us, not to drive in the same car as us (since they always have tons on them),,that we just don't want any part of that lifestyle. They're good people, I just hate seeing them glazed over and acting like idiots,,and rather than studying, smoking all the time. My wife and I are both studying to be in the health care field and are doing great in school..just to my mind, we don't need the diversion, and their lifestyle and goals are nothing to envy, so why copy them?
Your thoughts? Do you think I'm being "controlling and forcing my view" on my wife?
