Is it normal to be against drugs but date a guy who used to do drugs?

Mkay the guy I like used to do drugs like once a month (just weed) about 5+ years ago. Should I dump him because I found out or should I give him a chance or what? I'm worried he might still do it once in a while. He says he hasn't had weed for 5 years, but how do I know if hes telling the truth?

He also smokes and I hate cigarettes, but this guy only has 1 pack a week so I guess its not serious but he says he can't quit. Please help me. I don't want an unhealthy guy that will die of a heart attack, but I really like him.

What should I do? Just see how it goes for 6 months and then see if its worth it? He's so down to earth and friendly, it's scary. This is why I like him. It's hard to find a guy who cares about what you have to say and listens to everything no matter how stupid you sound. Right?

    Sex on drugs is awesome if the feeling is mutual. Eventually, all habits die in my opinion. Go for it, try it if you want to. Some like it some don't. Alcohol, pot, coke, meth, horse smack... everybody has their crutch. It's when the crutch becomes priority over the bedroom, then that's going to be a problem. Get your rocks off and make sure ya'll get to work early the next morning.

    In fact you should dump him if he NEVER smoked weed.

    Weed? I thought you said he once did drugs. Lol, seriously though...if you are looking for perfection you're going to be one lonely little girl. I understand you not liking that he smokes but it is his decision and his body. You have to decide if you like him for who he is or only because of what he does. Try talking to him...

    I can totally understand where you're coming from. You are not "prude", you're realistic- weed is a gateway drug and cigarettes are severely damaging. If you feel that drugs are eventually going to tear you apart, I would maintain the relationship as 'just friends'. There are plenty of fish in the sea, and I'm sure a bit of you may pity the fact a sweet guy like him is addicted to nicotine and that's why you're still with him. Each to his or her own, though.

    weed is getting legalized not bcuz its dangerous! If he said he had beer that often would it b any different? Its about the same as beer.

    Just weed, eh? I can't believe you're actually considering to dump him because he smoked weed. Weed is on of the safest things you can be one. So what if he used to be on "drugs", it's not like he's on them now and even if he was you'd probably be too silly to give him some support towards getting better!

    I think many people's comments are a little bit harsh, I understand where you're coming from, as I would not like to be in a serious relationship with someone who smokes weed. I do not think it's prudish, merely a lifestyle choice and a preference in partnership, like how some people are vegetarian or how some people won't date someone who doesn't exercise regularly. But, I think since he quit 5 years ago, perhaps you are being a little paranoid, i don't think think you should dump him :)

    you're being really REALLY paranoid.

    my BF smokes pot, cigarettes and drinks like a fish. i do 2 and 3--to some extent--but not one. and we are still somewhat functioning in a relationship.

    If you foresee this being a problem that you can't let go of without trying to change him eg, getting him to quit...then its probably not a relationship you want to be in.

    Well He doesn't do it anymore, so its good right? As long as he truly loves you. Try to get him to quit the cigs too though eh? Be like "do it for your health, and for me, and our future family" smoking cigs is worse than weed, so, get him to stop.

    Stop being such a prude about 'drugs', cannabis is no worse than alcohol and far better than tobacco. He no longer does it so why should you define your relationship over what he once enjoyed in the past? Your closed minded attitude appears to have led you to confuse cannabis with the addictive properties of other much more serious drugs.
