Hm, I’m guessing suburbanite and people who smoke aren’t in as mutually-exclusive groups as you think.

Nah, he’ll return. He always does to create another topic that he could easily post in his blog.

Pshaw, weed smokers are for chumps. I prefer a weed [burner](http://www.amazon.com/Ridge-Rock-Propane-Burner-Torch/dp/B001NDK8C8) instead.

Ah man, but watching analog TV is so much better after a quick hit of the smoker.

You can also roll joints with the pages out of a Bible. So you’d better throw out all the Bibles too.

Seriously, why do people think they are entitled to control the choices of other people? OP, it’s not your place to pass judgment on your roommate’s pot smoking. Frankly, it’s none of your damn business, right up until your rights are infringed by his bad habits. Example: He burns the house down, your place gets infested with bugs due to lack of cleaning, nobody else in the house can eat anything because all the dirty dishes are in his room. When things like that happen, then you have the right to ask for a behavior change only to the extent that the behavior directly affects you.

I don’t let my roommate blow pot smoke on me when I’m dressed for work and about to go to work. I can’t be showing up at the office smelling like a Dutch coffee house! Asking my roomie to blow his smoke the other way, or even if I leave the room while he is smoking solves the problem. If it makes him lazy and fat from a steady diet of M&Ms and Cheetos, that is not your problem. If it makes him unemployed so he cannot pay the rent, then it’s your problem too. The solution is not so much to vandalize or destroy someone else’s property, but to either move out or find a roommate whose behavior doesn’t fuck up your life. If your current roommate is not fucking up your life, but is only fucking up his own, then it’s none of your business and you can just sit down and shut up.

Do you do everything Marc Bolin tells you to?
