Some daily marijuana users are using it to cope with other issues. So, if you’re prone to anger and irritability, smoking too much or not enough might exacerbate existing problems. Some studies have suggested that very heavy use might even damage the reward circuitry in the brain.

It may not cause anger issues, but it can definitely exacerbate them. My stepfather was an angry dick a lot of the time, but he was 10 times worse when he was stoned because everything that upset him (i.e., everything) was “ruining his high.” We learned very quickly to stay as far away from him as possible when he was…

I totally agree you shouldn’t marry someone hoping they’ll change, but I think sometimes two immature people marry and think they’re both OK as they are, but if one of them grows up a little and makes some positive changes, he/she can then see the damage the immature partner is still doing to the family.

Stoners not having anger issues is actually a pretty big misconception. I’ve known plenty who are far from the happy panda stereotype. At the very least, people who are ALWAYS high tend to be incredibly unpleasant if they are in a situation where they can’t smoke. When I was younger it was acquaintances who knew they…

Don’t forget the part where women are required to pick up the slack with a smile on our face and a song in our heart.

So what? Maybe he made promises he failed to keep. We don’t know 99% of what went on so speculation is a waste of time.

Says “substance abuse.” I think it has more to do with drinking.

I thought it was pretty well-established he was a pothead, but beyond crazy religious parents of teenagers, I’ve never heard anyone describe smoking pot as “substance abuse issues.” Similarly, I know lots of people who have had pothead husbands, and none of them divorced them for it. But I know a ton of people who…

Yeah, my husband was a passive aggressive dick when I married him. I just didn’t really know it until we had more kids together.

Maybe it wasn’t a problem until it started negatively impacting the kids?

I don’t think this is about that. You don’t get into screaming matches in front of the kids and end up shoving one, however accidental it may have been, because you’re smoking too much pot.

That, and when you’re talking about substance abuse coupled with anger issues (if any of those things are really true) things become a lot more “real.” Like, you can be a stoner and maybe smoke a little too much and not have that be grounds for divorce or a custody fight - maybe just some marital spats and discussions…

A lot of stuff is more tolerable when you aren’t parents. And then when it isn’t being reflected back to you by your teenage children.

I was an extra on a episode coming out next year. They had a casting call and a local restaurant got in on the publicity. We signed NDA not to discuss. I know the house was purchased beforehand. Everyone from the realtor to the show producers are in on it. All the scenes are manufactured down to them walking into the…

My friend knows this, but will say stuff like, “This is so crazy you know it’s not staged!” I love her... but come on.

I’ll concede the attractiveness and the friendship with Amy Sedaris. it’s mostly the skinny jeans that I find insufferable.

Oh gawd I lolled at a Trump tweet? Well, guys, now I have to call it for the day. Good shabbas

Damn, that man is cold!

because he has people to take the fall for him.

Oops...looks like Trump might not give him a pardon after all.
