Asking Eric: Son Judges Parents’ Marijuana Use

The couple smokes cannabis legally four times weekly but feels monitored and judged by their adult child who previously used marijuana with them.

  • A couple in their early 70s say they enjoy marijuana now that it is legal in their state but feel policed and judged by their adult child who lives independently nearby.
  • Up to a year ago the adult child who lives independently but close by sometimes smoked marijuana with the couple, and had health issues that have since been treated.
  • Between them, the couple smokes one joint after 7 p.m. about four days a week, saying they avoid `far out` states and would Uber for emergencies.
  • R. Eric Thomas advises starting a neutral conversation and asking, `I've noticed that when we smoke, you often comment,` to clarify concerns and possibly decide on boundaries.
  • It makes them uneasy in their own home when their adult child judges their marijuana use, so the couple sometimes sneaks use and says it's none of the child's business.
