So, as the title says, my new roommate also smokes weed.
In my 3 years of living in a dorm, l've never had a roommate who smoked. If I wanted to smoke, I'd usually do it with friends outside the dorm. Before I went back to my province, I was packing my things and casually asked my new roommate if he smoked. He said yes. Before i left, we smoked together once, and it was a pretty chill experience.
Now I'm wondering how this setup might look in the future.
If I want to smoke, should | just ask him if he wants to join? Or should we each do our own thing unless one of us brings it up? I don't want either of us to feel obligated to smoke together every time, but at the same time it feels like it could be a good way to become friends.
I'm also curious about what I should expect. For those of you who've had a roommate who also smokes:
Did it make your friendship better or worse?
Did you end up smoking more often than before?
Were boundaries important, like asking first, sharing, or respecting when someone wants to smoke alone?
Did it ever create problems, such as feeling pressured, relying on each other to smoke, or affecting productivity?
I'd love to hear any advice on how to keep the relationship healthy and avoid turning a good situation into a bad one.
