Coming up on 29 years together; he smokes on a daily basis. It's not my thing, however, I think we'll be okay.While the anecdotal evidence is mixed, one recent study demonstrated that cannabis consumption can impact how couples interact. In a survey of nearly 1,000 people involved in a relationship in which at least one person used cannabis, 24.3 percent of the men said that they or their partner didn’t smoke weed before becoming a couple, but they both do now, and 22.6 percent of women said much the same. Nearly 10 percent of all participants reported that they and their partners started smoking weed together, while around 50 percent of them agreed that sex is better when both partners use marijuana.
Maybe couples who toke together really do stay together.
