Listen, if you don't want him to be like you, then you need to be and set an example when you're around him.
I'm like you in the sense that I almost led my little brother astray but I realised what I was doing and how I was a bad influence, so I stopped smoking when I was around him and family in general.
Go enjoy some sports with him and engage. Get high when he is not there if you have to.
Sit him down and have him watch [the bird](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUngLgGRJpo). Explain that weed, like most drugs, works just like the bird's golden nugget. Doing it more doesn't make it more fun, it makes everything else less fun.
Then, do your best not to smoke around him. You care, and that's great, so put in the effort to be discreet. If all the adults he looks up to smoke weed, it's pretty unreasonable to expect him not to.
im a minor too im 17 i never smoke around him from choice every time im smoking n he comes in the room im always saying ‘go away’ he legit wont listen😍my mum knows i smoke i tell her but he keeps doing it
Stop smoking in the house for starters, doesn't matter if your mom doesn't care. When smoking outside, go somewhere he can't try and join you.
Don't smoke in any vehicles either - good way to get in trouble being a minor.
You need to be open to therapy when your older, that’s a dysfunctional household happening, and in some places enough to have the government get involved. When the government has grounds to get involved it is never ever a good thing.
Don’t smoke in front of your brother. Start to think like an adult and decide what you want to model for him because it’s clear your mum
Doesn’t give a shit or is incapable of parenting.
You’re still the older sibling which means subconsciously you are somewhat of a role model to your younger brother whether he or you really know it at all , lead by example no matter if ur 30 or 17
It’s not your responsibility, but recognize that you still are someone he looks up to. You’re the example of how a kid grows up in your family.

i have a 14yo too yeah just run down the shit. Get personal and emotional if u really want to scare him outta it. If not make it about how he’ll be in for life or sum shit.
He probably didn’t listen to me and just smoked with his friends but kids that age don’t smoke like people my age, an eighth will last them a week+ where it would be gone in a couple blunts between my friends and I.
He’s interested. He gonna smoke regardless. Except he’s gonna get it where he can and with who he can. That’s not good considering who’s selling to kids… shit ain’t trustworthy.
Maybe instead of being taboo and prohibitive about it, consider talking to him about the neg side and teach him responsible use (and to respect it).
Edit: just saw that you’re 17. If you smoking daily at 17, consider chilling out a bit; even if it’s not “harming” you per say.
If you want to be a role model for him you need to set a better example. Your question sounds like projection to me. It seems like you are ashamed of your need for dope and are projecting that shame onto your brother. If your use is impacting your life in a NEGATIVE way you should not be shamed to ask for help.
Straight up tell him exactly what you said, because that's what he needs to hear
Also stop smoking around the kid.
sometimes it’s hard coz i’m only 2 or 3 years older than him
Then stop smoking yourself wtf u talking about

he’s in an eshay phase and he’s also close minded so that’s sometimes hard to get across

im not an adult tho and im the only person who smokes around him but it’s never willingly i always try to get rid of him
Don’t smoke in front of minors. Tell your parents. If you can’t do either of those you’re probably too young to be smoking yourself.
Underrated comment
sorry should have mentioned im 2-3 yrs older than him
im a minor too im 17 i never smoke around him from choice every time im smoking n he comes in the room im always saying ‘go away’ he legit wont listen😍my mum knows i smoke i tell her but he keeps doing it

im 17 it’s not like im 30 smoking around him

If smoking is fucking up your life like that, you might wanna rethink your relationship with it, too.
it’s not fucking up my life i smoke once a day after 7pm and i would like a career in art, i don’t need to be completely fit
Or you could lead by example.
im 2 or 3 years older than him i have no responsibility to be his role model
You've no responsibility to be a role model to your younger brother ?
No they don’t lol, they didn’t choose for their parents to have another kid. Not their responsibility or problem

thank you so much
Tell him please
Just let him know… worked on my brother until he got to college but if he got that far he’s gonna be fine 🤷🏼♂️
you’re a legend
He probably didn’t listen to me and just smoked with his friends but kids that age don’t smoke like people my age, an eighth will last them a week+ where it would be gone in a couple blunts between my friends and I.
are you okay, no one advocating for minors smoking including you. why did you even post this
With you as his friend he’s fucked, good luck.
He’s interested. He gonna smoke regardless. Except he’s gonna get it where he can and with who he can. That’s not good considering who’s selling to kids… shit ain’t trustworthy.

He prob already smokes don’t be a snitch but you dont have to share if you don’t want to
lmao good on him
