Op, with the position he is now, you are even at risk if you don't know how you handle this issue. Let us call a spade a spade. He could come after your life. He cannot change at this point. Get the parents involved or pack out from the house to an unknown place and ask the landlord to evict him.

Bro....if you understand drug addiction...... you would never ever listen to anyone advising you to sit him down and explain.... nor say you can't do this or that because he is family. He has become a different creature. .... get that in your head.... like a wild animal.... unpredictable... can snap at anytime. Is your life in danger? I know you don't think so.... because you cannot see any reason why it would be. Again... he is a different creature. Should you.... in his eyes... try to prevent... or do not do enough to help him get his next hit.... you can be killed. The guy earlier suggested he need to be snatched and forced into rehab for months... no discussion... no option. That's the least you can do for him. Has he yet started selling out your assets?... have you taken stock of your small items?...small appliances?.... clothing?...footwear?...tools?
Treat the matter as an emergency... let all family members know... and all come to an urgent decision. Who knows... maybe he already has a plan to have you murdered....personally... or by his fellow meth heads.

@ being addicted to weed. Weed itself is not addictive.... but most sellers add an addictive substance. Most likely... your cous started out smoking weed spiked with meth.

Your cousin is smoking CRACK, Crack is one of the most addictive drugs in the world. Now we don’t know if his a crack head yet but I hope his not cause it will take God’s grace and very good rehabilitation to get him back to normal. Yes crack messes up the brain cells and an addicted crack head can spend 10M in a month without been able to account how he spent it. My best friend who is now my ex friend got himself into it, I remember how he used to spend 40k every night just to buy crack, growing up he was a very handsome guy and even if he had some bad character stealing was never his thing, last time I saw him he was looking so unkept scammed a bike man 1500 and stole my Bluetooth speaker which he probably would have just dropped at the crack house to take crack, In most crack house you can drop whatever valuable items you have for maybe half of the worth for crack so OP be on the watch out for your valuables at home. Reading from your write up I don’t think his a CRACKHEAD yet though but he will be eventually if he doesn’t put an end to the lifestyle

OP he can’t do it alone, whatever means you can use in helping him pls do, he might need to see a Therapist, or maybe he just need to get his focus and motivation right, if you leave him and he continues this way 5years time you won’t believe what will become of him

confront him immediately and tell him to leave, if u are not sending him to rehab let him leave your house this guy can turned dangerous anytime...let him leave immediately while u inform his parents, and siblings...do not get murdered in ur sleep by a depressed drug addict like some parents that were killed recently by their drug addict son...don't let him spend another day there....

Don’t let one woman over hype this issue for you. Might be a weed bung. No biggy in smoking weed, he should just do it responsibly and not indoor.


Is it not better to err on the side of caution?
Is the usual way of smoking weed doing it from a “bung”?
Many Nigerian youth are users and addicts and most of them are in denial. Many also know nothing about the drugs they are using and what addiction is all about. They think it is just to “get high” to “cope with hard Naija” embarassed

Leave the “one woman” alone
She did well and even educated the poster... yet you find a way to make her look bad angry

No amount of determination can make him stop cocaine without rehab,this are serious stuffs.
determination after the rehab, he mustnt know about the rehab or else he would abscorn. he is on meth and not crack. sending him away is very dangerous he might hook up with bad gangs and you aint save but helping him and he becomes better he would forever be grateful to you. what if he is your child or partner would you send him/her packing.

He didn't do anything wrong.

If he was never caught, you will never know.

If he drinks 2 cartoons of beer daily and your neighbour knows, she wouldn't have complained. Yet, which is more dangerous.

Leave the young man alone and your neighbour should mind her business.

Most guys that commits heinous crimes don't drink or smoke or even womanize.

She would have been more happy your brother goes to church everyday and decide to use one of her kids for juju to have customers abi.

I appreciate all the input and the help. We will be taking solutions based on sincere advice given here. Thanks.

The main issue about mental health issues (addiction being one) is that for one to be okay, they have to have an insight into their problem. They MUST know they have a problem and MUST WANT to get better
Talk to him
I think he is still a user and not yet very addicted. This is because an addict becomes a horror, and almost inhuman in thoughts and all
Would lie, steal, rape, prostitute or even kill to get a fix. As it is now, he is borrowing. He can be helped more easily
Best bet is talk about it with him. If he agrees he has a problem, half of it is solved. In that case, he is likely to still be a user, albeit a heavy one (cue the personal bung). If he lies despite all the evidence, just know addiction is very likely

Google crack, heroin or meth addiction and you guys read it and go from there. Also search YouTube with him, “how to get over eg heroin addiction” He must see a psychiatrist/psychologist
He must have a support group to help him beat this (not just you, tell 3/4 other people who you are sure love him too.

Some people become addicts before knowing they are in trouble sef. In their minds they are “being happy and getting high”
Sadly, for heroin and I dare to say meth, by the third use a habit is formed, and addiction can happen, and control is lost
I send healing thoughts his way
Meanwhile you are not safe with a drug addict in your house, no matter how much you love them
An addict has a disease and is not their normal self
With a recreational user not much wahala but you can’t determine which- you have to seek help
Your girlfriend may know how to get this help for him. Let her kindly send out feelers at the NDLEA office. They must have professionals who help people to quit drugs
You cannot help a heroin or meth or cocaine user quit on your own
Some people possess super self control and determination and can do the very hard “cold turkey” which also needs medical supervision because death can occur.
My point? He needs help, and now now

You are a good guy by the way
