Drug use is a symptom of an underlying problem. People have issues at any age, although typically when an older person abuses drugs, it suggests that they have failed to find healthier ways to cope with their issues and they are unable to break those particular unhealthy patterns.
I do think 29 is a little old to still be taking drugs. Has his life progressed at all in the past 10 years? Or is he still in the same place he was 10 years ago - same work/relationship/living situation etc?
Also...what drugs is he taking exactly, do you know?
I think he does weed but not sure. He done cocaine in the past but not sure if he still does. He's got his own place and lives with a flatmate, he was in a relationship with a girl but they recently split up. He works hard and earns good money, but apparently he has always been shy. I hate drugs and I've never touched drugs in my life so I am not defending him, but I don't think there is an age limit for drugs.
Weed can be good or bad depending. My 1st girlfriend was trying to break the habit but started slipping up & wanting to get back into it. She ended up giving the guy who sold/gave it to her head for more weed. I was very much against weed & we had lots of arguments about it. I ended up becoming straight-edge for a while because of it. I'm NOT that way nowadays. I've known more than a few people who were helped by weed. They have various medical conditions, some mental & others physical. I kinda want to try it to help relax but only in edible form which I'm not sure how to get. My girlreind's psychiatrist suggested she try weed since it's legal to use here now(still not legal to sell thou). She has bad depression & anxiety & has tried LOTS of meds & she also has Fibromyalgia on top of that. She's never done weed but she's been around people who do, plus our neighbors do it sometimes & it gets into our place. She finds it makes her paranoid, stressed, & itchy plus she has asthma so she has no intention of ever trying it & even less of smoking it.
It sounds like your bf's nephew has his sh!t together with life & drugs are not really a problem for him. Maybe they help him relax or help his shyness or something so I really don't get why people are giving him a hard time cuz of it.
