Don't accept responsibility. If he had never been in your life, he would never smoke your weed. If he wasn't your step-brother, you never would have gave him a second-chance, but maybe you would have. Also, if your parent had decided to marry someone else, you might have gotten a cooler step-brother. Then, there's the fact that your step-brother's head was blown up by his 'real' family to the point where he thinks he can take advantage of people. There is no blame to be put on you. I guess, blame yourself for liking weed, but that's all.

Since you had to call him, he probably doesn't live with you. I don't know where that point will lead, but, think about it. He's no better than your best-friend, step-blood or not. What would you do if it was your sister who did that? Just remember, no matter how big he is, you have the same rights as him. Plus, you are older, so you HAVE to teach him, and my first lesson would be not to "gyp" people on life (cannibus=life).

You really should keep this guy out of your life, until he learns.

My sisters man use to always "pinch" a bowl cuz he hooked it up. Well I started smoking at least one bowl with them if they hooked me up just cuz they help'd or w/e. But i found out he kept doing it. so i confronted my sister and i stopped going thru them for quite some time. now when i go with them i make sure he doesnt leave me sight with my weed.

No, he doesn't live with me. Putting him out of my life isn't an option though. I don't live with my family but I try to make it to a Sunday dinner every now and then. The point I've been trying to make, is that this is someone I want to continue to value and look in the eye. Far removed, perhaps, but he is still family.

Okay, if you want to keep him in your life, he must have something good in him.
Make a joke about it, maybe. Next time, you see him take a little extra food, tell him now you know what he looks like when he grabs in your bag for 'brain-food' (pot).

I'll think of others, I'm drunk now, so if you just bare with me, I'll help you out of this no matter how many times I'm wrong. I wasn't in the same situation, but I do have a younger step-brother. He went to jail for Heroine, but he's out now and started a family, prematurely, I think.

If he was my family.....I would just leave it alone....but never buy from him again....if he asks why you stoped buying through him......then tell him.

I think he might want to share the whole experience with family, rather than a street-dealer (who'd probably hook him up phat).

Maybe you should take his advice and go off on your step-brother. You have (wait, by fraternal, do you mean like a fraternity?) still remained friends with your fraternal brother and you should expect your step-brother to do the same. If he doesn't then you know who the better man is, because when the shoe was on your foot, you forgave your fraternal brother.
