Dumb drug question

Sorry if this is a dumb question. My ex went through a stage at 16 when he took just about anything he could get his hands on. But for the last 5 years hes taken nothing, not even had a pint or a joint. But since we split in November (we were together for 6 months) hes moved back to Northern Ireland and back to his old mates and now hes smoking joints on his own at midday, drinking a lot and goodness knows what else. I know I'm probably over reacting, most of my mates like a joint, the odd E or a bit of cocaine at the weekend and it doesn't bother me, but this does. Is his behaviour normal or a bad sign? And please no one tell me that its none of my business, cos I already know that!!!

If he is stressing out over the break-up, then he may, as a lot of people do, be trying to get over it with the help of drugs. I'd keep an eye on him whether you think it's your buisness or not, maybe asking him why wouldn't be a bad idea either. Some people turn to drugs because they think that it'll solve their problems.
But how he behaves now is his responsibility, you can do absolutely nothing to change anything or make him happy. He has to work this out himself. All you can do is get on with your own life and with making things happen for you. I hope in another 6 months you will look back and wonder what you were putting so much of your energy in to this for, because it is all going nowhere at the moment.......
