<human>: On a throw away since my brother is also a redditor.

Basically, for the past 6 or so months my brother has been smoking almost daily, our parents eventually found out because they checked his text messages. He was punished severely...(phone taken away, about $3000 taken from him that he earned working at a grocery store (to be returned after Christmas of 2011), because its now 'drug money', he cant leave the house aside from school, he's being drug tested soon, and he no longer can do anything video game or social related on weekends.)

Thing is, he's still smoking weed almost daily, he says he lost just about everything anyway and has nothing else to lose. I dont know what to say to him, his defense is always that he still maintains straight A's and he feels it isn't affecting him in any negative way.

What should I say to him? . Im worried that he's going to fuck himself and get himself in a worse position than he is now. My parents are incredibly serious about him not smoking. I should add that I'm 23 and I am an avid smoker as well...I was just able to not get caught.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: my brother who is a straight A student is smoking a lot of weed despite being caught and stopped giving a fuck what our parents had to say.
