Hi,
Your brother has a mental illness which is probably being aggravated by his marijuana use. Living with him will require a lot of adjustment and patience on the part of all family members, but please keep in mind that mental illnesses are not spread by contact. You do not stand any chance of falling ill just by staying with your brother, but yes, it may be difficult for you to adjust with him.
Best wishes.
