To say no to my husbands weekend away?

My husbands friends are planning a weekend away this summer. He hasn’t brought it up yet but I know it’s only a matter of time. I’m not really happy at all with the idea.

They all went away last year and after he got back I found messages on his phone where he had been trying to buy drugs. He denied having taken anything and claimed not to remember having attempted to buy it. I’m not stupid enough to believe this!
Anyway a few months later he was sacked
from his job for reasons pertaining to the same drug. Again he denies it happened 🙄

Anyway it became apparent to me that I’d been very naive for quite a few years. Looking back it’s clear that he has been out doing drugs regularly without me knowing. I knew he did drugs in the past but was led to believe he had left all that behind him. It was certainly part of the deal of us having children that drugs would not factor in our lives.

We have been through a hellish year as a family and are still not totally out of it. I’m not at all happy about the idea of him going away on a drink and drug weekend with these friends of his. He will claim that I’m being ridiculous and that is not what it will be. But I’m not stupid.
So wibu to tell him ( when he gets around to mentioning it) that I’m not happy about him going? Obviously I cannot stop him but if he does go he will have to suffer the consequences?

Just remembered a similar situation at our workplace. A colleagues DP was doing exactly the same and it was not until she threw him out and told him it was over ( and she 100% ment it ) that he finally realised he had to stop to keep his family. They've got back together on a zero tolerance basis. She'd asked him for ages to stop and he'd laughed her off.

Madonnasmum, my STBXH was like that - he would never listen to me until I gave him an ultimatum. In the end it was too exhausting to nearly kick him out every time we had a conflict/problem.
