My best friend smokes weed, what should I do?

Give me a break people, I’ve never heard of anyone being found dead of a weed overdose. Kids shouldn’t smoke weed because they’re to young to handle what it does to their mind. Marijuana is an herb that has been used in may ways, for thousands of years, it is not at narcotic. The funny thing is I could buy a case of Vodka a day and the police can’t do a thing but smoke a joint go to jail. A person can be thrown in a cell with thieves, murderers, and hard core criminals all for having an herb. It’s time for us to wake up and stop demonizing something that more people than you think use, yes, I’m high as the sky right now! I worked a long ten hour day, and I came home and smoked a joint, I didn’t kill anyone, I didn’t murder anyone, hell I even gave a homeless guy food. This is a country full of hypocrites! Now I’m not going to spell check, I’m going to eat my “Combos” and smoke another fat one. After that I’m going to bed and I’ll wake up and go to work, on a Saturday, and I’ll come home and smoke another one. Not once have I ever thought about snorting or shooting anything into my body, it’s about free will. Muddy Waters, Ray Charles, Bob Marley, and many others sang about that beautiful herb, if more people smoked we’d all be a lot calmer and nicer to one another. Don’t judge your friend, let him know that smoking is not something he can spemd all his time doing but he’s not a bad guy either. I’m high from the moment I wake up because I love my life, I don’t smoke to get high, I smoke to get higher.

–k if I repeat whatever the other guys say sorry-but heres what I think– just today I was talkin to someone I love sooo much just like you love your friend..its that strong love–I just need to say that they worst thing you can do is leave your friend alone–they are suffering..my person is still in very recent stages of this stupid thing called weed…try and get him to turn around and get him on the straight path again–you right now are is strong arm that he can lean on…get him to talk to you–ask him to go to counciling like a therapist –what he is doing goes much deeper than just because he feels like doing weed. get him to open up–take up all his time. go with him wherever you know fight for him after awhile thoughs guys he’s hangin out w/ will get sick of it and leave him. its better that way that he loses those contacts. do whatever you can do to get him away from then. just dont up and leave him. that is truely the worst. he needs you more than ever.let him talk the whole thing out with you and then I think it would be for the best if you did tell his parents. he may hate you but he’ll forgive you in the end.

What to do?

Ask to smoke with him sometime. Weed isn’t as bad as everyone makes it out to be.

Srsly.

well, my mom used to leave me at this apartment above us with a bunch of guys well she went out drinking and parting. one of the guys that lived ther did pot, he was only like 15. I was kinda young so I didnt really know what it was but I know it was bad. just a couple of weeks ago I saw one of his roomates and he and I started talking and I asked him how that one guy was doin and he told me that he died from a drug overdose a couple of years ago. just think, if you dont help your friend through this he could end up like that guy. my mom used drugs once upon a time and look where she ended up. In jail and I havnt seen her for 5 years now. so at least talk to your friend and tell him your worried about him and you dont want to lose him. tell him exactly how you feel.

tell me how it goes. ill add you as my friend <3

thats the same problem with me. my “ best” friend is pretty much my sister. but ever sence shes been smoking weed shes totally changed. and our parents are really good friends so its hard to just say forget her. and plus we have to go on a week long school trip together. so I have to keep my mouth shut about all of this until after then. or else things would be weird. I want to help her so bad but I know she wont listen and she would just get even more mad at me. I dont know what to do because I dont want to be like her mom saying she shouldnt do it.

so I know how your feeling.

I think you should try talking to your friend and suggest that the two of you should go to a counselor and talk about it,suggest that he should go get help,go to a clinique or a place for help with his problem,or talk to im about what you are feeling the next time you run into him at school. Tell him that you care about him very much and that you don’t want him to die or be put in the hospital because of weed. Hope this helps and good luck.

Come on now. You seriously need to lighten up and read up on it with that erowid link. If you’re going to be close minded about it and just say “I don’t care about what you think about weed” (the truth), then you don’t deserve help from anybody. If you were to do anything that these other people have said, (counseler, etc) then for sure the guy will not want to be friends with you, since you think weed is the worst thing ever and apparently don’t like to have fun. You should learn from this, you talk about how nice of a guy he is, shouldn’t this be a clue that smoking weed doesn’t make you a loser burnout?

you know, one of the people closest to me had similar troubles with weed, and it was so difficult to deal with. talking to him is probably the best thing for him and telling him your concerns. although, I’ll admit… it probably won’t work. I don’t think you should give up on him, because eventually he can become the person he used to be. I gave up on a really close friend years ago because she did pot, and now we’re good friends again, since she stopped. but losing the friend was the worst for me. telling his parents would probably anger him and lead to more drug usage. I’d say the best step is to talk to him about it…

There’s a saying, “Friends don’t let Friends drive drunk!”

That same sentiment applies to many circumstances. Friends don’t let Friends do things that are potentially harmful to themselves or others.

Accordingly, as a Friend, I’d do whatever it takes to get him turned around. Even if it meant telling his parents. True, you might alienate him and lose him as a Friend, but, if you’re really his Friend, losing his friendship is not as important as helping him gain his way back to a safe lifestyle.

dude just tell him not to smoke around you and if he oes still talk to him just dont hang around him

call him light up pots not the worst thing
