My Friend Smokes and Asked Me not to Tell- What Should I Do?

so he also has anger issues… he needs to talk to someone about that… colleges have counseling centers…

You should definitely not “tell on him”. Smoking a little pot is not going to “ruin his life” like you say. He’s just doing it to relax and have a good time. Does anyone in your family drink? Does he drink? I am going to guess the answer is yes. The truth is Weed is actually safer than Alcohol, the only difference is that Marijuana is illegal. No one has ever died from Weed alone, and lots of people have died from alcohol poisoning.

He is in college, of course he smokes pot. Once you are older and (probably) start doing it too, and you realize that it’s not the worst thing in the world, you will surely regret telling on him.

You’ve already noticed a down-hill trend…don’t ignore.

eww…that’s a hard one…:/ I think that you should tell some one but like a friend or something [for now] or talk about it with him. I don’t know the guy so I don’t know how he would act if you asked him that… so…I don’t know. Sorry.

I assume you mean he smokes some sort of drug? He’s in college, therefore he’s an adult… exactly who are you going to tell? Try and get him to talk to someone, but dont go behind his back…

Thanks, and yes, he is in college and an adult. It’s pot he smokes, and he doesn’t want his family or mine finding out, because if anyone in my family found out, so would his. Um, he has horrible anger issues, so I think talking to him or telling anyone could result in physical pain for me. And my brother, who also knows, for letting me tell. Or get “nosy” about it.
