Answers: My whole family is into drugs, and it recked my home life. I even got into it, but now, I have a cool foster family, and I don't even want to touch it anymore. When you start smoking weed, it is so great at the time, that you loose the ability to see what it is doing to you. The thing with your friend is, you can't help him unless he wants the help. If don't want help, then there is nothing you can do. If you want to talk more about it, then IM me.
It is best to let him know that you don't care for him doing that, and if he cares enough, and if you ignore him whenever he smokes, then he should respect that and talk to you seriously about quitting (with out promises, only actions).
Pot is stupid and boring. It tends to make people silly and lazy, I hated it. But honestly, a little pot is no big deal. If he smokes everyday and has trouble functioning, thats another story. Pot is not physically addictive, but can be mentally. Pot is a mild psychadelic drug and can make people act paranoid and strange sometimes. Find out if he uses other drugs besides pot and suggest he stops. But if he doesn't want to he won't. But crack, meth, heroin or heavy drinking are a lot worse than pot.
Sweetheart I am speaking to you from experience---YOU CAN NOT SAVE A DRUG ADDICT. My brother was on drugs for many years--and he listened to NO ONE who tried to help him. ONLY AN ADDICT CAN SAVE HIMSELF..YOU MUST LEAVE YOUR FRIEND ALONE-- AND SAVE YOURSELF BEFORE YOU GET IN TROUBLE..Dont you know that if the police raid his house or stop him, while you are with him--you BOTH will be arrested? This is very serious. You must continue to focus on school and college. Your friend is going down the Wrong Path--Do Not Follow Him..Do Not Ever Try Drugs or Smoke Weed--you will become an addict just like your friend if you do that. RUN, RUN, RUN.
Peace
You are wise to want to try to help your friend stop using drugs. Unfortunately, this is not an easy thing to do. your friend must first admit that he has a problem, and then must be willing and wanting to change his habits.
You might mention to him that you are concerned with how his drug use is affecting his health and his life, and that you would like to see your friendship continue. Try not to be too hard or judgemental. Your support is crucial.
If he is smoking marajuana its a drug that slows the body and mind down, and if used in an appropriate manner(not that there really is any) it could be ok. Not saying that what your friend is doing is right, just saying that it is a grade c drug, which is also useed for meddicinal purposes. Usually if you approach someone about stopping drugs altogether they are going to rebel, but one thing you can do is be a good friend and be there to talk to them if something goes wrong. Usually people turn to drugs either for experimentation, peer pressure or personal issues that drugs take away for a while.He sounds like he is old enough to make decisions for himself, but keep an eye out for him. If you see him start to sell pot, have lots on hand(which most likely will tell you that he is selling and can end up being very dangerous for him)or go onto different drugs(any, most drugs are more harmful than pot) you should go to an adult because it is and will become a more serious issue that you shouldn't have to face by yourself. Don't think of it as narking but you could save his life if gets out of hand.
