My best friend smokes pot. She used to do it only once a month, but she has done it 2 times this week. It's because she has started to hang out with the potheads at school. Please don't tell me to tell an adult. I know she would never talk to me again. What can I say that will convince her not to smoke so often? I tried to tell her about the consequences, but she wouldn't listen.

Or better yet just t alk to her. I know it's hard but say exactly what you feel. If my friend was smoking pot this is what I'd say. "Do you know what your doing to yourself? Listen your one of my best friends and I don't think I'm giong to be able to handle you doing something that could take you away from me. And I know it's not just me. If you died think about how your parents, (other friends) lifes would be ruined. I know you may say, "Oh I only do it sometimes" but the truth is its addicting and you and I both know that if you keep doing it you'll get hooked." Personally if my friend was doing pot I'd try to get them to stop and then I'd just not be their friend anymore. I don't want to be around pot heads and you should have to be.

toughkitty answered Saturday April 24 2004, 1:53 pm: If she wont listen to you, then you need to shoe her the bad things that can happen. Other than that, if you tried to tell her that this is not a good idea, there is really nothing else that you can do. If she doesn't want to listen to you, then atleast you know you tried. And know you said that you didn't want to tell an adult because she'll never talk to you again, but in the future, she will thank you for saving her life.
