If your friend wants to try it I say let her! I smoke weed every once in a while! First off, don't listen to the idiot that says its addictive. The first time you don't even get high. So she won't feel anything and think its a waste and will most likely never do it again. Just make sure she doesn't get into any other drugs, because that is stupid!!!

Well, you could tell her about how weed is one of the most addictive substances around. If she tries it once, there is an extremely good chance she's going to try it again. You might also want to tell her about some of the possible immediate side affects. Often times when someone tries weed their body can have a bad reaction and they get a "bad high". This means she will be having extremely large feelings of paranoia, she'll be miserable, she'll be vomiting, and the effects last for a while. Other than that you can simply stress the fact that weed can have serious affects on you in the short and long term and can end relationships, bring her grades down, etc.

well i used to do weed! i've been drug free for a month! and yeah im more proud of being drug free then being on drugs
but anyways! weed its nothing special when you write her a letter be honest tell her how you feel!
be honest.. write what you mainly wanna say down on something then re-write it! and fix what ever you think sounded weird!
i mean weed isnt good! and im not sayin she should but if she really wants to let her try it at least once! just so she understands! try and explain to her. that OKAY YEAH WEED MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD FOR A LITTLE WHILE! but how good is she gonna feel if one day she just so happendly gets cought with it! my friends got cought with it! and now they got like kicked outta are school!
but yeah be honest with her! and if its kinda hard to convince her to not! then make a deal with her!
tell er okay if you try it! promise me you'll wait another week till you do it again! that way she dont get attached to it! and will eventually just stop doing it! thats pretty much what i did!
but yeah i hooe i was some help to you! if the letter dont work! talk to her in person that way she will relize your serious

this has happened to me with several friends. i'm lucky that non of them have gotten addicted or caught...yet.
some things to tell her are:
*that you really care about her and you don't want anything to happen to her.
*she'll smell bad
*if she sings, tell her it will ruin her voice.
* if she plays a sport, remind her that physicals check for drug use..
those are just a few things.. <3

You have my permission to show her this:
Hey, I'm Christina. I'm 15 years old and I have been with my current boyfriend for close to 8 months steadily and a year and a half on and off. I love him with all of my heart and even going a day without seeing him kills me.
He's a big druggie though, or he used to be. Weed was one of the things he loved to get high on. One day he got caught with it and they locked him up in the juvinelle detention center for a few weeks. That was so hard on me. Letters were all I could get from him, and it tore apart his whole family not being able to see him. I cried myself to sleep every night thinking of him. He was torn apart too. And he told me he was done with weed for good.
But the same day he got out he smoked again. It's addicting. And tomorrow, he's checking himself into inpatient rehab for 60 days because of it. Because he can't stop. But he needs to, he HAS to. That's 60 days I can't talk to him. 60 days without seeing him. All I have is letters. Just letters keeping us in contact. And what if the mail messes up? What if the letters don't get to me? How am I going to get through this?
Now I won't lie to you, I've smoked weed a few times. It's nothing special really. My boyfriend just happened to be one of the unlucky few who fall in love with the high and can't stop for anything, anyone. But now he realizes it isn't doing anything for him except screwing up his life. It'll be hard for him to give it up but he knows he has to. If you want something that will make you dizzy and lightheaded and hungry trying not eating breakfast and spinning around a room. It's NOT worth screwing up your life. What is weed gonna do for you in the long run? Will you end up in the same position as my boyfriend, checking yourself into rehab or laying in juvi, while everyone that knows you misses you to death?
Think about it, please. This is a true story, it's what I'm dealing with in my life right now and you really don't want it to happen to you. I know you're probably thinking, "Just one time. Only one time." But it will turn into more. Trust me. Please...don't do it.

The best thing to do is to give straightforward and unbiased information, rather than to warn her off.
Cannabis is relatively harmless as far as drugs go, safer than alcohol or nicotine in many ways. It _can_ touch off or make worse existing mental conditions such as schitzophrenia or depression but this is extremely rare.
Heavy use will make you lethargic and disinterested and the active chemicals can build up in your body fat being slowly released and making you lethargic and slightly high over long periods.
It isn't physically addictive but the socialisation involved can be psychologically addictive, in order to get it you may have to mix with people who use other drugs and who are interested in putting you on them.
Smoking it is the worst way to take it as it can damage your lungs and, depending how it is preserved if you go for hardpress rather than weed, can have a higher chance of causing cancer. Many smokers mix it with tobacco which while providing a smoother smoke gets you addicted to nicotine.
If she MUST take it, eating it in cakes or smoking it through a water pipe, pure, is the least damaging way to do so.
