Since it is "only" weed, there's nothing you should really overreact about. I understand you are upset about the situation, but the best thing to do would be to sit down & talk to her. See if there's anything you can do to help her. Honestly, weed is becoming more accepted because it's not physically addicting or harmful as drugs like cocaine or heroin. [In that case, you would deal with the situation differently.] But right now, I don't believe you should get the police involved. You just need talk to her & eventually realize that her choices are her own & you can't really do anything about it. [ hannahd's advice column | Ask hannahd A Question ]

If it really bothers you, I would just sit her down and talk to her. Sometimes things like drugs and alcohol split friends apart. Lifes like that, sorry to say. I wouldnt call the police.
Talk to her, ask her why she does it, and how she can afford it. If that doesnt work, well then either remain her friend, or dont.
thats the way highschool is. theres always drugs, alcohol, sex and lots and lots of drama..
and it will ruin a few friendships. [ Jodieee's advice column | Ask Jodieee A Question ]
lalagurly answered Tuesday August 29 2006, 12:10 am: yes i think you should get involve she is your friend go over there talk to her first talk to her mom or a relative if they are the type not t care and she is pushing you away then you will have to tell someone.Maybe not the police though maybe your school counsler?or even your mom because i know that you care and this is gonna afecct her dont expect her to listen to you or be grateful she will be neither.But with your support she can get through it dont stop writing letters even when she doesnt replie she will see them atleast a know you care if she says she rips them up dont listen because she will read one one time.It will be hard for you aswell so lean on some one for support dont listen to your other friend you need to help her if you believe in god pray i will pray for you both aswell the power of prayer is huge even if you dont believe it still provides hope ok well make sure to tell me how it goes email me at mizztalk_alot@hotmail.com ask me a question if you like aswell
