My best friend smokes weed?
Hey. I'm 13/f and my bestfriend is 41/f. The other day, I went uptown with her and her other friend, and we went in the woods and they smoked pot. Don't get me wrong, I mean if they want to try it, go ahead, it's their lives. The third friend, we'll call her friend 2, is a pretty bad pot head, although we're still good friends. I'm just afraid that whenever friend 1 is with friend 2, friend 1 will smoke pot and get addicted to it. I have no problem confronting her with my concern, becuase she confronts me about cutting all the time. The issue is, I don't know what to say without coming off like I'm trying to run her life. PLEASE HELP ME?!
I rate..
Sorry it's so long..

tell her youre worried and that she can always come to you for help. that way, your friendship is still growing and she knows youre there whether she gets addicted or not. if she doesnt take it well, let her ruin her life and get better friends.

really, pot isn`t that much addicting as it may seem. alot of my friends do it, but they can stay away from it when they are with me or they can go a month with out it. so you have nothing to be worried about. and as long as your cutting goes, i don`t mean to jump onto your you or anything cuz i used to do it. and i got help. i hated it when they would talk to me about it and ask why. but maybe you should try to put a rubberband around your wraist and whne you wanna cut, snap it. it releaves the pain just as well, but no one will no. i hope i helped and gave you what you wanted to hear.

well I truely hope I don't get a bad rating for this but I'm just giving you the facts. Pot may become a habit because people enjoy it, but it's not medically possible to become pysically addicted to it. It's pot not crack. I think you should research both the negative and the positive websites on the subject and draw your own conclusions before confronting your friend. I'd also take into consideration that if your cutting she may throw it in your face that your risking getting a flesh eating bacteria and or a life threatening infection, while pot never killed anybody. I'm sure you've heard lots of bad things about pot, and I'm certainly not a drug advocate (I don't even like asprin) but when it comes to pot I have and always will tell anyone and everyone to research the good and the bad ( youll notice the bad are mostly Goverment sites) and draw your own conclusions.

i wouldn't really worry about it because pot is only addictive if you do it like every day all day for like legit 10 yrs. if you still wanna talk to her about it, just be like "i don't care if you do it every once in a while but i don't want you to become so absorbed in it that you won't have time for other things.." and let her know that if she starts to do otherdrugs you will have a problem w/ that. just be like i know you try to advise me with my cutting, and i just want to be there for you.. make sure it doesnt get any worse (although its not a rpbolem if you just smoke sometimes.)

The only way pot is addicting is psychologically. Your mind makes you think you need it, but physically, you're not addicted. Anyways:

If your friend is smoking pot, say something to her about it. I mean, you can't change her & you know that, but just tell her that there's better things to do with her time than drugs & they could potentionally fuck her up. If she doesn't seem to change, then accept the fact that you tried to help.

In order to make it sound like you're not trying to run her life just tell her that you know it's her life but she could do better things than drugs for a release. Drugs are not cool & will in no way make her cool. Neither will alcohol. The best thing for her to do would be to stop or not give in to peer pressure. Just tell her you can't change her mind about it, but you're concerned & you care about her just the same as she does for you.

first of all i dont think she should feel like your trying to run her life becauce your simply concerned about her and your trying to make her do wats good for her and dats what she does to you about cutting yourself![[wich i dont agree so much on by day way=//]] but yeah. i had the same problem as you but i told her that wat she was doing was wrong and well she said shed stop for me but unfortunately i didint see her anymore as much and she started to go more towards what the other girl was telling her....my point is all you can do is tell her and try to make her understand but you CANNOT fix her as in make her stop. i know shes your friend but like you said its her life and if she messes it up theres nothing you can do about it!
