friends help: My best friend just told be she is smoking weed. - Help.com

Say something quick! if you dont she will think your a bad friend if you tell her later.if shes not a close friend, dont be friends with heremake sure you do.

if shes just started,HURRY stop her before she gets hooked

so smoke with her.

don’t panic. I smoked weed, many other people do too. Contrary to popular belief she will neither explode instantaneously nor burn in hell. It is not good, but just talk to her about it.

All you really can do is tell her how you feel about it. Although I don’t do it and don’t condone it, it is her life and as long as she isn’t hurting anyone it’s her decision. Don’t let her talk you into doing too it if it is something you don’t want to do or aren’t comfortable with.

Weed is not a bad drug. It is not addictive and can be “enlightening.” She could be doing much worse. Don’t worry about it. If she moves on to man made drugs, you may have a problem, but you don’t right now. Do some research…and not propaganda research…look into the real facts. You will be pleasantly surprised.

Weed is just fun. Its no big deal. dont worry about it. maybe next time she’ll let you take a hit.

I don’t recommend it either, but just know that it is not too terrible. She can still be your friend whether or not she does smoke weed, it doesn’t change that much. For the sake of her health you might consider voicing your concerns, but she would need to smoke quite a bit before it really affects her long term.

She will be my friend regardless of her smoking habits. She claims that she does so to allow her to sleep at night. My only worry is that she will move on to ‘bigger and better’ things.

From what I understand, weed is relatively safe (in-fact, safer than tobacco in terms of addiction and damage). I’d just prefer she didn’t…

ok, why the *** k would people looking for help on telling their friend not to smoke weed want comments that are all like
smoke weed!
so, katieofcourse,
a) take your head out of your *** so that you can
b) get the hell out of this help site. key word: help.

well, i think you should tell her that weed ***** up your life, and how she needs to stop. if she doesnt listen, tell her that your going to ignore her untill she stops.

my head isnt in my ***. maybe you need to light one and CHILL.

i agree with anonymous.Get a life! people are looking for help not inspiration to do bad thigs!!!

Well, here in Holland it’s everywere.. Weed isn’t a big deal. It can be very addictive so warn her.

I’d rather spend my money on new shoes. ;)

See, I probably would try it. Just as I tried tobacco (which I must say was quite enjoyable, but sadly not cost effective) with her.

On the other hand, she was quite open in telling me - its not like I walked into her. I just worry about her, she is quite stressed right now and I’m sure there are other ways to go about relaxing.

I just want to help…

As for katieofcouse, you’ve annoyed me quite a bit recently.

If you don’t like her smoking that stuff speak up. Just remind her not to get into that stuff to much to the point were her life revolves around getting weed. It’s not as bad as you might think but its the user that can make it bad, now if she starts getting into more serious drugs you have to try and convince her to stop for her own good.

how did i annoy you?

I like katieofcourse. She’s right. What right do you guys have to deem something is “bad,” especially something as benign as weed. Keep using your fear tactics to control people; take after the Bush administration. She asked for help and everyone has the right to an opinion of what help is. Here’s a hint…don’t try to control people especially with fear. Educate yourself and learn the facts. Millions of people use marijuana as a drug for treatment of many health inflictions including insomnia, athsma, cancer, and AIDS. Educate yourself people!

THANKYOU badfritterfilm.

…….You guys are absoloute bonkers.Your encouraging her to smoke weed????!!!?!?!?!

You present a very biased education there…

you have been biased the hole entire time.

At least I’m presenting an education…

Just because millions of people use it doesn’t mean it’s not bad for you. I’ve see quite a few people screw up their lives over weed, and have health issues because of it.

….So?
It’s pot. Seriously, think about that. Just make sure she’s educated on the best people to buy it from (peeps who lace it with the most harmless things. You can’t get pot that’s not mixed with something, at least not here), and ask her not to smoke around you.

Anynomous, obviously you’ve already made your decision cause you’re clearly taking sides. So just go with your decision.

yes! whya re you telling her the good things of smoking when she oviously wanted help on making her friend stop? then you have to go all hippie on us and say drugs are good for you.

She has no right to stop her friend from doing something, unless her friend is really harming herself (which she’s not). All she can do is make sure her friend knows how she feels about it and tell her not to do it around her.

theres more fun stuff to do than shoving rolling some.

and i HATE the bush admin.

ok well im done here. you all need to chill out. pot is pot. you cant say anything unless you have done it. i used to be soo against it and then i tried it and i loved it ever since. its really no big deal its a natural plant!! it should be llegal in my opinion. but bye.

why would she not stop her friend?
shed be a ****** friend if she didnt

All that I’m saying is you can’t tell someone to stop doing something. You can tell them how you feel about the subject but the second you try to control them or tell them not to do something, it will backfire. Let her live her own life…tell her to do some research and get facts and make her OWN decision. Sure weed isn’t for everybody, but it has also helped a lot of people so have her figure it out on her own. She could be doing something a lot worse.

I’m more concerned, to be honest, with what made her take up smoking weed. I’d rather help her through that and ‘fix’ what ever is stressing her - thus alleviating the need for weed.

Who said she is a she, might be a he!

OMG what a terrible analogy. What badfritter meant was “look at all the people who do it and aren’t harmed, and all the people who are doing it for medical benefit” If a bunch of people jumped off a cliff, you’d obviously look down the cliff first and see their pancaked bodies and be ‘err, maybe not’. Pot involves no pancaked bodies when you see the results of smoking it.

My reply begs the question: what would be the right reasons to start smoking?

My best friend used to smoke, I told on him, he was really mad, but it was for the best, it was for his sake.

Oleander is a natural plant, too, but if you consume it you will most likely die.
