friend help: how do I convince my best friend to stop growing weed? - Help.com

how do I convince my best friend to stop growing weed?

He just started, says he’s into it for the “adventure” but he’s otherwise a really smart and ethical person, not the type to become a stoner. He does make a good point though: all our information on why drugs are bad come from heavily biased sources and are not backed up by specific studies.

I’ve tried that (though I haven’t mentioned him “playing wife to some old guy”) and he’s in denial. He keeps explaining how he won’t get caught, and then proceeds to talk about it openly on the bus to and from school. Meanwhile, the entire high school knows he’s doing it, and a few days ago my sister came home from the middle school and confronted me about a rumor there that I’d been helping him (which I’m not!)

Yes, with the same arguments. I haven’t hung out with him as much lately, butI don’t want to abandon my best friend because he made a bad decision; as his friend, I should be the one to steer him out of it, right?

It sounds like your friend deserves to be caught and taught a lesson. It also sounds like he’s doing it just to try to be cool, which in essence makes him uncool.

Based on your post, I sincerely doubt that your friend is actually growing weed. He probably smoked it once if that. Relax.

I’ve seen the plants and where he’s growing them. It’s definitely marijuana.

The whole point of this site is to be able to seek and give advice semi-anonymously to avoid being judged. Your suggestion is perverse and hurtful. I don’t tell borderline-suicide posts that their stuff is nonsense. I’m asking the internet for advice because I’m genuinely concerned for my best friend and I’ve run out of options I can think of. My last resort would be what NoGift suggested, to save my own skin, which is what my parents have said, but I’m looking desparately for an alternative to prevent him from ****ing up the rest of his life!

someimes te ony thing that will help is if some one gets caught. If you really want him to learn his lesson, call the cops and leave an anonymous tip. I had to do this for my ex boyfriend, he never found out tht it was me, and he learned his lesson. hes sober now and a great dad

fake ma you might not think a high schooler can grow weed, but trust me they can, and it is advertised too, I went to a small school and I knew every guy that had weed, which ones dealt it and which ones smoked it, Ive never done it, but I could get it any time I wanted, open your eyes and get real life isnt like a disney movie

You may not be able to convince him to stop, but you could convince him to get a medical marijuana card so that it is legal for him to grow. There are a variety of afflictions which can be treated with cannabis, so if the state you live in allows medical marijuana, see if he can’t get it for some reason or another, for instance; migraines.

One more thing, DO NOT take it on yourself to destroy his plants, this will ruin your friendship for sure. Tell him how worried you are, and tell him this…

“The Ganja Guru says your just too **** young to take chances on stuff like this now, wait till your 18 to smoke, use in moderation, and don’t grow until your done with college because getting caught could cost you federal financial aide and a whole lot more.”

There you have it, beyond that, there is nothing you can do but protect yourself from going down with him, i.e. don’t go hanging out in his secret garden.
