Being a pot "addict" is very different to being a heroin addict.

I think you need to get help if you think you are a good friend by doing that.

what the fuck is wrong with you people, seriously? first of all, aren't they supposed to be your friends?! and second, we are talking about pot, people! what the fuck?!

yeah how's that? At least here if the cops catch someone with marijuana all they'll do is make you pay a fine of I don't know how many euros(a lot now) or else they don't fine you and just keep the pot probably to smoke it themselves. How the fuck does that help you?


You're obviously from Europe (use of Euros). Not the way it works in the US. In the US, if they're a minor, the police may fine them, and then they'll go to their parents, make sure they get help, whole shpeel. If they're dealing, you can face juvenile detention centers.


Just because nobody understands you, that doesn't mean you're artistic.

it is they need help and the cops can give them that help I'd turn in my parents if they had a problem and needed help thinking that you alone can help an addicted friend is freaking brainless and wrong you are more likely to get addicted to pot yourself then get your friend off the drugs

Learn to spell.

And how do you know she is addicted, as opposed to just liking to smoke it a lot?


I like these calm little moments before the storm.
