one of my closest friends gets stoned every friday night...what do i say to tell her to stop...ive already begged her and told her the result of smoking pot and she just ignores me...mabey some of you have been in a situation like this. I just need a little advice

just tell her that while it is her decision its also your decision whether or not you put up with it and stay her friend

I don't understand what the big deal is with her getting stoned once a week? You are exagerating(sp?) a little about the whole issue. Of course it's not the best thing to do but that is her decision, and you losing your friendship over this seems pretty stupid to me. And for fucks sake, she does it once a week you say? What is the big deal?!

My Anti-Drug is my girlfriend. If she truly values your friendship and you tell her honestly that you dont like her doing it she might stop. But reality has to settle in, we all have to make our own decisions. But good luck.

eh...unlike the more hard core drugs..there are not any serious serious immeidate side effects of pot...lung cancer...and becomeing a burn out...its impossible to OD on pot...what you have to worry about is the fact that it is a gateway drug...hon...if your that worried...be a nark...tell her parents...she may hate you forever...but in the long run...she might be eternally gratefull

what do you expect pictures to do? There not gonna be anything special. It will look like a regular picture but instead she will look tired, red eyes, and eyes half closed. If anything she will laugh.

Yeah, take some pic's show them to her. That might get her to stop. Good luck.

I've got mixed feelings about this. I actually know a number of people who use marijuana responsibly...the thing is, none of them are 14.

My advice is to get off her back about it, but to keep an eye on her. If she's doing stupid things while stoned, you can document these things to show to her later when she's in her right mind. If she's just getting stoned once a week and not doing anything particularly stupid, I recommend just letting it go.

You have to face that unless you run with a very religious crowd, a few of your close friends are probably gonna experiment with drugs (in college, this rule applies tenfold). Unless you have legitimate reason to fear for her life, don't let it destroy the friendship.

i talked to her about it..(she wasn't stoned)
and she said that she wants me to get off her back about it.. it told her i only want to help...she is no longer talking to me but you know what....its her loss

face her with the situation with going to jail. ask her if she feel comfortable enough to smoke pot get caught by the police for possesion and then get taken away and ask her how that would feel.
for me personally i think that would make me stop. and when you tell her make sure she's not stoned.

i tried that and my friend she still does it they wont listen untill something bad happens but u just have to keep trying sometimes they will finally listen and stop but they probolay wont.

Show her a picture of someone that is stoned, what could do when stoned, and the effects...show the truth.

Your friend is most likely feeling rebellious, and feels even more empowered when you try to stop her/him, and does it anyway. Maybe try acting like you don't care and see how your friend responds?

Call the cops... tough love is the way to go

either find more people and knock some sense in her, tell her folks or guardians or if it's really drastic cut all ties until she quits and if none of that helps... well theres nothing you can really do besides encourage(force) her to seek help.
