If someone that is almost like your best friend is using drugs but not so bad that they need them all the time, and you know it, but you promised you wouldnt tell because that person didnt want you to, should you tell someone before that person gets into trouble or should you get that person into more trouble soon?

Tell this person how you feel, that you are worried about them, and you think they need to quit using drugs. Be prepared to point them in the right direction, NA, a counselor, methadone clinic, etc. Educate yourself about drug use, so that when you talk to your friend, you have facts, and places, they can turn to, if they cant kick it on their own. Talk to someone you trust, who knows about these kinds of things, about the pros and cons of narking on someone, and be prepared for the consequences, if you do decide to tell on your friend. Be sure to tell your friend first, that this is your intention, if this is what you decide to do.
Some people experiment with drugs, others alcohol, and they grow up to be fine stable citizens. However, others cross that fine line, cant handle it, and it ruins their life. Who will turn out which way is hard to say.
Just try not to burn any bridges, because your friend may truly need you one day. On the flip side of this coin is the fact that you have to be careful to not enable them, or let them manipulate you, if they indeed have a problem.
Good luck. This is a tough one. Its not as cut and dry as some people make it out to be.
Hope this helps:

Yes honey tell someone. I have spent the last 15 years of my life wishing somebody would've helped me. I have been sober for a year and a half. But my life is nothing because I was a drug addict. Tell and then tell your friend you are sorry. They may never talk to you again but that is better than them ruining the rest of their lives.

you should worry about yourself, not others. Remember when you were little and people told you not to be a tattle tale. You do not need to associate with this person if you dont want to., but you should mind your own business and stay out of other peoples lives
