Well how did you feel when you met up with him, & found out he was high on drugs? Angry? Scared? Dissapointed?
I certainly hope you weren't feeling happy, or excited, & I am sure you weren't.
So tell him how you felt about it.
Maybe you feel uncomfortable to be around him now if there's a chance he's going to get high again.
If that's true then tell him so. It was probably peer pressure that helped him decide to try drugs, so it can be peer pressure that will help him decide to stop, or at least get help to stop.
Now I don't want you to feel that I am trying to tell you to take on the responsibility of getting him to stay clean & sober. That is his responsibility if he's an adult, or it's his parents responsibility if he isn't. So if he isn't an adult, then make sure that a responsible adult (preferrably his parents) is aware that he is experimenting with oxy. Alternately you can tell your parents, or a teacher or councellor at the school.
You can tell someone, & ask them to not reveal the source if you want. So he won't have to know where his parents got their information. But it's very important that they know ASAP.
You asked for advice, so there's mine for you to take & combine with your own widsom & knowledge of the situation. All I hope is that whatever you do, it's something that you can both live with, & be proud of.
Have a good Tuesday.

Most people start using alcohol, drugs and cigs to look cool and popular and then regret it the rest of their lives when they cannot kick the habit. He needs to know it is not cute, and definitely not cool. With all the knowledge there is out there about the effects of drugs it baffles me why anyone would do it. Makes one line of a song go through my head that was on the Wizard of Oz, "If I only had a brain". Mmm

Find out why he's doing drugs. Then, make the decision, stay his friend or not stay his friend. ( A friend is someone who will never lead you into harms way) You might have to seek help for him to save his life. Especially when it just happend all of a sudden. He might be trying to numb himself.

tell him to forget about drugs...he will not benefit from it.... ask him first why he does that, he might be into trouble and he might find a solution to you as a friend... advices is what he needs, and solution is you.... try harder...it will work...your friends after all.. i hope he listens... i have a friend also who was hooked on drugs, and i did tell him to stop...he asked me 10 reason why he should and right there and then, i told him " i dont need to answer 10, 3 is enough for you to stop, God, family and me, your friend" ,,,, and presto! now, he's a clean living person, it worked for my friend, i hope it does to your friend...goodluck dear...

Ignore him. If he mentions anything you can tell him that you don't feel comfortable around someone who is using drugs and that you expected that he would not be a druggie. I would encourage him to seek out counselling as it needs to be controlled and stopped now before it escalates and he looses himself to drugs.

You should confide in a counselor or someone else you can talk to privately(& still try to talk to this person),because people overdose on that stuff.Do what you have to do to help save your friend before it's too late!!!!

I'm sorry, but you need to forget being his friend. I mean, if he starts pressuring you to do drugs, what will you do? Saying no might not be enough. Just forget about being his friend, and find a new friend that doesn't do drugs. It's for your own good.

hmmm..oh boy thats hard..Try to get him help he won't like it but in the long run it will help,or just act like everything is fine try not to think about it just see him as the same man,or just cut ties with him he could force you to do something you don't want to and its not good to be around that..so just choose which one is best
