Answer 1

You should let him know that his drug taking is worrying you and you feel uncomfortable about it! As a friend you shouldnt turn your back and offer to support and educate him as much as possible. At the end of the day its his choice and as long as he is responsible and in control the risks are minimal! If he respects your feelings he should refrain from taking drugs when your around and around. Good luck

Answer 2

what kind of drugs, how often, and what led to this ? All of these are significant issues. I'm not pro-drugs but lets be realistic here, is he smoking weed a couple times a week or meth 4 times a day? Was this brought to you in a way that he seemed like he was spiraling out of control or was it in passing? Has he recently gone through a traumatic event? Like if his parents are addicts and he's seeing no other path for him then try an intervention, and don't take this on your self. NOTHING YOU SAY WILL CONTROL HIS BEHAVIOR. I'm not yelling at you but you need to also consider how this will affect you, if you think that someone will tell you some brillant answer that will immediately change his mind then you will be sorely disappointed and quickly exhausted. The only thing that ever causes a drug addict to change his/her behavior is hitting rock bottom. He would litereally need to "screw up his life" to break the cycle. You know the song by The Fray from Grey's Anantomy--"How to Save a Life" well it sounds like its about the last conversation you have before you break up but it was actually written about a friend of the lead singer who they had a drug intervention with. Listen to the words.

Answer 3

well, I think you should listen to him. Usually when people take drugs, they don't tell anyone. and the fact that he has told you means he trust you more then anything. Let him talk as much possible. He probably will tell you the reason behind it also. May be you can help him solve that problem. If that also does not work then I think you should suggest him or take him to some doctor who can help him. So go meet him personally( not on the phone or online), and talk to him. Make him feel that there are people like you who care for him and want him to live happily. Drug addicts feel lonely all the time. Friends need friends in such situation and one should always be there to help.:)

Answer 4

Well it depends on what drugs he's doing and how often. If its just weed and or coke on a recreational basis, I do both and know many who do, and its really not a problem. But also many people do to them and develop problems quickly. It all depends on the person and the frequency. If its more hardcore drugs and he has a problem, you may want to research the effects of long term hardcore drug usage, which can be devastating. I'm not condoning drug use, I dont recommend it, but some people can use them recreationally and some people have problems, it all depends on the situation, you need to get more information and address it from there.

Answer 5

There is not much you can say without him becoming defensive
about it. Preaching will just drive him further into it. On the other hand, you can show him up front how good life can be without drugs. Try to maintain his friendship. He does need to know
that drugs will alter his personality and that, you don't know
if you could continue to be a friend to someone who is a different
person. Allow him to make a choice...but try not to be too
confrontational about it.

Answer 6

Let him talk to you, but get your hands on as much information on drug abuse as you can, including photos there are plenty on the net even of little kids that are affected by it.

I wish you all the luck in the world as this is a big problem that you are going to try and deal with. When your friend comes over for the talk as them if they would be willing to come to a drug rehabilitation/councillors with you, but don't push the subject it will have to be their choice for any success.

Answer 7

I believe u should be honest on telling your friend on how you really feel about it. When you care about some one you tell the truth even if it hurts their feeling. After you tell then how u feel about them using the drugs then its up to you on what you need to do next. But still stand by your friend cause he needs you as a friend. Most people who turn to drugs is because they are feeling like they are missing something in life or going through something. So, don't give up on them cause you can still save your friend.

Answer 8

Tell.
You are young, right?
Tell his parents. Tell the school counselor. Tell the principal. Tell the police.
If you really want to help your friend, rat him out right now. Ask his parents to put him in rehab. He might not appreciate you for it at the time, but you'll know you did the right thing. And he'll be glad later when he's clean.

Answer 9

Sit him down, in person, and have a straight up talk to him about how you feel about the situation..

Let him know it hurts you and scares you..and that you are truely worried about him..

If you have to keep him out of your life, untill he gives up the "drugs", you just might have to ..he will come around and it will work out for the best in the end...

Answer 10

If he's doing drugs you don't want to be around him. Bad things happen to drug users, abusers, dealers and to those around them such as family and friends. Give him a choice. He can do drugs or he can keep his friends. If he decides he wants to do drugs you don't want to be a part of his life. Good luck.
