A yesterday my friend asked me if he could borrow money and i said sure, today we all had a plan too go to the mall since there we have a long weekend. There where other guys with us too. when we where sitting at the food court he passed something to my hand wrapped up in tissue papers and said thanks for the money. I just got home and i found a pill in there. Im sure its a drug. What can i do to help him? should i tell someone?

i dont think theres any helping users who LIKE using, other than shear shock and fear. which you cannot provide to them, unfortunately. i say let him know you dont want to get involved with pills, and tell him you are sorry for giving him the money. other than that...how else can you affect him other than taking your valued friendship away. if it matters to him, you will see and he will let you know. if it doesnt...than you shouldnt be friends anyway.

Yes. This is dangerous.
As the mother of a drug addict who started in high school, let me tell you, There's no way you can handle this situation on your own. And there's no way you or your friend are going to get out of this unhurt. Your friend is a rat for putting you into this situation.
OK I'm guessing that you're a minor - so taking matters into your own hands can get you into the kind of legal trouble that your buddies can't help you get out of.
If at all possible, go to your parents. Tell them precisely what happened. If you haven't thrown the pill away, give it to them and ask them to call Joe's parents to discuss the whole thing.
They will probably overreact - most parents do. So try to stay as reasonable as you possibly can.
If you think you can't talk to your folks, then talk to your minister, principal, even your local policeman - any responsible adult. Explain that you lent your pal money thinking he needed money for a trip to the mall and he bought drugs with it instead. Now you don't know what to do.
Unfortunately, doing this will peg you as a snitch. You will have to face a lot of hassle from friends - but then, if they're doing drugs, especially with YOUR money, they really aren't friends.
And if you're pegged as a "stoner" you will be in worse shape than if you're pegged as a snitch.
Blame your friend on this. He's really in deep - and trying to drag you down with him.
Wish I had better things to say - but ditch this friend. He's in deep and trying to pull you down too. Not good.

If you still have the pill go to rxlist.com and use the pill finder to determine what it is. Once you know what he is taking you will have a better handle on what to do for him. You definitely stop financing his habit and once you find out what it is you need to contact someone that can help him. He may hate you for it, but you may also be saving his life. I'll tell you though, he is not going to quit by you just telling him to. He has to want to quit and if it is a major drug he may need a physician's help.
Good Luck!

I think you should go to your friend and ask him why you got this pill in the first place since you don't do drugs and ask him why he had given you the pill instead of the money since you want the money instead of this pill from him, right?

He's not your friend if he's giving you drugs that's for sure. For as long as he doesn't admit he has a problem then there's really nothing you can do. Stop giving him money becuz it's probably for drugs. If you really must tell someone tell an adult that's willing to help.

Tell someone...and stop giving him money now that you know what he does with it..and for heaven's sake don't take anymore "tissue packages" from him. The cops don't care if you didn't know what was in it....and he's no friend of yours if he is giving you drugs to take, he just wants to drag you down with him so he doesn't feel so bad about himself.

this ones kinda hard. i myself used to smoke pot (not really the same but bare wit me) IF u really care about him sit down and talk to him. there is so much bad things that can happend to him and if u dont do anything right now then you'll regret it. go on the internet a look up different drugs and the side effects and tell him. No u shouldnt really tell anyone he'll probably be mad and not trust you its better for U to confront him about it. it had to b some1 he trusts. hope this helps

if you really care about your friend you should inform someone but if you dont care about him leave him alone. but on my opinion let someone to know about this because drugs may cause a serious damage to his brain. dont let your friend be so addicted to this stop him now when there is still time.

You should talk to your counselor at school. He or she can contact your friend's parents without mentioning you. Your friend is in serious trouble and needs help. Stay away from him.
