How can I tell my friend that pot is really screwing her up. She has to do it everyday. I used to live with her and she had to smoke before doing anything. Cleaning, going out, ect.... She says it helps with anxiety but I said it is just making it not be yourself. Anxiety is a part of life. I said maybe you should stop and she says well pot is not a real drunk anyways.

Yes it is......my ex-husband did it from the time he got up in the morning til the time he went to be at night, and it put a HUGE strain on our marriage, as you can tell, I said ex....anyway, it is just a cop out for her problems, and is going to hurt her later on. Good luck!!!!

Where was she during drug education in school? Marijuana is one of the most widely used drugs and yes it does cause all kinds of problems for the people who use it, lack of motivation, disruption in their lives, being dependent on it. Go on the internet and pick out some sites with useful info that you can mail to her or give to her the next time you see her and highlight the areas which really apply to her. And then make sure you're very supportive if she decides to try to give it up and check out ways to help her do it. You could also maybe talk to a local doctor to get into and ideas. Good luck and God Bless.

if shes doing it that much, then yea she probably needs some help. If its only once a day or every weekend like i do it, then i dont see it taking any effect on me. I am a very smart girl, but i get very bad anxiety and headaches so this helps me deal with that. Try to talk to her about it. Maybe suggest you actually see a difference in her, thats she not herself. Weed is a drug, but its not nearly as bad as drinking or smoking cigarettes which is why many people choose this instead.

it sounds like you've already told your friend.
if she has anxiety issues, maybe she needs more than pot... a doctor and therapy sometimes works.
i have a friend who has smoked pot on a daily basis for YEARS.. and it's turned her into a total DINGBAT! it's a shame too, because she's such a creative intelligent woman.
and my son in law smokes pot for a living i think. he's lazy, can't hold down a job and doesn't care.
i guess we all have a crutch.. it has to be your friend's choice to quit.
take care ok?

It is a drug and can really mess up someone and their reputation. There are lot of other simple things that can help with anxiety such as exercise, change in diet, sleep, decreasing the stress in your environment + all natural supplements if need be. But you don't need drugs- that's just foolish!

well It depends where you live, if the goverment thinks its a drug, but for my opion it is a drug it makes some people do crazy stuff and pot is really hard to quit also, so i would tell her i dont think ita good idea for you too keep doing it all the time like you do, it makes me feel uncomfortable i really would like to be friends with you still, so can we make some chandges there, hopefully that will help you.

There is nothing wrong with pot. You are being ignorant. If she has anxiety issues its way better to be doing something natural then be hooked on xanax or some other man-medication. Marijuana causes no harm.

first off even though it will hurt you need to distance yourself from her, if you are out together and she gets busted for any reason and they find the pot you can go down too. If she brings it to your home, you can lose your home and go to jail.
It is illegal and it is a drug.

It's mind altering, that's a drug. You said it yourself, "She has to do it everyday" "she had to smoke before doing anything"
that's the inability to face it herself, that's dependency on a drug. Good for you for caring so much.
