Tell them that it's not cool to talk about doing drugs. Tell them they are acting immature by trying to act cool, but it's making them look like morons.
Tell them you don't care what they do in their free time, but that it's stupid to constantly talk about it. It's like when nine year olds discover porn and keep going on about it to their friends--we all know what porn is but we don't have to keep hearing about how much you like it.
Doing drugs makes the body feel good, that's why they do it. If your friend mentions a drug you don't know, don't say, "What's that?" That makes you sounds ignorant, just blow it off and change the subject.
A little experimenting isn't a bad thing because everyone is going to make mistakes and have to learn from them, but if you really start to see a problem with your friend then talk to her about it. Then if that doesn't work and she's getting in too deep, then I'd say anonymously make a phone call to her mom. It may sound dumb but that's sometimes the only thing that will work.
Best of luck, and please learn how to use grammar.

i think it is maybe cuz they think it is cool. they wanna have "fun", everybody is doing it. people who do drugs for this reason are bascically just retards. they dont have enuff confidence in themselves(im not trying to say the have a mental diagnosis or anything that serious)and dont value any morals and they just do what other people are doing. u guys arent that smart (no offense) u are just 8th graders, u are still learning. u probably want to "save" your friend, u can give her a little "crack is wack" speech but if she doesnt listen tell her parents and stay away from her. stand up for what u believe in and dont let anyone persuade u into doing drugs. whats the point? lots of adult drug addicts start off with weed at the age of 12 or 13 and then move on to harder stuff. tell your parents to take u to another school. i wouldnt be able to stand that stuff. but maybe when u get into high school it will be different.
