How do you tell your friend that you like hanging out with them, but you don't like it when they smoke weed?

Question

I have told my friend that I associate people who smoke pot as people who are either drugged out losers or dumb. But he thought that by me saying that, that I was untruthful to him as a friend and that I was wrong.I had an epiphany when I smoked pot around a bunch of "friends" and I pictured my life as if it was on television. I could not separate my make believe television show from reality. On my show I was "That Guy" or "The Man", the guy in every group that was looked at as the cool guy, and for some strange reason I couldn't grasp this in reality. So I turned against those that I trusted, which was my brother at the time. I immediately accused him for letting me smoke pot and not making me stop myself, but then I turned on my friend who handed me the pipe and didn't consider the fact that I shouldn't be smoking pot in the first place.(I mean after all, would "The Man" smoke pot, I questioned this forever). So I punched his coffee table and broke it, then I stood up and punched him

Answer 1

Just stop hanging out with them and when they ask, if they ask tell them you'd prefer to "hang out" with someone NOT stoned. I would also suggest making some new friends.. They might not "get it" Good luck

Answer 2

Honestly, there will come a time or 2 in every friendship you have that the other person will be doing something you are not comfortable with and vice versa. Simply tell your friend that although you enjoy hanging out with him, you are not comfortable being around the weed. Your TRUE friends, anlways remember this, will never PURPOSELY put you in a situation that you are uncomfortable being in.

Set aside time for you and him to hang out doing other things and don't be afraid to simply walk away from him when he lights up. Friendship does involve sacrifices, but everything has a limit.

Answer 3

before I answer, let me get this straight...you ruined someone's coffee table (you owe him money to get it fixed) and you punched out someone (assault and maybe jail time) because "someone" didn't stop you from smoking weed? Huh? And then in your sentences you contradict yourself...first you allow smoking (weed) and then you don't allow smoking. First you need to get your story straight, then you need to understand that weed is messing you up, then you need to know the responsibility to quit your habit or be prevented from your habit is up to only you and no one else can do that for you, and you need to know that smoking (whether it is cigarette smoking or weed smoking) is a habit an an addiction and to get off of it you need to find out why you do it, if it has run in your family and you've learned from observation, or if it's the friends you hang around with who are the influence. To halt your habit you need psychological assistance (to understand why you have the habit, like is it that you lack something in your dna or in your blood) and then you need to start going to AA, and you need to drop your friends that smoke (any kind of smoking) and try to change your life. AA expects that you will "fall off" from time to time, but you need to get serious about this and move on without your friends and family who do the smoking.

Find some new friends or your going to find yourself smoking along to fit in. Next thing you know your gonna be that loser druggie guy hang'n on the corner beggin for dope money. Get your head together and let your main focus be your education. Don't forget it's your body you'll be doing damage too!

Answer 5

OMG! Okay, here's what you do... tell them the truth! Don't be afraid to tell you friends how you feel about things. Wouldn't you want them to be honest with you about their feelings? Then do the same to them! Being around someone who has drugs, or is using drugs, you are only risking getting caught with them. You will get arrested if you are caught with someone while they are doing drugs. How are the cops to know at that moment that you aren't involved? If you care about them, tell them the truth. By your being honest and taking a stand might make them open their eyes and re-think what they are doing and turn their life around.

Draw a picture of them with all of the long-term signs of smoking weed. Ask them if that is what they want. (The effects are DISGUSTING!)
