I'm a teen, worried about my friends use of marijuana.
I don't want to sound overprotective or "lame" cause that could push them in the wrong direction.
I need to get the idea across that what they're doing could be harmful, and I don't know how.
thanks.

ok i know pot isnt that bad.
i've done it with him, i know why he does it so much, its awesome.
and driving isnt all that difficult.
i just feel like hes missing out on everything else.
we went to a party i dont even remember because we were high.
and its gotten to the point where he has to smoke a lot in able to get high.
it dominates our conversations.
i dont want to make him stop completely.
i just want to be able to hang and not have to turn to drugs for entertainment.

First off marijuana is a terrible gateway drug. The best way is to scare your friends in a joking manner. IE...Did you know that marijuana decreases sexual desire and potency. Just do these jokes every now an then. By the way it is true.

Let us take this from the top. Pot is usually a non-filtered cigarette and it poses the same dangers to your lungs as cigarettes. unfiltered are the worst.
True enough nobody ever overdosed on pot but it does dull your mind and spirit. I know I am a ex pot smoker. I could kick myself for all the time I wasted being high. There are so many more productive things I could have been doing.
And let's be honest the crowd you tend to hang out with who do drugs are not the genius's of this world.
Let me just tell you this as long as you are smoking pot with your boyfriend he is not going to take anything you say seriously about his pot smoking.
I will say this you already know the right thing to say you have said it already in your question. Like how he is missing out on everything and it is taking more and more to get him high and how you want to enjoy his company and you wish he could be straight sometimes and not need pot to make him happy. Tell him just what you told us and see what he has to say.If pot is more important to him then you well you have your answer it may be time for him to go. Good luck gurl.

Out of all the vices society warns us about, weed should be the least of worries. Think about it, if your friends choose weed for fun then that is not all that bad. As long as they don't get too lazy. It's better than turning to drinking which can cause agression. And I think we all know that stoners aren't known to go home and beat their gf's or overdosing and ending up in the hospital, or starting fights while being wasted on liqour or beer. I would just say "hey just don't try to drive and don't do bad in school!" Marijuana is not addicting and is actually now legal to use it under a doctor's prescription. Of course it is illegal for the rest of us so don't get caught.

highlight the bad points of drugs.
* mentally addictive
* affects short term and long term memory
* extremely expensive
* anti-social
* very unhealthy
You could also focus on activites where its just not possible to do drugs, eg jogging, going to the gym, parents, movies, weekends away and 'forget' the drugs, things like that.
