me and my friend used toke every day, my best memories are always with him and weve had some awesome times getting high together. but now his mom caught him and he wants to stop toking. i really dont want him to because that will take a huge part out of my life but obviously im not gonna be selfish and pressure him into it. still, i really want him to start again cause hes missing out on so many good times and he seems real unhappy. anyway, hes gotten into this "cleaner-than-thou" mind set and has started lecturing me on how im throwing my life away and im a bad influence on people and all that stuff. stupid parents, always ruining happiness. why does everything fall apart?
Thats somthing that just happens with drugs. He has a valid point though, a lot of people do throw their lives away with drugs. Dont bitch at me about saying that, I dont need to hear it. Doing drugs isnt always the best thing. If you feel comfortable doing it and know its not a problem, do it. Somtimes people cant notice their own problems. Talk to some people about it that you personally know and see what they say. As being a bad influence. I dont think you can be a bad influence just because you do drugs unless you make it apparent you do them and try to get other people into them by pressuring. Ive seen people go through the same things, thinking about quitting, let him come back in time. Its his life his choice. I definetly would say not to try to get him into somthing he doesnt want in. He may feel better not doing them even though he appears sad.
I'm willing to bet that he wants to smoke deep down but since he can't he wants you to quit also so he won't be left out. I know this because I had to quit for drug testing reasons and I started bashing pot smoking to friends that did for the reasons above. I know I like it, I have nothing against it, I just get annoyed when I can't do it.
i disagree with that idea, i dont think many stoners would do that. especially with that much smokin on his belt. hes trully been converted. its jsut up to you to get him back. take my advice, give him time. dont raise the subject, but talk about gettin high as you would used to have. whenever he lectures, tell him, it his choice not to do it as much as it is your choice to do it. if he really is an awesome guy and a good friend, hell come through with time, and with the longing for pot. if you argue with him, youll only ruin your friendship and hell get angry at you AND pot. if you argue a lie for long enough, yull believe it. so dont let him fall into that. time.
yah i've had a ton of friends that stopped smoking for one reason or another. some of them stay clean and some of them come back. some of them stop being friends cause they don't wanna get tempted and some of them have enough self control to be around it and not smoke. i think just give him time to get things straight. you said his mom caught him and he probably gets mad heat at home. it's no fun going home just to get yelled out, it's a pretty big burnout. if he's really your friend, then maybe you should try to find other things you can do with him besides smoking. but if he starts lecturing you again on why not to smoke, punch him in balls and shove a blunt down his throat.
The same thing happened to my friend about a month ago. He told his parents that he smoked and they told him they wanted him to stop and they kept a close eye on him for a while. Now it's been about a month and he's smoking again..no more anti-pot stuff from him..he's a typical stoner now He's probably just frustrated that he can't smoke and he's bashing it. I did that with cigarettes..I had quit them and whenever people would smoke I would bash it..even though I wanted a cigarette deep down inside.
