How disappointing...

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family, choose a ****ing big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers.

Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends.

Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of !!!!ing fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing sprit-crushing game shows, stuffing !!!!ing junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, !!!!ed-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life.

I chose not to choose life: I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who need reasons when you’ve got heroin?
 
The fact that they were pot heads without you realizing only proves the point that you weren't very good friends with them. I know the majority of my friends have done it, and several still do. It's just so common.
 
They may have been hiding it from him, like I was, whenever talking to my old best friend.

It was like, I'd answer the phone, "WHAT THE FUKC." and this was kind of my personality as I got older.

Then when my old best friend would call, it would take me back to the kid I used to be. "oh, hey, what's going on man?" And I was somebody else. The old me, or something. I knew how he felt about drugs, cigarettes, and alcohol. His mom smoked, and he never touched the shit, and hated it.
 
i don't really give a crap if my friends smoke or not, if they ask me a few times to do it, i'll just politely say no, but if they don't respect my own choices then i'll just stop being friends. it's their choice and it's no real big deal (unless they get addicted on some hardcore drugs and all of that crap, then it's a big deal and i'll try to help them out)
 
I smoke pawt occasionally with my friends. When I was a teenager I did it a lot more and it wasn't as casual. I think it's because it seemed NAUGHTY. Back then it was...more illegal too. (They downgraded it here). So getting together and smoking with my friends when I was like 14 or 15 was a big deal. Sometimes we'd get together JUST to do it.

Now it's much more a case of being somewhere, e.g. a party and someone rolling a joint casssuaalllyyyyy and if you smoke you smoke, if you don't then...you don't. I don't know any non smokers that get butthurt about it, plenty of people I know don't smoke or drink but they let others get on with what they do.
 
I wouldnt be dissapointed if my mates smoked it no, even if they were trying to offer me some, I would just say 'Nah not for me thanks'.

Alcohol is only drug for me!
 
You do know that everyone who has ever tried pot eventually starts shooting heroin on a daily basis, right Van_Halen? It's proven fact.
 
I think its a proven fact that most heroin users started out with pot tho.

I also faced a similar situation with a friend of mine for about 9 years.

Ive known him most of my American life, and we share a deep history.

When I found out, I was pretty damn disappointed, I cant even explain my sense of disappointment, I was just UTTERLY upset. Luckily, he knew he shouldnt be smoking pot, because of his financial situation, as well as educational situation. (both being piss low) Unluckily, he continued, and went on to do other extreme drugs. Obviously, this eventually cost him court time, and fines, get together groups for drug users by court decision, bla bla bla. Also, not to mention a pretty spot on his permanent record.

Although I was terribly upset of him doing drugs, I didnt be less of a friend, but I more or less tried to tell him that he should really get his act together.

Dont take me as a *you do drugs, your bad*. I got another friend who smokes pot, but he does VERY excellent in school, is not financially troubled, and has not gotten to the extreme of drugs past pot. I still dont approve of him doing it, but he is at least in control of his life unlike the other friend.

In other words, it can be upsetting, it can be alright, or it might get worse, you will just have to see.
 
My solution to people who try and get you to do something stupid?

A punch in the nose. Works every time.

 
It's not quite that simple when you've been friends for 5 years, tibbs. :laugh:

But I'll have a talk with him about it. I hope he knows how dangerous Heroin is. I've never heard of pot literally being a direct cause of death to people. Now, heroin on the other hand, people overdose on it all the time, and it ****s them up something major. People like Layne Staley and Kurt Cobain have died from heroin. (Kurt shot himself in the head, but Heroin ruined his life.) I don't support use of other drugs, but I'm not necessarily against it either. Heroin, however, is an exception. heroin kills.
 
You have the power to choose, if you don't want to fill your lungs and brain with crap for giggles then you don't have to. If your 'friends' can't understand that, screw them. You find out who your real friends are if they can't understand serious decision making. Talk to them/him, preferably when they're not already high.

No, I find it to be even MORE potent when you've been friends for a while. I'm nomally very nonviolent, but my friend had PISSED me off once by even mentioning that he was going to try smoking. I punched him in the nose and left. He was angry at first, but he came to his senses real quick later.
 
I dont think i have the heart to punch my friend in the face unless he held me down to the ground and forced me to smoke it. In which case I would beat the shit out of him because I'm much stronger than him.

I hope this is a joke, otherwise you're a pretty big douche bag. He should have broken your arm in return.

How exactly did smoking a joint snowball into discussions about the dangers of heroin? The link between the two is... well, it's not there.

If that isn't a joke then you're a ****ing dickhead and I hope he one day returns the favor by breaking your nose to unrepairable levels.

Where're your fucking balls?
 
Taking drugs does not require balls.

It's not "cool" to take drugs, even though it is ****ing fun. Just like it's not "cool" to drink or whatever. It's just a thing.

I know, I was quoting Joe Pesci.
 
Rizzo's a bigger asshole than him. If you like, I'll go find the thread.

As for ME being an asshole, no.

You punched somebody for contemplating a choice that is very much their own.

I'd say you're an asshole as well as a poor friend, regardless of whether or not Rizzo is.

How does that apply to the aquisition of inhaling foreign substances into myself? Because I believe it takes more guts to make a stand on what you want to do, and say 'no'.

... Willie, who are you?

And how did this turn into Joe Pesci?

Absinthe, it turned into heroin discussion when several people said that smoking pot usually leads to heroin use, which might not necessarily be true, but the numbers sure as hell aren't lying.
 
I read through this entire thread and I missed the point where it turned into "herion killz." Imagine the wtfs I had to endure.

Anyway, yeah, I'd be pissed off if I found out my closest friends smoked pot. Not for the reason that they did, but for the reason they kept it a secret. I'm all about openness, so this would really hurt my trust with them.
 
:(

And his desicion was based off of a survey about his likelyhood of smoking. That's just stupid.

Pot doesn't lead to heroin use. People wanting to do drugs does. That and the black market, which functions as a natural gateway to various other substances. And while most heroin users have smoked marijuana in their life, I challenge you to find me these mythical numbers that demonstrate the reverse. Otherwise this is a logical fallacy.

The two drugs are very different. Nobody sits down to smoke some weed and then laments that it's not completely ****ing them up like some other, harder drug, unless they were previously an addict.

That's what I thought too. But, it sounds like the beginners like to try more hardcore drugs when they finally do pot, so it could also go both ways here. It could be related to an ego boost one feels after they do something they were scared of doing, then liking it. I'd compare it to Zip-lining. Usually scares the shit out of people before they get going, but once they hit the ground they want to go even higher, and the people that do it all the time just sit back and giggle at the newbie wanting to go higher.
