I hate to say this but if someone is on/addicted to drugs the best thing for you to do is leave. there's really nothing that you can do to help especially since he/she is in denial, Its only going to take a toll on you and eventually he/she will drag you down with him(emotionally and financially)

What do you mean, "what should a person do"? Unless "a person" is the one on the drugs. The person who is not on the drugs can go to Al-anon or other community meetings for families of dependent spouses/parents. "A person" could talk to a therapist, or friend and vent out his/her frustrations.
What should "a person" do for the drug abuser? Nothing. It was their choice to get into drugs, it must be their choice to get out.
Good luck!

Smoke some with him or her. Hopefully, it will help you understand YOUR faults. They are smoking for some reason.
Really, the last thing you should do is call the cops. That will certainly bring a bunch of misery into both your lives. The only exceptions to that is if your loved one is stealing or abusing you or your family. If this is the case, get them locked up right away.
I would suggest you try and record them while they are stoned. Another one would be to give them an idea of how much of their life is being wasted, being wasted.

There's nothing you can do, just be there for her. An addict will do everything they can to get their fix, and they will never accept that they're in denial. Don't push her, just be very patience with her and if you can, see if you can follow her, she does keep her drugs away so no one can see it, and if you find that place, you can take it out and throw it away for her sake.......................show her that she still important to you!!

I would take the same path my father took with me when I was growing up. To keep me away from drugs, he told me that if he ever caught me with them, then I would have two options. Call the police myself or he would do it for me.
When it comes to drugs, there's no time to play around, especally if there heavy duty drugs. Tell her your options, she either quits compleatly, or your gone. You cant afford to sit and hope things get better, you have to take this one by the horns or run away. Any other option, and your setting yourself up for pain and torment.
