My Best Friend Started smoking weed?

She was asking me what i would do if she smoked the other day and today she said she did some yesterday and she was going to to do it after school but thats the last time and i got mad at her because weed is really bad AND illegal. plus she's 12 and in seventh grade!!!! i tried convincing her not to but she kept saying that it wasnt a big deal but it is! i just want her to stop for her own best interest but she wont listen to me. she said it makes her feel better because she has a lot of problems right now and it helps. i told her the consequences and everything, but to no avail. i dont know what to do! she seriously made me cry because shes my best friend. and like last week she got mad at her boyfriend because he wouldnt stop smoking and now shes doin it and the kids at school are encouraging her. our other friends think its bad but theyre not doing anything to stop it! i dont know how else to convince her to stop!!! please help me:(

    ask her if she's in control, like if she's addicted to it and if she bothers to answer and says she's not addicted, ask her to prove it

    OR you could go tell an adult. it sounds like tattle-telling, but she could go see a counselor and express her problems in a way that's not dangerous

    Weed Best Friends

    Weed is not bad for you. The smoke is way more clean than cig smoke and is okay to be inhaled. In my opinion, weed is much better than the alternative/s. I smoked weed for 10 years and was healthy, when I quit I became an alcoholic and developed high blood pressure. I would recommend weed over drinking hands down, too bad it's illegal.

    Okay, you and your friend are a bit to young to start smoking weed, i smoke every day but 12 years old is way to young. Weed is not such a bad thing tho. Dare brainwashed you into thinking its the worst thing in the world but weed is not addictive, does not destroy brain cells, and is less carcinogenic then cigs. Wait a couple years at least til highschool to start.

    It all depends on whether your friend is smoking some Mexican brick weed or some serious chronic.

    If it's the crappy, smashed-*** Mexican schwag, tell her to stop it or else you'll narc on her.

    If she's smoking the good stuff, you should probably try it too.

    As long as its weed, don't sweat it. Thats her problem...

    If you don't want to do weed, don't do it. Just Never touch ANY other drugs and never get in a car with someone under the influence of any substance/alcohol thats driving! Stay clear of any drug dealers.

    she is WAY too young to be smoking weed. however your arguement sucks. Weed is NOT "really bad" and is only illegal due to racism in the early decades of the 1900's and propaganda spouting illogical claims of KILLER WEED.

    The main concern in your situation is that individuals who use marijuana prior to or during puberty are at a high risk of developing permanent memory problems later as an adult. If they really want to try it, wait until you're older so that you're no longer at risk of permanent memory damage.

    weed is probably going to be legal in california in november so i wouldn't worry about it. she's probably a little young, but as long as she isn't doing it regularly, it shouldn't be a huge problem.
