How should I help my friend who has a drug problem?

This friend of mine has been smoking pot for the past few years, but recently she told me she tried meth. This terrifies me because I have seen so many people who are in a bad place because of that drug. People I talk to seem to think it's no big deal & I should mind my own business. Can I do anything to help this friend or should I just let her do what she will?

    Not really too much you can do. And people you talk to think its no big deal? What the hell, pot isn't really a big deal, but meth is a destructive and addictive drug, definitely nothing good will come from using it. Just strongly discourage her from ******* with meth

    I used to have a drug problem. It started with pot and slowly progressed. She will probably do what she wants, but that does not mean you shouldn't try to help her. Tell her your worries and why you feel the way you do. You may even want to mention a self help group such as NA or others.

    She has to show the truth of her desire to change it. Begins with self awareness. You can only support her to always leave the bad habits
