I've never done drugs and always tried to distance myself from people that do. I recently made a friend I like a lot who just admitted he smokes now and then. I get that marijuana is becoming more acceptable in our society. I've always felt is kind of a crutch for a lack happiness elsewhere. Would you stop being friends with someone over this?

Alcohol is a drug. Would you stop being friends with somebody because they enjoy a beer? Shouldn't people who drink get their happiness elsewhere, like from pumping iron?

I actually do stop being friends with people who think doing anything fun requires alcohol. I hate the alcohol comparison. It's not even close to the same thing. You get a surprise drug test at work after a night of drinking and you still have a job.

Many places will fail you for alcohol as well as drugs. They can't tell exactly when you were drinking.

There is a huge similarity between alcohol and weed. People use both as recreational relaxants. Alcohol used to be illegal as well. Marijuana is becoming legalized for medical reasons all over the US, and decriminalized in others.
Some people come home from work and have a glass of wine, others may want to hit the bowl. Nobody is getting hurt in either of those scenarios.

I get migraines from alcohol. I am the designated driver always. Weed does not give me migraines and helps me with other issues. I don't drive when I smoke, and have worked for Fortune 50 companies while smoking on the reg.

Did you start thinking differently about this friend when he told you this? His inner core is the same. Smoking weed doesn't make someone bad, or lacking in some way, and if he does it once in a while he obviously doesn't NEED it for fun.

What people do at home is their own business. As long as he's not sacrificing animals or babies, he's probably a decent person. Give him the benefit of the doubt and stop worrying about his occasional toking that has nothing to do with you.

Ever made a new friend............. ON WEED?

Nope. I know one of my professors smokes weed on a daily basis (he admitted so himself) and I also know two dentists who would classify themselves as smokers. Not saying smoking weed is a good or bad thing, but it's certainly not anything abnormal or self-ruining.

id be a very bad friend if i did...i smoked a lot when i was younger, i stopped because i saw no benefits and my pockets were very dry. I took it as a "waste of money" thing and moved on from it...most of my friends still do it and complain about their expenses....I dont say much i just do what i do and move on....my younger sister her boyfriend and my older brother smoke a lot, i cant really hate anyone for doing it...as long as they arent harming anyone.....i smoke a lot of Hookah (shisha) and well its probably worse.

Idk it depends. Like alcohol, weed can be overused. If all he does is hang around the house smoking weed I'd drop him; why would I want to hang with someone like that? Just as if all he did all day was drink. If it truly is occasional then I wouldn't drop him. The only other reason I would drop him is if he tried to pressure me into smoking weed after I told him no.

Yessss to high on life. The journey is sooo worth the trip.

I have stopped being friends with people because they smoked weed around their children, smoked weed while breastfeeding (literally) or sold weed by the thousands of pounds. Never, just for having a toke every once in a while.

Don't be a □, church lady.
