In the shift between high school and college, I lost a lot of my friends for reasons like that. They thought being older justified partying all the time, doing drugs, etc. I was never sad about it, just disappointed. I grew up with a lot of these people, and I knew they were smarter than they were acting. Eventually it got to the point where they just didn't care how I felt about it, and I didn't really want to care if they weren't going to. Now we've gone our separate ways, and quite honestly, I'm happier with a smaller group of close friends.
If your friend cares enough, talk to them, let them know what's bothering you. If they don't care what you have to say, then you shouldn't either.
i've talked to her about it, but she's really not wanting to blame the weed for her behavior
confused
i can just feel myself losing her to it
and
it sucks.
thanks for the advice, though. seems like everyone does something these days
It's not the weed. It's her inability to resist the desire to smoke. Weed is a physically non-addictive drug. There are no withdrawl symptoms. Weed doesn't really fight depression in the way proper medication or, better yet, proper counselling can do. If weed could cure depression, I would have been cured years ago.
I smoke pot, and have seen my friends drastically changed by much harder drugs. There is hope for your sister, she needs to realize that her habits may be abusing the thing she's doing to try and help herself; no one needs to be stoned every minute of everyday. I would consider talking to her again about it, but educate yourself for that fight first; it's easier to try and make your points if you're well informed on the subject at hand.
I also recommend finding another therapist. The one you currently have clearly doesn't work.
