My best friend started to smoke weed. :-(?

Well ok me and my best friend have been friends for about 3 or 4 years. We have had 1 major fight and we are still best friends. we are basically attached at the hip. well about 2 weeks ago we were at a party at our friends house and this guy asked her if she wanted to smoke. she knows im completely against it. like i think people who smoke weed are just dumb *****. well she did it anyways and just left me at this party with people i didnt even know. well 2 days before that party we went to a kickback and this guy was there she used to like in elementary school was there and now he is a total pot head. well they started talking and now she likes him and she has been coming over to my house and then leaving like an hour later and going to his house. one night she was even supposed to come back and spend the night and she just never came back to my house. well i found out that when she is there she has been smoking. now i dont want to lose her friendship at all but im totally afraid this is going to change her, shes already almost flunking out of college, idk what to do. im afraid she will get mad at me if i talk to her about it and she makes me feel bad when she tells me she goes "i smoked at his house, sorry i know im the worst best friend ever" but i say no your not and i dont care, even though i really do care and i havent been able to sleep for 3 days now. i need help what do i do.
serious answers only please

What to do about friends who smoke weed and drink?

Okay, so I've been friends with my friends for quite some time, some since elementary, others since middle and others still since high school. I have a few groups of friends. The reason I don't mix those groups isn't because one smokes and the others don't, because all of my friends smoke and/or drink. I don't mix them because one person in one group doesn't like someone in the other group, **** like that. Petty drama carried over from middle school or it occurred after a break up of two of my friends. Anyway, no matter who I hang out with on the weekends, by the end of the night someone has either weed or alcohol and I usually participate in smoking/drinking the substance. I'm in tenth grade and I know what this kinda stuff does to you- it's ******* bad. Thing is, when I first started this stuff I figured if I did it in moderation, it wouldn't be as bad. That worked for a while, which meant I only smoked or drank once a month at the max. Then in March I started smoking and drinking every weekend straight. There hasn't a weekend that's gone by since March 4th that I haven't used a substance. I may not have been totally wasted, but I still used the substance.

I really wanna kick this habit. It's horrible for my health, can potentially keep me from getting a job (the place I applied to drug tests) and increases my chances for getting arrested for illegal drugs and underage drinking. All of that is bad. If hardly any of my friends smoked or drank it would be easier for me to quit. But it's hard to resist when no matter who I hang out with they end up having a blunt on them or a bottle of vodka. And the fact that I hang out typically with more than one person puts more pressure on me to do it. You know, peer pressure and all that ****.

So what do I do? I love my friends. Should I find some friends who don't drink/smoke and chill with them more often, or just resist the peer pressure?

P.S. I don't necessarily want to stop drinking and smoking, but definitely want to cut down on it. Like no more than twice a month or something.

Is it okay to smoke weed the night before work?

Tonight, me and my friends plan to smoke weed. It's my first time (not theirs). We plan on lighting up around 2-3 AM, then I'll probably head to sleep at around 5 AM and want to be awake at like 11 AM to get ready for work, which starts at 2 PM (but I need to leave at 1 PM).

So would I be okay if I decided to smoke the night before? Will I feel bad in the morning? And will showering before work remove the smell? All my friends say I'll be fine but they are biased because they obviously want me to do it.

Thanks, and please, no answers on saying how I shouldn't smoke weed. I don't care and I know the "risks."

Is smoking weed at 13 ok?

No, no and furthermore NO!Patrick Alexander is probably being a little tongue in cheek and playing with you. I’ve known hundreds of folks who smoke(d) weed and not one became addicted. And crackhead? No. Ridiculous.However, having said that and telling you that I began smoking at about age 20, I agree with Patrick’s intent: to scare you off weed.Please don’t smoke now. Don’t risk brain rot.Here’s the reason, and it’s an extremely important one:Your 13 year old brain is still growing. Weed will interfere with that growth.That’s it in a nut shell. The teen years are the most important time in your brain growth. Because an extremely important part of your brain is growing: your frontal lobe.Photo: The frontal lobe is that raspberry-colored section upper right.The frontal lobe is where complex thinking happens. Judgement. Impulse control (which teens notoriously lack) Take a few minutes and check out the Wikipedia article on the frontal lobe. Worth a read even if a tad technical. You’ll get the point: it’s the single most important thinking place in your brain.Weed would interfere with frontal lobe growth because of weed’s active ingredient, THC, (Tetrahydrocannabinol if you must know. The high maker) Another Wiki article on THC awaits your expanding teen mind.THC attaches itself to the brain’s fat, and our brains are mostly fat. Smoking weed makes one kinda fuzzy wuzzy and woozy. Very pleasant to be sure, but you don’t want the most important part of your brain permanently fuzzy wuzzy and woozy, do you?“Stoners” are kids who took the risk and started smoking in their early teens. They are sad jokes who will never fully think well. Ever. “Fer sure.”Please think about that. Never is a long time.Stoner in the making. This must NOT be you!Look, I loved marijuana, aka Miss Mary Jane. I spent many a pleasant stoned time with her and friends. Great fun! Wonderful insights into…everything! But I didn’t start smoking until I was in my twenties. My brain had built out to its present eccentric state. Yours hasn’t.Please be patient. Don’t let friends badger you into smoking. Just say, “Later.” Let your fine teen brain grow without damaging additives (that includes alcohol) Then, when you hit your twenties with a fully built brain, fire up. The high will be all the sweeter for the wait.“Awesome! I can’t believe we got this high, ha ha.”
