View Full Version : I want to try weed but can't because of my friend

I myself am not a regular smoker, nor do I own any or buy them, since even if I wanted to I couldn't myself because I'm underage. But I have a friend who is the same age as me and she is a regular smoker. She goes through about a pack a week at least, and has been smoking since she was 13. I'm not really a judgemental person, so I don't care really, it's never bothered me.

A few months ago we were sitting outside a shopping centre and she started smoking and asked if I wanted to try it. I said yes and did try, although I was hopeless at it, since I didn't inhale it properly, according to her. She taught me how to do it properly, and eventually I could kind of do it better, but not completely yet. She still said I wasn't breathing it in enough, even though I felt I was.

But to the actual point of my story, a few days ago we met up at the shops, and she got an older guy, who she kind of knew, to buy a pack for her. Once he did we sat outside a McDonalds and just talked while smoking. She made a comment to him about how I didn't smoke (as if somehow mocking me) and I said defensively that I did only when she did, since I can't get them myself. So she gave me one, and passed me her lighter, but I'm absolutely useless when it comes to lighters, and had never used one before. She ended up lighting it, after I still failed to do it even when they showed me how. I felt like a complete idiot. She then told the other guy that the reason she didn't smoke weed with me was because she thought I wouldn't do it properly (ie inhale it properly). This kind of annoyed me, since I actually asked her in the past if I could try some weed with her, but she laughed and said no. This was weird because before that point she always talked about weed and would often say I should try it and has on a couple of occasions offered me some, but on the first occasion she forgot she ran out, and the second time we were in school, so I told her not at that time. That's why it was weird she said no when I asked her at a later point via text. When she told her friend her reason I guess it made sense, but she was very patient when it came to me smoking cigarettes, so I don't understand why she would suddenly not decide to let me smoke weed with her. Is there any way I can raise this subject with her and tell her I wouldn't mess it up when smoking weed? We only speak via text and Facebook chat now, since school has finished and we're on holidays. I saw her two days ago when we arranged to catch up, so I guess I can do that again. A while ago I lent her a DVD and she said she lost it, but would look for it, so I thought that maybe if she told me she found it I could offer to come over so we could finish watching it (it was the anime series Death Note) and ask her then if I could try some weed with her. I've been over to her house before, and the first time she even offered me some, but forgot she ran out, so it wouldn't be too presumptuous or rude to ask her, I suppose. What do you guys think? I'm just worried that since she's my only friend who I know smokes weed and since she isn't coming back to my school next year I won't even get the chance again to do it.

I'm going to be "That guy" but it seems like you're wanting to smoke cigarettes/pot to just smoke cigarettes/pot. Also for you to lend her an item and it suddenly "getting lost". Honestly, pot isn't even that great, there is absolutely nothing you're missing out on. I'd also point a few more things, but I'll keep this short. ,

Your friend seems young. If this hasn't come to you, where does she get the money for cigarettes/weed.

She only just turned 16 last month. I'm ten months older than her. She lost the DVD because she said her mum (who is kind of crazy sometimes) got angry at her for some reason and threw heaps of her stuff outside, and that she can't find some of it. She got her money from working at McDonalds, but she quit a few days ago. I'm pretty sure she may also do certain, uh... favours... for guys for weed and stuff. As you say, weed isn't that special, but I'd like to at least try it, since I actually enjoy and like cigarettes, even though I only smoke them very rarely, so I might enjoy that.

I'm all for experimentation. Just please make sure you do it w ppl you trust. That goes for sex/drugs/other illicit activities.

Oh I definitely trust her. I've known her for nearly two years now and we've become very good friends. She would never betray my trust, and vice versa.

Makes sense now. If/when you do it just be safe.

How exactly do you guys think I should bring it up? The last time I asked was via text, and I pretty much asked if she still had anything from when she picked up, and she said yes and asked why, and I told her and she didn't take me seriously and thought I was kidding, but I told her I wasn't, and she said no because apparently it is bad for you, but when I countered that she offers me cigarettes all the time (I had three the other day ffs!) she had nothing to say to that. I think if I ask her face to face she might change her mind, and now that I actually know the reason she said no I could tell her that I promise I won't fuck it up and I'll do it properly. I dunno, I get kind of nervous when asking her about this.
