Am I a bad person because I want to do drugs?

[TheRedViper]

A girl that I'm really good friends with - in fact we're probably best friends - has been doing various drugs for ages, and she's only 16. She'd tell me about how she'd take all these drugs - weed, meth, coke - and she also admitted that she sold drugs as well for a while. Not exactly a great thing to do, but she's my friend so I withheld judgement.

I was talking to her for ages on my phone earlier this morning, and she told me she had just done a bit of meth, and I could tell, cause she was talking really fast and randomly. She said that she really wants to see me try some drugs with her, cause she thinks it'd be funny to see how I act, and cause she knows I want to at least try some drugs. She said we would at some point, but she promised she wouldn't give me too much that would be risky.

I really want to try drugs, but I feel bad at the same time, because just last night my mum made me promise that I wouldn't do anything like that. She doesn't understand though. I'm 17, but she still treats me like I'm 12. She wants me to be very sheltered and not do anything new or independent in the world. She pretty much doesn't want me to make my own decisions. I understand that she just wants me to be safe and healthy, but I want to be more independent and to try new things.

Anyway, my friend said that she wants to take me to a party, and so I can try a line of coke or something. I agreed that I would, because I actually trust her not to be an idiot. She also said that she'd let me try meth and weed as well, so I can see what it's like. I really want to do this, and I will, but I don't know, I just feel slightly bad deep down for going against what my mum said, but at the same time I want more independence in my life, and I want to make my own decisions. Does that make me so bad?

Making your own decisions and living your life how you want to doesn't make you "bad", but doing drugs like meth and coke will greatly impact your life in a negative way. They are very addictive, and no matter how much your friend tries to make it seem like they're safe, they're not. It's very easy to overdose if you don't know what you're doing, and those drugs are pretty unsafe in themselves. A lot of coke out there is cut with either baking soda, baby powder, ketamine, or other chemicals to make it cheaper to make, and make it look like there is a greater amount. You're making a very poor choice in doing those drugs with your friend, I advise that you don't.

I wouldn't worry about trying weed, but coke and meth are both very addictive and very dangerous. You'll regret using them. It's not worth it.

Making your "first" own decision be like that is fucking your life up straight away. If you want more freedom, there are countless ways to achieve it, but doing drugs will only reduce it.

I strongly advice against that

I don't think it makes you a bad person but probably not a very sensible person. Cocaine and meth will have a huge impact and I don't know if you should take these risks just for the sake of trying it...drugs have ruined so many things, so think twice.

I think it's dumb as fuck you want to do drugs but if you ARE going to do them it's good ur letting someone with major experience introduce you. That shows sense
