    How do you mean a few near misses ...what kind of near misses?
    Like other poster said ...speak of your concerns but ...over a drink maybe ...not in a lecturing manner.
    Hold your hands up that your ignorant and tell him your interested in his need for these things as well as concerned.

    I'd be interested in the 'near misses' too. Alcohol and cigarettes kills more people that E's do every year.

    Also although your concerned do be aware that there is often a big divide in perspective between people who do and dont' take drugs. So for me i'm not worried about friends who take coke at weekends and on the occasional school night but not every day vs a friend who has a serious heroin problem. Just be aware that if you come accross as too patronising you could end up isolating him from you further...

    Agreed with Wyetry.

    It's a difficult subject to comment on without really knowing the person. I mean, every one of my mates (and myself) indulge on the weekends, usually with a different number of drugs and we're OK. We've never hit a point where we've actually needed it to cope with day-to-day life or to enjoy ourselves. It just enhances.

    I'd also like to hear about these near misses too. As long as your friend does some research and knows his limits then he shouldn't have any problems! Although, as I said, it's hard to judge seeing as we don't actually know the person involved.

    ETA: But fair play for being worried about your mate and asking for advice! He's lucky to have such a cool friend.

    The near misses are that he has had to have his stomach pumped twice now because he has taken some dodgy stuff from someone in a club on both occasions...being there both times seeing it happen is summat ill never forget :(

    Ive tried talking to him before over drinks and he has just gone off on one and got angry saying that i dont understand cuz i dont do anything like it, which is fair enough cuz i dont understand but he gets rele overly defensive about it, ive only ever spoke to him bout it once before i came on her to get advice so it was rele scary cuz hes not usually like that bout stuff :(

    Thanks for all the comments so far :)
