I was just wondering what do your friends think of your drug use?
Do they encourage you or try to discourage you?..
Do they enjoy drugs with you, or hate that you do drugs?
Do their opinions even matter to you?
Do you lie about drug use to your friends for whatever reason...
and such like
Ive noticed that within a group of friends, views on drugs tend to generally be the same. My friends hated that i do drugs so ive gradually merged into another group that has the same views on drugs as me. Do you think it always works that way?

They all used to smoke loads with me when we were teens, we then both did pills and coke for a little while, with a few of them getting deeper, doing ket and stuff.
But now they have a really snooty attitude, like they'd never touched the stuff, that they are better and healthier drinking 15 pints of Stella. Well they all live with their parents and have bum jobs so I have the last laugh.
Most of the friends I hang around with are just smokers, some of whom occationaly do other stuff. Its just not a big deal.
I've only really got one mate who is as interested/up for experimentation as me.
No i dont lie about drug use to friends, if they ask i tell but if they dont ask i dont really go around talking and talking about it to the non smokers.
It really is, i think, an age/generation thing.
I've had mates who in the past I thought shouldnt be doing acid, but I wouldnt attempt to stop them, what they do is somewhat up to them.
But if it was influencing people around them I would have tried to step in.
My problem with coke is the perception by a lot of people that its a 'clean' drug and that its not dangerous.
