Earlier this year (about March 2018), me and my best friend (let’s call him H) went to his friends house to get some camera equipment (and let’s call his friend M). Before going to his house that day, we both have never done drugs or even thought about doing it, but we knew M smoked. We got inside and M was smoking from a dab pen. M offered us to try and I thought "sure, why not", but of course I was scared since I had never gotten high before. So the only way that I would try was if H did it with me, since I had know him for so long I felt comfortable doing it with him. We both take a some hits and we leave M’s house. We both kinda liked the feeling, but thought we wouldn’t try it again cuz it was too risky.

A few weeks later, H buys his own dab pen and starts smoking regularly. When he doesn’t smoke, he tells me how much he misses it and he just wants a hit. He feels like he’s going crazy when he takes it, and he’s down when he’s not taking it. He says that talks to himself when he’s not high and he’s always thinking of weird things. I’m always worried that it was caused by him using drugs but idk.

May comes around and his parents find out, they flip shit and take away his car, monitor him all the time, and drug test him regularly. His parents don’t know that I got him onto drugs.

One weekend comes and his parents went out of town, he REALLY wanted to get high, but wanted something that would leave his system quick so his parents wouldn’t know. He finds out LSD gets out your system fast so he gets some. I wanted to make sure he was okay so I watched over him the whole time, which is apparently a 12 hour high.

Now his parents trust him more so they don’t drug test him. However, because of this, he started smoking again, but with regular weed (since dab and regular weed are different, idk)

A few weeks ago, he started talking to this girl who he really likes, but she’s a heavy drug user, and kinda a bad influence. She’s done weed, Xanax, molly, and coke. She’s been inviting him to her friends house so they can hang out and do drugs together.

I try my best to tell him to stop, but he still goes back to it sometimes, and him hanging with her doesn’t help. I try to tell him that he should stop/slow down, but him being with her keeps the pace he’s at now. I can’t really tell him to stop talking with her as well, since this is one of the first girls to talk with him and I know he’ll be sad to stop hanging out with him. This is all my fault since I know I gave him the first hit. The most I think I can do for him now is just be his DD since the parties he goes to have drugs and alcohol. I just hope he doesn’t get into anything worse.
