It seems to me as though any topic is A-OK here, but please correct me if this is inappropriate.
Iv'e always been against drugs. Iv'e always been scared of them and 100% sure that I would never even try any kind.
I think you can tell where this is going...
So I have some friends who most would call, you know, potheads.
Me and my bff decided to hang with them and try pot for our 1st time last friday.
On sunday we did it again.
Ever since, drama is everywhere... and I just feel like an idiot. Everyone tells you it's bad, that you shouldn't do it! EVERYWHERE you look for advice it says to stop! So why can't I just obey that and make a smart choice like I always do? I'm not stupid, I don't know why I'm doing this. I'm scared that I will grow dependent and I feel like my friends already changing! I want her back! I want everything back! She's not herself anymore! I know I'm overreacting...it's only been two times. But it really sucks to have no one to talk to right now. And my friend and I have already been planning to do it again...
It's not hard to tell that my group of friends either do or have tried pot before, and one of my other bffs suspects it. Iv'e been lying to her on and on. She's really fragile and I can't tell her or she'll fall apart. She's already dealing with to much right now.
I really need someone to talk to. Someone please help me out...

Well my friend, I smoke pot quite frequently and my first time was very similar to it. Some of your friends didn't talk to you because you smoked it, you gain other friends that do smoke pot, and some people just stay the same. To be honest though, "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
And as for your bff, she has changed you said? How? And was it immediately after your first time?

She's usually kind of irritated and corrects everything and just says smart stuff all the time hee. It doesn't sound that great but it's who she is and now she's just stupid and hyper. I don't want my whole personality to change, neither my friends...

Well to be honest, smoking pot changed me so much. Mentally, Physically, and Academically. Its a drug and all of them alter the way your body normally functions. To be honest, you are going to lose some friends, but the ones who stay are your true friends. So the best thing you can do, is just tell your bff how you feel and maybe something good will happen out of it. You never know until you try.
Not to sound like a hypocrite, but weed is something you don't want to start doing as an everyday thing. Just smoke it occasionally. If you want I can tell you some things that its done to me this past year.
Well, drugs and booze are a part of our culture, and even though you might have really good intentions to not use, sometimes (as you see) it's hard. Call it human weakness..we often fall short of our ideals.
There are lots of reasons to do just about anything, but it's unclear here what your reasons are, I get this vague sense that it's b/c everyone else did, and it was one of those spontaneous 'spur of the moment' things. Getting swept up in the moment, esp, of others are, too..makes it easier to forget our ideals and values. Yet, on reflection, you sound remorseful.
What to do? Well, for starters, remember that who you are..your values and ideals and morals and all..are still there even if others around you don't or can't share them. That makes it easier to say no and be true to yourself..and if the people you;re with are real friends, they'll accept that, b/c friends respect other friends choices, even when they're different.
Lastly, I have never, ever met anyone who wakes up one day and decides to be a 'pothead' (as you call them). It starts out innocently as you've described, reinforced by group behavior..until it;s just a part of your life. It's easy to 'experiment', it's easy to be curious..but it's a lot harder to decide what the outcome of your little experiment is and what you plan to do with the results!
I think you should stop..
And talk to your friend and try to persuade her to do the same...
If she stops then you know shes a real true friend ...
Hope this helps xx
