Then maybe your friends are friends with you because they smoke too. Maybe people who don't smoke don't like hanging around you? Idk much about you, but that's just how that came across to me.

Actually, I've got several straight-edge friends who simply don't care. If your friends judge you over things like that, then I think you need some real friends that aren't so judgmental and accept you for who you are completely.

Honestly, the "you shouldn't care what other people think", line is a croc of shit. You should DEFINITELY care what other people think, especially when it's your friends and family. When it comes down to it, people who say that line are often doing it to excuse doing something they know they shouldn't.

Now, when it comes to drugs, I say do whatever you want, but honestly, I avoid people who do drugs completely. I even avoid people who drink large amounts of alcohol and I dislike socialising with smokers. Why? Because someone under the influence of a drug is unpredictable, they're usually less pleasant to be around and often it can become violent or tiresome. I see little value is sitting with a stoned guy who's laughing at the funny pattern on the ceiling, I find it pathetic. Likewise I don't want to be with someone who'd drunk either, I don't care about your pub-philosophy that only makes sense when you're pissed and I don't want to stagger around the street singing.

In the long run, and this is coming from someone who's high as a fúcking kite as I'm saying this due to the pain meds I take... drugs are a barrier to social activities, if you want to do drugs, do them in moderation and away from your friends, because someone on drugs isn't fun to be around. I know this is true, my moods change rapidly because of my meds, and my friends are good enough to put up with it, but I guarantee they'd rather I didn't need to take them.

Depends on the drugs you're using. I smoke a ton of bud but none of my friends look at me any differently. Hell, most of them smoke too.

I want to know what you think about them.

im asking this because ive got myself in a little situation. i recently started doing some not so good stuff which im not regretting, but i kind of feel like people are avoiding me because of it :/ i know i shouldnt care what others think about it but when my freinds invite me over to "talk" and it turns out its an intervention, im starting to see what they are saying

To the people that dont do dont do drugs, do u avoid people that do, or does it not change your opinion of the person?

doesnt mater if you do them or you dont, just want to know what people think about it

If you have people who actually care about you ( like your friends who actually spends their time to talk with you) then you should avoid drugs. You might not find the drugs bad, but your friends do, so listen to your friends Friends leaves good memories and drugs leaves you alone in your own little high world :p
