Here in the middle of illinois there isnt much to do, so most of the high school kids are always looking for their next high. I was one of those kids for a long time, but then I thought about it and realized that if I am unable to have a fun time with my friends without being ****ed up, then either me, my friends, or all of us have problems. So, I decided to give up everything mind altering. This was VERY hard, being that I dont really have any serious hobbies to occupy my time, and I dont have any friends that dont do drugs--- or even friends who do them sometimes, but not all the time. So I went on a search for new friends and I didnt find ****. The only people I could find were the nerdy computer kids or some goofy ass sXe punk kids, and other various people who I definitely wouldn't enjoy being around. So basically, I changed my mind and decided I would get ****ed up every once in a while, on weekends, and now I am back in my old habit of smoking pot pretty much every day. I honestly can't have a good time with these people if I am not smoking. I try to strike up all kinds of conversation, but they either answer in the shortest way possible so it is hard to keep it going, or they somehow turn the converasation into something weed-related. Most of the time these people just talk about where/when/what/how much they smoked or are about to smoke. Really not the type of people I want as friends anyways, but its better than being a loner. So in your opinion, would it be best to give the friends up and just be alone until I find some new ones?
Tired of this ****.

I'm in a somewhat similar situation... I think the answer is to just branch out into clubs, hobbies, etc. I smoke a lot of weed too, and I hang out with those people a lot... But I also do debate and some other stuff, so I have options. I like my stoner friends, but I don't have to hang out with them all the time. It works out.

I did this about 8 months back. It was hard I had to convince myself that I wouldnt smoke anymore weed. Then I went without any real friends for a couple of weeks and i just managed to find some real cool kids. I still talk to my old friends I just dont smoke weed with them anymore. SO if you put your mind to it you can do it.

hey man i have some straight edge friend and they're AWESOME the ones i know are into hardcore music.
They know how to have real fun man.
when i'm with them i'm always laughing and we're always doing something great. Not to mention that they're pretty much DJ's.
(One of them is known as the "ring leader" of the city) and they're all badass tough guys that don't take **** from no one. One time i was talking to one of them (Rob) about this girl i liked and he said "just don't get all ga ga over her, act like she's not that important and she'll be like hm...."
Seriously man no one ****s with these guys either. Don't talk **** on Straight Edge guys man. They're like the truest friends i've had. My friend Rob doesn't ditch me, and he's 2 years older than me. (so are most of the rest of them) I'm 16 by the way. I'm telling you man i don't know about the ones in your area but give them a shot. They know how to have fun.

I would say to go pick up a hobbie and meet new friends while keeping your old. If your old friends aren't your friends anymore, you'd know if they were true or not. Honestly, just go and play basketball with the kids that are really into it. It's all about having a good time, and i find myself having a very good time playing basketball.
for a period of time, i found nothing exciting to do besides drinking, and i knew that that was probably the worst thing to do. i still go drinking, but i found a new hobbie. have a change in your life. small changes lead to a better life. go jogging, go play ball, go meet new people.. if you step outside of your comfort zone, you'll become happier and experience a greater sense of what it is to live life better.
