Well I guess I'm going to be the black sheep of this thread, but I disagree with most of you. And I have experience to back it up.
I'm not going to preach the fouls of drug use here. I've smoked myself.
My point is, it you really care about this person and want to see them quit, don't stop trying. Do whatever it takes to get in between this person and the drugs. She may hate you, so what. Don't stop until she's clean.
My experience: My best friend throughout school had a problem. He smoked about 5-6 timeas a week to begin with. He drank too. Weed led to coke and probably other things too.
After college we just kinda drifted apart. He was into drugs, I wanted to move on with my life. He was a gifted drummer and joined a few bands, but never lasted because of the abuse.
We ran into each other a few times during the years but nothing ever changed, no matter what I said to him, so I gave up.
I wish I could go back and change it. I wish I could have stopped him from ruining his life. He probably would have made a name for himself in the music industry.
Most of all, I wish I had went to his funeral last year, but I felt like a schmuck for not going. I felt like I let him down somehow by not stopping him. I know there were other people who could had stopped him too, but I was his best friend.
