Now i didnt get all the details, as she was understandingly rather hessitant talking about the whole experience,

Probably because she was worried it would end up on the internet. Lo and behold...

Last night my housemate and a friend of ours were taking bong rips

That's usually the portal to extreme clarity or madness.

Heh, you post a story that someone told you in secret, a smoking buddy no less! And you are calling me immature? That sucks that it happened to your friend, but there is not much you can do about it now. No use agonizing over it and losing sleep, that kind of sh!t, and worse, happens to people all the time. If it took as much convincing as you said it did, she was probably regretting telling you after her buzz wore off anyways. Just try to be there for her and let her deal with what has happened in her own way.

There, was that the consoling, or whatever, you were seeking?

I wasnt seeking consoling, and im not seeking a fight with you. I was just temporarily insane and needed to get that off my mind and for some reason thought atot would be the place to do it. Not that most of the kids here couldnt use a wake up call, but i think mentioning bong rips in the first paragraph sent most people here into giggle fits.

When you post something here you have to simply discount two thirds of all posts, because most of them are people saying something stupid just to get their post counts as high as possible. I find this the primary problem with the 'post count as rank' system that it encourages the lowest form of participation.

I am not seeking a fight as well, I can sympathize because I have been in a similar situation (having something on my mind, and thinking ATOT would be a good place to vent). There was a time when that was true, but there is no community feel here anymore, it is long gone and is never coming back. Talking about drugs here is practically taboo, because I would guess that more than half the registered users aren't even legally allowed to buy ciggarettes, much less be capable of abstract thought. I am serious about staying close your friend though, it sounds like she is going to need some good friends to help her through this rough period in her life. People can always recover from terrible things like that, it just takes the right friends and a strong will. If that sort of thing freaks you out, or the other buddies you were smoking with are not up to the challenge, then I hope she seeks professional counseling. I personally don't think therapy is really that helpful if you have good friends, but it is decent as a last resort. Either way just try to remember that this place has become waaaay to impersonal to try to vent about things that are bothering you, and I hope you can feel better about the current situation you are in. Best of luck to you

Cheers. :beer:

*sigh* We are trapped in the endless September.

I didn't get to read the original post, but I can guess at what it contained. I agree with most of what he said, but I think he under estimates the value of a good therapist, but I am biased. If it was really all that serious (as I think it was) then she really should seek professional help. Denial is only health up to a point.

It's a good idea to post about drug use here. Start another thread and try again.
