I really would like to tell you it will be alright , but I would be lying to you , see I'm a recovering addict and i've learned that nothing anyone says or does is going to matter or change the situation. She is going to have to hit her lowest of lows, and admit she has a problem, then and only then will she be ready to seek help if it's not to late . The more you are there for her the longer this is going to continue, you need to distance yourself from her and tell her when she is ready to admit she has a problem and needs help , you will be there but that you can't and want stand by and watch her distroy her life , you need to love her enough to let her go.Health Question & Answer
If its pot, just don't make too big a deal of it unless shes like a hardcore pot smoker that does it every second that she's not high. Or at least try to convince her to stop.
If it's meth, cocaine, crack, heroin, etc (anything hard) then tell her that its either your friendship or the drugs
if she chooses drugs
TELL HER DAM PARENTS!
Trust me, she may hate you for awhile but she will realize it was for the best later... Good Luck =)Health Question & Answer

tell her how it affects her life and you! ask her "is this really what you want for yourself, for your future.?" talk to her about healthy ways of releasing every day stress so that she doesn't have to smoke! or to replace it with another habit that isn't as bad!

Don't force her into anything. If she wishes to be a drug user maybe its deeper than just that. Try maybe having a night over at your house, and talk to her about it and have the best possible time, and end it the night with a "I care about you, don't do this to yourself."Health Question & Answer

TELL HER PARENTS!!!!Health Question & Answer
You could talk to her about telling her parents. That you and other people belive this is serious and that you are afraid for her. If she refuses, set some firm limits with her. Tell her you won't have anything to do with her when she's high or carrying drugs. Tell her not to ask you for money now or at any time in the future. Tell her you care about her but don't want her drugs effecting your life. Then stick to your guns. She needs a good example and you need to distance yourself from the chaos that drugs will create in her life.
