I am really good friends with this guy "Scott". We have known each other for four years, and he has liked me since we met. We have dated twice, and both times i ended it. Recently, i realized that i really do like him (actually IMO pretty sure i love him). but he is afraid of getting hurt.
He is a football player, his dad is in the army, and his two older brothers play a key role in his life.
Yesterday, i found out that he smokes pot. I was absolutely in shock, and pretty much heartbroken, because we had discussed our view on drugs, and came to the understanding that we both don't agree with the fact that some of our friends do them.
Recently, one of our friends, got caught for drugs, got kicked out of school, and was arrested.
"Scott" docent think that it is a big deal, since his older brothers do it. But i don't want to see him screw up his life. He would get kicked off the football team, out of the advanced program at school, and his dad would probably beat him.
i don't know what to do about the situation, cause yesterday, when i found out i was crying, and he asked me what was wrong, and i told him how i don't want to see him do this to himself. and he told me its not a big deal and not to worry about him, how do i get it across to him, that i just want the best for him because i really care about him?

tell him everything you told us, explain it could mess up his life. but really you can't force him to stop, if this is what he wants to do he's going to keep doing it.

Tell him, and take it from there. Thing is, if he doesn't want to stop doing this, he won't. He has to really want to stop and if he doesn't want to, well, he WILL continue doing it. I understand that you only want what's best for him, but I reckon you should let your feelings be known and leave it at that. Leave it in his hands, and you get on with your life. I'm not suggesting that you stop talking to him or anything, I don't think you should, but accept that he might not give this up and don't get too hung up on trying to make him quit. I mean, if all he's doing is pot then I honestly don't think his whole life is going to go to shit (I have loadssss of friends who do it, and they're all grand), so take it easy a little. This isn't a huge international disaster, I promise. :] Talk to him, and take it from there. Post edited at 4:14 pm on May 11, 2008 by amiee

 I smoke pot regularly, have been for several years now.
I aced highschool. Top ten kind of aced.
I have a 30,000 dollar per year scholarship to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute where I am majoring in Aerospace Engineering and minoring in Philosophy of the Mind: cognition and sentience. I keep a decent 3.5 gpa [not bad for the crop of kids i'm with]
I have tons of friends, many who don't smoke, some who don't drink.
I am very active and during the summers I work a steady job for the state. ohh nooo, save me!! pot has ruined my life!! 
yeah, then theres that. i smoke at least once a week, have a weighted 4.0 gpa, unweighted 3.6ish, i'm in an IB program, spend the majority of my time playing soccer and hanging with friends. pot hasn't ruined my life either. it prob won't be a problem for him unless he gets caught.
