HELP. my friends dad died and he asked me if

Well the best you can do as a friend is ask him if he thinks he should be smoking bud at a time like this. If he still says he can handle himself well then give him the benefit of the doubt and smoke him up. If your friend is in a vulnerable place it is better that he smoke with you as a friend than go out and try and get bud through potentially sketchy people. My general philosophy is that bud is generally good. There are extenuating circumstances however.

 

After my grandpa died, we smoked the shit out of ourselves... all of us who knew him. He was a great man, and he had a full life, he died of cancer as well, 86 years old.

I believe that weed, when combined with good, supportive friends, can heal the heart my friend, and I can think of no better way for you to help your friend through this than to smoke the shit out of him

 

if your friend wants to try it, then i don't think i would deny him if i was you. not like you're gonna be doing anything bad. it's just pot.

what if whoever introduced you to smoking........ didn't? well yeah, it probably would have happened anyways, but that's not the point. just smoke a bowl with the kid.

 

imo this is the best time for him to smoke it will make he feel happier and less deppressed. think about it are you sad when you smoke or are you laughing and smiling and having a good time?

 

its tough to lose someone and i mean whenever i lost a family member i smoked for them and for my own sanity so maybe it would be good for him cause its his dad and he needs to relax

 

Yeah man, I agree with the rest of the people here. Let him smoke a bowl with you, it could definitely help him deal with it.

 

If you feel he is not using it to get through his depression, let him toke outta a fattie J.

 

Or.... he could feel like a guilty dick for lauging and having a good time when his dad*** just died.

But smoking might give him a good time to really thing about whats happening and remember his dad.***

 

He's your friend, and you probably know him better then any of us, but I personally wouldn't let him try it.

My uncle once told me something that has stuck with me for as long as I can remember, when you turn to drugs in hard times, you know you have a problem. this is any drug, whether its alchohol, weed or anything else. Weed is not a magical plant that will fix everyones problems, and him wanting to try it ONLY after his dad died should be setting alarm bells off for you. He will not be in the right frame of mind, and introducing him to new substances during this restless time can be very destructive.

If it were me, I would try to spend time with him as much as possible tryin to cheer him up and get his mind off things.

 

Just make sure he dosen't get super high like what normally happens to new guys, then he will be super fucked up and it will be extra terrible.

 

I didn't read any of the replies, but as to the initial question: I think it's a bad idea. You're never supposed to use a 'drug' as a crutch. Weed is something to be enjoyed and embraced, not to mask a temporary low point in life. I think that smoking is only going to postpone the healing process necessary for him after this rough period. Theres always a natural psychological process one has to go through in order to recover from a traumatic event, and using weed would interrupt the process.

 

I agree 100%.

 

i agree with this as well, one of my friends does drugs to vent his emotions that are bottled up, bud didnt do it and now hes experimenting with others, if you start at a bad time for the wrong reasons it may lead to something worse than just smoking pot, talking and opening up helps alot more than a plant will

 

yeah I would say do not do it.

1. like mentioned earlier, the mind has a natural healing/grieving process and any sort of drug use can interfere with that process and delay his recovery.

2. mental association. If he does try weed now, he will forever associate it with the "time his dad died" and instead of associating it with fun and happiness, he will associate it with death.

I think weed may be great for this person, just not so soon after a tragic event. Just my humble opinion

 

smoke a blunt for his dad man
