for context we are both 17. i knew she had been casually smoking joints at parties and stuff for about 2 years but she recently told me that a couple of months ago she found her dads cart stash and had been using it more and more times a day ever since. i have never smoked anything before, not even hit a vape, so i honestly didn’t even know what a cart was. i told her i would support her in quitting. i thought since she could recognise she has a problem she would be willing to quit but her attitude about it is really confusing to me. she knows she has a problem and that she will get worse if she dosent stop, but shes just acting so casual about it. she says its the only thing she looks foward too and doing her hobbies or hanging out with friends isnt fun unless high. i convinced her that she needs to quit and she agreed to slowly reduce her dosages over the next week, however she says she wont quit on fridays or the weekend. from my understanding addiction isnt just something u can turn off on the weekend and this will inevitably lead her to relapse on mondays. all her friends smoke insane amounts and they just act like its not that big of a deal even tho they KNOW it is. ik she shouldn’t be hanging out with them anymore but we don’t go to the same school anymore and ik she has quite a close realationship wirh one of them. i just don‘t really know how to handle the situation and i feel really out of my depth. i already feel like ive partially lost her to addiction and it breaks my heart. any advice would be appreaciated.
