okay, you've been invited to a party by a close friend you get on with really well.
during the party he starts to offer everyone drugs.
if they asked you...what would you? forgive him, or just get in the croud and take the drugs also.
bearing in mind this is your closist friend
As he is your friend, can't you do neither? Can't you just refuse the drugs? It is a personal choice that you have to make. It is like I always say if you get to know the person then you know what their about. You can't get mad at the snake if it bites you when you pick it up. That is the nature of a snake.
I would refuse to take the drugs, no matter who was offering it. As curious as I would be to know what it would feel like to take them, I know I wouldn't want to take that chance, putting something into my body that I don't even know what it'll do to me. Actually, once I learned that everyone else would be taking drugs, I would just leave the party because that'd be too freaky for me, most of the people probably not being in their right minds and everything, even if they didn't do anything dangerous. Even when I was at my grandma's house at a party, most of the adults were drinking, and even though I don't think they were drunk, I still didn't feel comfortable being there, so I went home. So I'd do the same thing with my friend's party.
As my friends know, I don't do drugs; I don't care if they do but I expect my friends to respect my choices as I do theirs.
It depends what kind of drugs they were.
If I was comfortable around the people at the party with my friends and all, I would try them once I suppose like weed or something. Not sure if I would try coke though.
I would refuse to take the drug, but since it was my best friend I would start criticizing him/her and speaking my mind about, um, what has gottten into you? Or just say, it's your choice, but remember I'm your friend I'm here to help you and be with you, so I'm worried about you. So I wouldn't leave them alone in case something happened.
I don't do drugs nor would I care to hang around people like that. I would refuse and then have a talk with them about it and if the talk didn't mean a thing to them I'd drop the friendship. Now if this friend just smoked cigarettes then they'd still be my friend, it's the illegal stuff that would turn me against the friendship.

I wouldn ot accept the drugs, but talk to him/her later and try to avoid worse things.
I agree with malcolm. Why can't you just refuse and have a good time. Afterall, each person has the right to make their own choices, and room to make mistakes in. So I'd tell them I didn't agree with what they were doing but I'd stick by them anyway. lol I wouldn't feel that it was my place to nag at them about the drugs and ruin our friendship. Chances are they know it's not good for them and are willing to take that chance. lol Those are my thoughts on the subject anyway.
I'd decline, thanks though? I would stay at the party if not everyone was doing drugs. It does freak me out a bit, and if everyone but me were doing it, then I'd leave. I'd talk to the friend later about it though and not critisize them though I hate the stuff, but the psychologist in me demands I be nice and try to figure them out.
Yeah. I think it really depends on what kind of drugs we're talking about here...
of course oyu can have a good time. It is still fair, if it's your friend, to try and help t hem out of this situation and to avoid that they get a real drug addict. Of course you can just refuse on that party, but talk to him later.
I would only particpate if I did not have children christ! parenthood really curtails everything..and talking sense into a drug user, is like trying to converse with an animal.
no, i wouldn't take the drugs. i'd respect their choices, and hope they'd do the same for me. if they didn't, then i'd leave the party. simple as that.
would say no bu if they still chose to do them at the party that is up to them.
Hmmm, you might be right there, Goblin. It might be hard to convince them to stop. Didn't think about that.
First of all my closest friend would know that I do not do drugs for the heck of it and thereby would not consider offering me any.
I guess my personal concern is that if at a party where drugs are prevalent is that of keeping say my beverage glass close at hand so as not to allow for someone slipping a drug into it such as ecstasy.
I wouldn't criticize my friend for doing drugs. It's their choice, though I think if they did stuff that could seriously injure them while they were high, I might say something. But, really it's their business.
Depends on my mood at the time. I always wanted to try pot but never dared. I wouldn't try anything worse though. Just remember that doing pot once in a while at a party doesn't make you a drug addict. Coke and extasy and all those nasty little pills are the more dangerous addictive drugs. If this person is my best friend, I'd probably know if he's an addict or not, or if he's going down that risky road. If he/she is, I'd do whatever I can to help them out of it though I doubt anything I say or do would really make a difference. If my friend doesn't want help, nothing and noone would help. As for staying at the party, if it gets too wild I'd probably leave.
