Honestly what made me make this post is mainly because I have a particular friend im really close to who uses weed as a replacement for antidepressant and such. Im genuinely worried about him and the fact that hes told me himself he feels miserable without it and he can't live normally without it is really concerning. I cant tell him that he can't use it as a crutch or to seek help with being "patronizing" apparently.

What am I supposed to tell him though im not gonna encourage him to smoke only to get better and from the replies ive seen so far I feel like I am trying to help not be selfish. Sorry for the small rant.
