Jason:  You didn’t used to smoke weed.

Devan:  Hey, could you not bring this up to anybody? Don’t say this to the other guys.

Jason:  Sure, dude, no problem. But, like, when did you start smoking weed all the time, you know?

Devan:  You know, things have been rough lately with the whole Mason and Amanda…And I’ve just been…really kinda sad lately.

Jason:  I mean, yeah. I know.

Devan:  Frank keeps calling me. I gotta go…

Discussion

Jason runs into Devan and asks her what she’s up to. She says she’s selling some CDs. He asks if he can see them, in case she’s about to sell something he’d like.

She reluctantly shows him the CDs and some of them are really good. He’s surprised that she’s going to sell them.

While they’re talking, Devan’s phone keeps ringing. Jason asks who it is and when she won’t tell him, he looks at the phone. It’s Frank, a known drug dealer.

Jason asks Devan if she’s been buying pot from Frank. Then he realizes that the reason she’s selling her CDs is to get money for drugs. She says that she’s had a hard time since Mason and Amanda got together, but that she has to go. Jason convinces her to go get some food with him instead.

Have you ever had a friend with a drug problem? What did you do?

 I don't think smoke weed can solve any problem . Smoking weed is a completely irrational decision.

I've never had any friend involved in drugs, but I know how sad it could be since i've already heard some stories about people who sell everything they have to buy drugs, and others who go to rehab clinics. It's sad.

I think many people was looking for solution with their problems at drugs. Drugs get u only temporary solutions and  next time u have big problem. I know people who have problem with drugs and their life is only about two things make money and buy drugs. It's very sad.
