Drugs are bad.
We all know that, and not matter what justification one makes, they will always have long or short term effects; Addiction, Heart problems, Death. People know this and still do them. Doing some of the "weaker" drugs like weed will inevitably result in the harder drugs like heroin.
What do you do with a freind who is doing drugs? when you cant get it into their head that they should stop, they keep giving reasons that they should carry on, each reason worse than the last. What do you do when you know that they are the sort of person who will get addicted, they will end up on the harder drugs, and they will end up fucking their life, unless someone stops them. What do you do when you cant stop them?
what have i done? i've ignored them.
It cant be the right tactic, look at amy winehouse, she got even worse.But i dont know what to do short of being with them 24/7 and stopping them from ever getting near drugs. But that wont work, for one it's massively heavy handed, i'm not their only freind, and i get massively uncomfortable among alot of people. It's also a little creepy...
i dont know if i'll ever be able to talk to them until they look into my eyes and tell me that that will never do drugs again, i want that confirmation. I dont want to see them screw up their life, i know it isnt heavy usage now, but that can change very quickly, and i want to see them stop now, whilst they can.

Unfounded nonsense.
It looks like your problem in general is that you're very uncomfortable with drug-taking, which is fine. What I would suggest, though, is that this is similar to being uncomfortable with promiscuity and then discovering a friend of yours has begun work in the sex industry. If your hang-ups are getting in the way of the relationship, put a bit of distance in. Nothing is more likely to cause an ugly wound than trying to "fix" someone content to do their own thing, and the more you "worry about them", the more likely you'll make things worse. I've been in the position where an increased drug habit made it increasingly difficult for me to relate to a friend, but all you can do is let things take their course. The guy in question is a construction worker with a family now, doesn't seem to be on any more coke than the rest of us.
