Confession time: Have you ever peer pressured someone into using drugs or been peer pressured yourself?

I can think of one time where I was candyflipping and my roommate had driven me from a place where we both could overlook the skyline of new york. we had been having an intimate conversation since the moment i starting coming up on the mdma up until he went to bed. since it was my 2nd time taking mdma, i was feeling unreal about the effects it had on consciousness and perception. it was no joke and without a doubt one of the strongest affecting mood enhancers out there in terms of just how overwhelmingly it causes a huge shift in your ability to think socially as well as in any other type of abstract or literal problem.

anyways after we came back, we started smoking weed and after he got high, i kind of hinted at whether he wanted to take the remaining mdma i had left for us to see a potential situation where we were both kind of rolling and ultimately, he decided he wanted to go for it but was very anxious about the entire thing. i told him about the risks but at the same time what was left was most likely 30-50 mg, which would cause a subtle yet noticeable shift in my opinion. i thought why not let him have a chance with this if he desires it but he has such a problem with making decisions in general that making the decision while he was high exponentially made the situation kinda weird but ultimately, he ended up taking less than half of the amount i described was left, smoked some more, starting crying out of no where on his bed and opened up about something personal, then eventually ended up sleeping which seemed to me like he was in this state of being half awake or something and/or just asleep to be thinking about stuff as the result of the amount of mdma potentially being potentiated by the weed. i didnt really understand what happened and i just shrugged it off and called it night but felt guilty for the misunderstanding as there was something he definitely wasn't telling me truthfully moments before he was going to bed.

that overall experience was one of the few times we have had together that confirmed that we would end up remaining close in one way or another. he's a close friend but sometimes i wonder how everyone moving away from school to their jobs in different locations will change the social dynamic in ways i never imagined could happen until i finally were to experience it. its a scary thing to think about currently but there is some feeling of slight calm in knowing that people like him or perhaps others will remain there in that future. if some don't, its alright and not alright at the same time, but sometime shit just happens.
