Excellent advice, cb.

Correct me if I am wrong, but without re-reading the op, aren't we talking about marijuana? If that is it, there is nothing to be concerned about regarding addiction. OTOH if we are talking about harder, addictive drugs, I would say stay away. A drug addict will most likely wear you out and cause you to give into the use yourself. They need professional attention which can only be effective if they come to the understanding that they need the help themselves.
