I see you are also a teenager, from another post. You can try to talk to the person, but may be faced with alot of denial and anger from the friend with the drug addiction.
definitely do not lie for the person, nor lend/give ANY money, or cell phone, or use of a car, etc.
You cannot make things easier for the addict to continue using.
can you talk to a family member of this person to try and have an intervention??
