How can you tell if someone is abusing drugs?

Answer by  SillyBands (36)

People on drugs normally try to hind that fact, however when they are high, they normally slip up on their lies. Even small slip ups are signs. For example, saying "Oh, I have trouble sleeping, I need this to sleep," but taking the medicine in the middle of the afternoon.

While there is no way to be sure, some common signs could include an unusual distance from a person who was once more open. This distance could be addiction taking over his or her life. In addition, look for newfound friends who could be encouraging this negative behavior. As always the best way, however, is to talk about it.
