This is not the same, but related... (HS kids)

John has never used drugs, never smoked, never even drank alcohol. Matt has just discovered psy. shrooms, and introduces it and mj to John. John takes to them as much as Matt.

Within a year or two down the road, police stop John and Matt in Matt's father's burban. Matt was wearing JOhns jacket, which unbeknownst to either had a pipe and a stash in a secret pocket.

So when Matt relays story to parents (in addition to fines, they had to pay to get their burban out of impound), it is demanded of him to no longer associate with JOhn.

Of course this did not happen, as they had been lifelong friends- but it never was the same after that. Not overt animosity, but John was unable to cope with the perception that he was the "bad influence" because of drugs, when Matts parents had no clue it was Matt who introduced drugs to him in the first place.

That detail neither here nor there in the grand scheme of things, or should Matt have stepped up to the plate for his friend?
