My GF tried drugs and I feel really uncomfortable

She drinks alcohol, so do I.

You both already take drugs.

It's not really the same is it though. Social drinking compared to taking something to get high. None of us get drunk when we drink, we just have the odd beer or cider on a night out.

Meh, the drug itself is really harmless - you shouldn't be having any terribly strong feelings about her trying weed if you wouldn't mind her smoking, or even really drinking.

That said, I sort of see your point about the other stuff. You would hope that her first time trying something like that would be something she would share with you and so the fact that she tried to keep it from you is a little troubling... hiding things is still hiding things and that's bad news in a relationship.

So my girlfriend of 2 years went on holiday to Amsterdam with her mate on an innocent break. They tried the pubs, nightclubs and visited lots of museums.

Yesterday she was showing me all her photos on her phone from the holiday and she showed me one of the 'brownie' she had. She said that I wasn't meant to see that one, which I guess makes me feel worse.

I really hate drugs, never done them, never will. I was sure she was the same, she hasn't told anyone else that she did it in Amsterdam. I feel really uncomfortable about it and was really not impressed when she told me. I thought she was a sensible person and I don't know what to think.

Am I overreacting? I don't know what to do. I really can't stand drugs as I've had some friends who wanted to just try them and have ended up going off the rails completely. She said to me she'd never do it again and just wanted to try it, but that doesn't stop me feeling crappy.

Any thoughts/inputs would be helpful, thanks.

How is that any better than say eating a space cake in amsterdam though?

She doesn't smoke and again, I'd feel the same way if she did start smoking. It's not about wanting to try it at the same time, I just feel really strongly against drugs and to me it's the fact she's done it fullstop.

Well there's a reason that these drugs aren't legal over in the UK and alcohol is. It's also that she showed it to me by mistake which makes me think she was trying to hide it from me.

You are overreacting. Maybe you may think cannabis is wrong because it has been illegal for us our entire lives in the UK but if alcohol was illegal you would feel the same about your girlfriend trying alcohol, as an example. There is absolutely nothing wrong with cannabis or with wanting to try new things. And it's not like your girlfriend will become "addicted" to it, so it won't be like other drug experiences your friends have had. If done responsibly, like how you are responsible with alcohol, there is nothing wrong with it. I think you need to become more open-minded (and no this isn't telling you to try drugs or anything! but weed is quite harmless and this is now also being acknowledged by places in the world as it is becoming legalised for recreation). Also, weed is natural. The only reason it appears wrong is because it has been illegal our entire lives but that doesn't mean it is wrong.
