How to deal with potheads/junkies/friends

Just some venting, but read anyway, maybe you can give me some advice?
They come into my house, don't even knock. They invade my personal privacy like it doesn't exist and come right on in. They say "whats up dude" in the most drug addicted tweaker manner possible and then they start to eat my food and make a mother fucking mess of my house without giving it a second thought to my financial situation and how much I can spend on food a week. Then they get high in my house (I don't smoke it much anymore so I sit out most of the time) and then they eat more of my food and leave.
WHAT THE FUCK? We actually used to be real friends but over the summer they turned into "drug friends" and it completely changed everything, its all fucked up. They smoke weed like its a crack rock and their whole day is spent in a pursuit of it. They break into houses and steal pills and steal drugs from other people. They were never stoners, straight from pothead to tweaker.
Whats a boy to do?

It sounds like you are saying drugs are making them that way. I have actualy had friends who were completely dependant on heroin and i had no idea, they just acted like every one else i knew. Next, it just sounds like they dont care about what you think unless they dont know how you feel about this in which case you should tell them. Another thing, it does sound like they are just.... out of control. If they are breaking into peoples houses i would suggest telling some one, not cops but.... theres a difference between drug use and people using drugs they buy with there own money and breaking into private property. I dont understand what your going through because im not you but it does sound very difficult... Maybe you can start locking your doors? Pretend to not be home and phase out the friendship. I would do that when people became really rude but i did not want to make a big deal of it. Slowly stop hanging out with them, at first wait a week, then two weeks, 3, 4, 5 etc. Also get an alarm system or window magnet alarms so if they break in your house (if your worried about that) you wake up. I have dealt a little with SOME people like this and if u want to talk u can PM me. But to be honest i cant tell you what to do and nobody else can, only you will know what to do because only you know the facts.
(also, a lot of people turn to drugs because of hwo they feel or things they have gone through, its rare that drugs are used just for the hell of it, a lot of times its to cover a problem of any sort (even physical)). Try not to be too hard on the "drug" aspect because a lot of people view mushrooms as "drugs" and talk bad about those who use them. Always try to see it from different view points. But still... they sound very rude.

They started taking Methadone and breaking into peoples houses for opiates and all that. Its fucking sad to see my friends go down like that. I tell them they have drug problems, but that doesn't really seem to bother them. Oh how I wish I could go back to highschool and change things. Fucking life.
Maybe I'm too nice

For a long time I pretty much told them I hated them and what they were doing. I was hoping they would get it through their heads that they were being out of control, but it was all in vain I guess. They still come around and I just don't have the heart and/or balls to turn them away just because of their problem. I feel bad for not talking to them but I feel equally as bad for letting them take advantage of my kindness.

I don't know what your talking about, but I know some one that does. I hang out with them alot, maybe too much, but I try to bring over as much food as I eat, and I'm the designated ride bitch, so I think it kind of equals out. But I do notice people walking in and out of his house at will. To control this he locks his door, I suggest you do the same. And when your friends come to the door to find that its locked and you answer it even though you don't want anyone over say "I don't want your tweakeresk self in here asshole.....come over around _______." Then close the door. If this doesnt work make the new 'hang out' place their house, and do what they do to you till they get sick of it.

That's fucked up.. I wouldn't let them in though if I were you. I've seen crack heads that were not nearly as bad as that even. If you can't help them don't let em bring you down too.

Also another interesting twist on this:
After I stopped hanging out with them, they started to hang out with my younger brother, making their behavior a somewhat personal affair, life is such a drama.

This is such a Lifetime movie
Anyway, sit your borther down and tell him the dangers of hanging out with them
If all else fails, beat the living crap out of one of them

Believe me, I've had to throw down with each one of them individually at some time or another, but be the kind hearted fellow I am, I forgive and forget and continue to get fucked in the ass.

That's where you need to stop
Realize that no matter what you do, they'll never change, and that you could be putting your actions into far more productivity
If you can't realize that, get one of those motivational videos

that would be the last draw for me, i would honestly make it clear that i dont want them around, especially my younger brother. you have to look out for him thats ur job, dont let them near ur brother.

treat them like strangers. don't not talk to them, just when they call don't be like "whats up ______ hows it goin." say something like "hello, who is this?" and multiple times throughout the conversation ask them who they are. act busy and uninterested in them. and don't give up, they will eventually get around to asking you why your being so distant and tell them they fucking suck and need to start doing the drugs that seem like their doing just so they have an excuse.

Yeah, I guess, its just hard to break it off with people you've known for so long. I'm only gonna take calls from them if they are calling from fuckin' rehab.
My brother is ok for now, he knows I don't like him being with them, and my mom still has him under her control. She knows the difference between drug use and abuse, and the she knows whats control and whats out of control. I tell her everytime I see him out doing shit with them, he thinks I'm some kind of a loser snitch, but its best for him IMO
Its also a security risk for me. I want to try some cultivation but I can't do anything in privacy around here because of all the fuckers coming in and out. Its just a fucked up situation. I'm thinking of moving and not letting them know where heh.

That would be the best thing you could do cause you can bet your ass if you did try to cultivate the second you leave one of your so called friends and I mean exactly that, would rip you off in a second.

this is what i would do in ur situation. but take it in mind i am a little crazy when i tonk my family is endangered. first i would go to them and straight up tell them i dont want them hanging around my brother and be nice about it and tell them i dont want my brother becoming involved with drugs. if this did not work and i found out my brother was still hanging out with them. i would use necessary force to get my point across. id like to say also that young minds are easy derailed of track as we all know we have all been young teenagers at some point and we thoguht we knew everything blah blah. sit ur brother down and have a serious conversation. get ur parents involved. use force if need be thought, u dont want ur brother becoming a drug addict. trying to help out so i hope everything works out. later..
