I too think about this all the time. I have just a bundle of real friends (maybe 6 or 7) now, and the rest are drug friends or drug connections who pretend to be friends to make theirs. I think it comes down to wether you would be associating with them if drugs were completely out of the picture. There was a time when that number was maybe 2 or 3 due to a bad addiction and the fact that I was just happier when fucked up, and had the means to stay that way. I generally didn't associate much with most "friends" who didn't use during that time unless something was really bad wrong with me and I was seeking advice/help/etc.., which made me realize where "the line" was. I started asking myself if I was going to continue with drugs at this pace for the rest of my life. The answer was NO, so I laid off and worked on my social life a little. I'd have many more real friends now if I hadn't gone through that stage, but the past is the past.
