Someone showed a picture to the guidance counselor of my friend smoking?

Yes, he should definitely say its a cigar and dont admit that its weed. But overall its not the smartest idea to have pictures of you taking drugs, publicly. Obviously, if it were on school premises it would be far worse, but him posting a pic of himself, with drugs doesnt give the school a good image, and will influence others in smoking weed, kids who fail to hide it from their parents will have their balls busted and it will all fall down on the school. This is the main reason schools are concerned, their reputation. So yes he should definitely lie and say its not weed, as long as there are no hashtags saying it was. I mean I take a few things every now and then but if they were publicly available, I would never gotten jobs etc. This type of data is so precious to everyone these days as the smallest thing they can find out about you, can scrw you for the rest of your life. Just tell your friend to say it was a rollie, or whatever it looks like, if it genuinely doesnt look like a joint or weed (teachers arent stupid). And just be extra careful!
