How easy is it for someone in their mid/late 20's to find a new circle of friends?
The group that I've known since high-school have started taking drugs every time they meet up and have lost interest in pretty much everything else, and while I'm not bothered by what they choose to put in their bodies I don't see the appeal in taking drugs myself, even smoking weed which I did a lot of as a teenager.
Because of this, I feel like I have less in common with them as time passes and that I'm left with only one friend that lives near me that I would consider a close friend that wants to do things that aren't listening to house music and taking drugs.
Due to living abroad as a child and being able to speak Spanish I'm able to make friends with Spanish and Latino immigrants that have moved here easily as I can relate to their circumstances, but as they have no family ties they often move either to a different city or back to their countries when they have a good job opportunity.
How can I make long-lasting friendships with people when I'm not in school/college and not being invited to parties?

If you don't have social anxiety like 84% of the board say they do you should find it quite easy at your age. Work friends , clubs, a lateral move amongst your current friends, just hanging out.

no way to ensure anything is long lasting unfortunately, you dont know how long a friendship will last until its over.
that being said, its not that difficult to make a new circle of friends. you just gotta go out and do things and talk to everyone you meet.
