I am not trolling.

Go down to the verb section.
Loose is both a verb, and an adjective, and nothing I have said is incorrect.
You can very much 'loose' a friend, as in... to project them away from you, or put more distance or slack into the proverbial rope that connects you two together.
Sure, probably OP made a spelling mistake, but the comment I am responding to is saying that the usage is more or less entirely unjustifiable.
It isn't.
