[QUOTE="pinevalley, post: 486865, member: 3710"] Zardo: My son also started using the legal weed so that he would not get arrested if he got stopped by the cops with it. His whole personality changed when he started using the legal weed, and I know that it is highly addictive. My difficult child realizes that he has a problem, but he is not yet ready to quit all the way. He tells me that he will learn to cut down using the drugs (like only using on the week-ends, and not during the week), and see how that will work. He has agreed to enter an inpatient rehab program this Saturday, but I know that this won't work for him if he really doesn't want to quit. I want him to be in a safe place where he can get all the drugs out of his system, and he can start to feel what it if like to be drug free. He is getting high every day now, and I think that it is such a habit for him that he doesn't know what it feels like to be free of drugs. It will also be good for him to be away from all his loser, druggie friends for a while. I am going to talk to the staff at the rehab place and make sure that he doesn't manipulate them with his empty promises to quit. He is a master manipulator, and I want to make sure that the staff doesn't believe everything that he says. Anyway, thanks for the book recommendations. I don't know anyone in this area who is going through this daily battle with a teen and drugs, and I'm sure these books will help me to understand what we are facing with our son. [/QUOTE]
