[QUOTE="recovering doormat, post: 330844, member: 5941"] Look, most of the kids I hung out with in high school back in the seventies had smoked pot at least once by the time they graduated, including moi. I have to admit some hypocrisy on my part when I get irritated with therapists who say some experimentation is normal. Problem is, the weed that is available now is way stronger than what I tried in my freshman dorm, and it's been laced with anything from PCP to Heroin. Both of my difficult child's became more than casual smokers, they threw themselves into it with gusto. difficult child 1 got more depressed as the PCP laced pot interacted with her antidepressants (Zoloft) and other mood stabilizers (she's been on a lot of different things, only drug that has helped is Prozac and Yaz (birth control pill but side effect is that it helps with PMD). My son was smoking three times a day last January when we placed him in a facilty to detox. They both still smoke but not the quantity they did before. The Bob Marley tee shirts, the constant weed references in the music they listen to, the glorification of being stoned in popular movies, it makes me nuts. Fortunately, difficult child 1 has outgrown that, and difficult child 2 can't wear that stuff to his high school. by the way, all three of my kids are wonderful to get along with as long as everything is going their way. Since I've introduced some boundaries and tough love, they call me "psycho." It's music to my ears. [/QUOTE]
