[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 633904, member: 1550"] Do you want to share more? It is unlikely he is only smoking pot if he is in serious trouble. We all start out and, often for long periods of time, believe it is just pot. We WANT to believe that.But if we are on this site, it is unlikely only pot, not that pot is a good thing, but it doesn't cause aggression, stealing, violence, and other of the more dangerous behaviors that more advanced drugs cause.Most kids don't steal for alcohol either as it is legal and many older kids will share, unfortunately. I don't remember you (so sorry...senior moments!). Can you tell us briefly his story? You CAN'T help him if he doesn't want help. Most of us on this forum are in various stages of detachment and trying to give ourselves a good life in spite of our troubled adult children because we are learning or have already learned the hard way that we can not change them, even if we go broke trying to. It has to be their will to change, not ours. Hugs for your hurting mommy heart. [/QUOTE]
