[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 257530, member: 1233"] Just because you have not SEEN him use does not mean he did not get high in the bathroom. MANY drug abusers can seem "normal" when using because to their bodies it IS normal. I agree with MWM, the skinny look is a dead giveaway that he is using a LOT more than pot. Pot makes you hungry. The munchies are NOT something made up by Cheech N Chong, they are REAL. I used to work in a restaurant where pot use was rampant. I have seen the signs - they are pretty unmistakeable and NO ONE lost weight while using pot. Not that I ever saw. They lost weight on other drugs. Don't trust his friends. You don't know which of the friends are using. MANY kids successfully hide drug problems from family. And drug addicts can successfully hide problems from friends for weeks at a time. don't stop being suspicious. If he is coming into your home you have the right to search him to stop substances from coming in. Especially if you have younger children at home. But don't expect to actually find all his drugs. You might find some, but addicts are AMAZING at finding hiding places. Scary amazing. Sending lots of support to help you through this. [/QUOTE]
