[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 617887, member: 59"] As I see it that's one of the biggest problems with pot. It makes one unmotivated and eventually their life crumbles around them. My daughter started smoking pot as soon as she entered high school and by the time she got out she was smoking 24/7 and living in a drug house. Thankfully she never got into any of the hard drugs but we did have to kick her out and she spent time in a rehab center for alcohol/pot abuse. I wish those that want pot legalized so badly could live in our shoes for a week. I don't know wha advice to give you or even if I am qualified. He is seeing everywhere aroud him that society thinks pot use is ok so in his mind he isn't doing anything that bad and eventually it will be legal everywhere. The problem is that he is not responsible right now, if he drank the same problems would be occurring. If he continues this road yes he can get into legal trouble. I guess that's why many people want it legalized. But for me the deeper question is that pot use is not benign. Can you imagine someone driving next to you high on pot, or someone taking an xray of your body part or filling your prescription or working the carival rides ir anything else high on pot? Pot impairs your judgement. I did not allow my daughter to smoke pot in our house and I searched her room constantly and threw anything out I found. We called the police to help us with her several times when she was beligerent after using pot or because she couldn;t get out to use it. She ended up with several court appearances and even spent a weekend in juvie. I watched her lose several jobs because of pot and the effects it left on her. You make the rules for your home and he needs to respect them. [/QUOTE]
