[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 694225, member: 1550"] I can not agree with anyone more thsn COM saying to say things once and let it go. I would not harp. Iron Butterfly brought up something very true. if one keeps talking, talking, talking...somewhere along the line, you lose your audience. My mother used to say I "tuned me out!" It angered her, but I did and it was on purpose. She went on and on, over and over again, and to protect myself from feeling picked on and inadequate, I sang songs in my head or, worse, talked back to her in my mind (or out loud if it really hurt). This continued into adulthood. I still think less is more powerful. Calmly,"If you test positive for pot while living here, you can't stay as being high on pot is not allowed here." There. You said it. He decides what to do about it. That way he cant become angry and think he is being picked on. You have rules in your house/your castle/your sanctuary and he decides if he wants to live there by following or disregarding the rules. One tiime is the charm. Too much repeating...loses its punch. Nice posts COM and IB!!!!! JMO [/QUOTE]
