[QUOTE="pinevalley, post: 459132, member: 3710"] To Busywend: My difficult child told us that he wanted to use "legal" weed, which he can get for about $10 in our local Dollar Store. From what I understand, it is really like incense that kids can put in pipes and smoke. It does not have the drug ingredient in weed, so it is not illegal to use, which is a big plus for the teens. My difficult child told me that he can get as much of a high from this legal stuff as he can from smoking real weed. They even sell this stuff in fruit flavors, like blueberry and raspberry, which the teens really like. One of the big problems with the legal weed is that kids don't know what is really in the mix of leaves and herbs, and some kids have had seizures and been hospitalized from using legal weed. A law was passed in Illinois that banned the sale of several brands of legal weed, such as Spice and K2. But the manufacturers just changed one ingredient and changed the name and they started selling the legal weed in Dollar Stores again. My difficult child seems to need to have any kind of substance in his system often. He started smoking cigarettes this summer, which we don't like. We have to pick our battles, and we chose not to fight with him over smoking cigarettes. He just can't smoke in our house or cars at all, and he respects this rule. He also likes to use hookah, which contains nicotine, but it is also come in different flavors. Hookah is popular to smoke in groups in our area, with long pipes, and my difficult child likes to smoke hookah with his friends. Hookah is not illegal, but it is definitely not a healthy thing to do, and we don't like this at all. But the real problem for us is the weed use, and now the use of this new legal weed. A lot of our difficult child's other problems with stealing money, and getting suspended in school, stem from his drug use. But he refuses to believe that he has a problem, and he says that we does not want to change.
