[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 493461, member: 11001"] Hi David and welcome. You have gotten some good advise. My experience with drug tests is also that they are useless-especially pot. My daughter beat them regularly at age 14. I wonder about the hair test? I do know that the stuff stays in their system 28 days. They took her blood once in the emergency room to test-I dont know if that is a standard thing or what. This pot issue is a tough one because today's pot is so different. We were told at Residential Treatment Center (RTC) it is often laced with coccaine and more addicting drugs. I am sure mine is still using. She now has a job so she has money to buy it. She too is refusing antidepressants. All we can do is to not enable (I think your plan to give no cash is good-we haven't, but it may not stop them getting it), seek advise, go to 12 step meetings if that helps. Mine knows that she will not be living in our home at 18 if she will not follow rules, which includes no illegal activity. Not looking forward to next September! Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
