[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 512450, member: 1967"] Hi Shannon and welcome to the CD board. It's hard to tell how much a problem your son has. Many college age kids can smoke pot occasionally and do not become addicted to drugs. Your son seems to be high functioning (holding down a job and going to college) so I find it hard to believe he is deeply into subtance abuse. However, I would certainly draw a line in the sand that he can not smoke in the house nor have any drugs/paraphernalia in a car owned by you. I'm not sure if I understand what your counselor was saying. Did she say that pot smokers usually are not drinkers and that pot is not a gateway drug? If so, that is exactly the opposite of my experience. My difficult child drank, smoked pot, and moved on to prescription pill abuse. Others will be by to welcome you to the board and I'm sure they will have advice and support. Keep posting! ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
