[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 625989, member: 17542"] Christian, Hugs to you today. I believe pot is a gateway drug for people who are prone to addiction. I don't believe it is an "okay" drug, especially for certain people like my difficult child. I am dismayed at how pot is becoming more mainstream. I can see nothing good coming from this, myself. It sounds to me like your son is teetering on the edge. Which way will he go? In terms of helping him, the best way you can do that is to set firm boundaries and stick to them. If he is living at your home, shouldn't he be doing something productive every day, like working or going to school? If not, what will become of his future? If his drug use continues and/or escalates, and he won't or can't quit, he will likely need to go to rehab. He will need help to stop. The book Boundaries is a good place to start (I may have posted that already to you, can't remember). I hope he and you move forward and things get better. Keep sharing here. We care. [/QUOTE]
