[QUOTE="DDD, post: 580723, member: 35"] It's a complicated balancing act as most of us know. So often society pictures the pot using teenager as a loser, stupid, unpopular etc.etc. Many of us know from our kids that the pot smoker may be highly intelligent, successful in sports and in society BUT making a poor choice. Having been suspended from school (how long, by the way?) means he now has to figure out what he really wants to be..this year and in the future. The public humiliation often turns into a negative influence as the teen can no longer feel like a winner. With our son, in fact, some parents literally forbade their kids from being in his presence except as needed in the classroom. I hope he is able to "dig deep" and get through this in a positive way. I'm sending supportive and caring thoughts his way...and yours. DDD [/QUOTE]
