[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 730750, member: 1550"] If she is a daily user? That Indicates dependence on sn altered state (which it is) and it would worry me. Pot stays in the system a long time. I would think that sooner or later the brain would be affected, lack of motivation would kick in, and other drugs/overuse of alcohol would kick in especially at college. The amount of use matters in my opinion. Weekend weed in a functional adult child wouldn't phase me as long as the child clearly understood that our home and the property outside that is ours is smoke free. No cigarettes or pot. No smoke, no foul smell, no butts in our grass. I am death on any smoking in our domain as I don't want any smoke in my lungs or on my walls. You can use your own rules. Your house/,your rules/NEVER let the kid rule your house. EVER. You will regret it. If she smokes daily, well, all in moderation. Too much of anything is not good. But aside from banning pot from the house, I am not sure there is much you can or should do as long as she functions well. I don't think parents can win the war of pot, but if our offspring start failing in function we can set limits and boundaries at the time. Pot CAN cause big issues. Especially in daily users. Do you let her drive impaired? Some parents do... I loathe pot and alcohol. But I know that occasional pot or a daily glass of wine is fine in non addicts. But wine leaves the system fast. Pot....no. still many smoke pot and are functional societal members. I can hate it but it isnt going anywhere. Some can not handle pot as some can not handle alcohol. They are alike that way. Wishing you luck. [/QUOTE]
