[QUOTE="Growing, post: 742523, member: 23462"] You didn't do this. Unfortunately like everyone says, we must realize we do not have total control over their choices. My son is 21 years old and I found out he has been smoking weed since he was a sophomore in high school. I've decided that although marijuana may not be as "bad" as other drugs and plenty of people indulge in smoking it from time to time with no problems - it is a problem for my son. Since he was 18 and went away to college and got the freedom to be unsupervised and smoke as much as he wants, he abuses it. And I can't deny that he seems less resilient, more anxious, and is always broke despite living at home with no rent or utility bill and having a part-time job in which he makes about $1,200 month. I can't imagine having $1,200 a month of disposable income with no bills except cheap car insurance and parking tickets. Can you imagine? He does not smoke in the house, he smokes on our deck outside. But I've decided that we need to be honest with the fact that we don't want him smoking anywhere on our property. I honestly feel like stating, "In order to continue living here - you must stop smoking marijuana" Because I believe that marijuana is the reason he lost the ability to tolerate emotional distress and to succeed in college. So that means if he asks us for any money for any reason we are to say no and I wonder what you guys think about us kicking him out? [/QUOTE]
