[QUOTE="trolli, post: 697287, member: 19561"] Hi Aging I'm pretty new to this forum as well.Been on to seek advise and support concerning my 20 yr old daughter and have found many wondeful,caring people offering great insight and support.Just paying it forward so to speak with my 2 cents.My 23 yr old son has similar issues with depression and anxiety,and I can tell you,as will he,that the pot made it considerably worse.He was on academic probation for quite some time and until he finally realized that the pot was a major contributor to his lack of motivation as well as contributing hugely to his depression.He just graduated and although it still worries me,he does still smoke on occassion,but is quick to say that it's a slippery slope and he checks himself often because he does not want to return to that dark period,as he puts it.I strongly believe it was the pot that was making his depression so much worse.I have a friend who is going through this with her son.He cannot seem to stop and she has noticed him sliding into depression. There is hope,my son had a light bulb moment and graduated and is doing well.Prayers that your son will continue to do well and graduate.Peace for your family.These kids can drain the life out of us,I know.
