[QUOTE="OTE, post: 7052"] If this is the first time these kinds of things are happening I'd say he's experimenting. So he could be trying a lot of different drugs. I'd ask other parents, his sibs, whoever might know who he is hanging around with and what that other kid is doing. You need to educate yourself. There are Federal websites that are good in sub abuse 101. samhsa.com comes to mind. You need to learn what to look for. You are likely to find there were a lot of signs you missed because you just didn't know. Aerosol cans missing? Part of that education is understanding drug screens. It's not one magical little stick that turns blue for boy. The person ordering the test selects which substances they want to test for. So if yours is using something out of the ordinary...eg mine has used Triple C. The test for Triple C costs hundreds of dollars so they don't do it very often at all. Pot tests are not just yes or no, it's a level of pot in the system. They may say he was negative when in fact it was a very low level because he hadn't smoked in 3 weeks. Honestly, I had no idea when I started how much I had to learn, and I barely skim the surface at this point now. [/QUOTE]
