[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 237324, member: 1550"] You got some good advice. Being 18, I don't know how much he'll cooperate. Also, we usually find out about drug use long after it's been going on and often it's a lot more than pot. If it is just recreational pot use, they are usually able to (or smart enough to) not do it at home. And, of course, they don't come out with the truth about their usage, even when they look us in the eyes. I also suggest searching when he's not there, then laying down the rules. Oh, and your daughter may know about it and be covering for him, even if she's a good kid. OR she may be doing it with him. Drug use is one of those things that you don't always know about. Nobody can stop him from using drugs. He has to want to do it. Legally, at his age, I don't believe you can force him into a rehab. Even if can, it won't help him if he's not of the mind to quit. Been there/done that. Wrote the book. Do some sneaking around and see how deep he is into drugs. It could be a phase or a very serious problem. Welcome to the board and good luck. [/QUOTE]
