[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 64381, member: 1550"] I've heard of it. I never used it as I live further up. If your son is hanging with substance abusers (and often it isn't just pot, although they always SAY it's just pot), I would assume he is doing something. My daughter was the biggest and best liar during her substance abusing days. Of course, if we caught her with anything she was "holding it for somebody else." If we find a pipe in her room (that didn't happen for a few years--but she progressed) then somebody came over and planted it there to set her up. She could stare me in the eyes and swear that the cigarettes in her purse were not hers. She could even cry and act indignant that I didn't trust her. If your son is that out-of-control I would suspect drug abuse/alcohol abuse and spring a surprise home drug test on him. I don't know how good they are, but you could get your answer on at least if he was abusing anything AT THAT TIME. I have learned that while some kids use only pot, many hide behind pot and are using many other things. Amazingly, ADHD drugs are HIGH on the list of abused substances. M daughter says that one Adderrall was $10 a pill and kids faked ADHD to get them, stole from sibs, and that they're just all over the streets. The kids put them in pillcrushers and snort them (gross!) alone or with cocaine. They are addictive. My daughter was addicted to speed. Then she needed downers to sleep. Her moods and behavior were puzzling and impossible to explain. She got worse and worse as time went on so I'd try to nip it in the bud. Kids hang with like kids. My daughter started with pot at age twelve. We didn't find out she was doing drugs until she was busted and on parole at fifteen. And then we believed that she'd only used pot and had quit.
