[QUOTE="Lil, post: 661669, member: 17309"] I wish I could. I'm sorry but we didn't get any further than asking our insurance if they would pay for an in-patient drug rehab. By the time we realized what a serious problem pot had become for my son, he was over 18 and we couldn't send him against his will, so I don't know how to go about doing it even with a minor. Wow. That sounds familiar. While we never got the "can't live without it", ours once told me it was the only thing that made him happy, even if it was only for a little while. This is addiction. All the people out there saying pot isn't addictive are wrong. Maybe not physically. You don't go thru withdrawal. But mentally? They don't think they can live without it. Obviously that is addiction. I wish I could offer you more than moral support. If it's any comfort, my son did tell me the other day that he had beaten a drug addiction all by himself. I really don't think he was doing hard drugs, so it's possible he was talking about pot. I haven't seen or spoken to him for some time when he was obviously stoned. SomewhereOutThere's daughter stopped harder drugs all by herself. It's possible. [/QUOTE]
