[QUOTE="hcs712, post: 601520, member: 16595"] I am not trying to tell any of you that doing drugs is okay. I realize that drugs can have their own consequences. midwestmom- you can't know if they just experimented. but if they did just experiment, and the initial response is rehab and total cut off from the world other than school, it leads to harder drugs faster. I'm trying to help, not tell parents they don't know what they're doing. who wouldn't be concerned about their kids getting into drugs? if kids want to get high, they will. I'm truly sorry about your kids that have gotten themselves into trouble because of smoking pot. but, under the impression that you have all tried measures like counselling and therapy, it is next to impossible to control it. but an initial overreaction causes worse things than pot. I'm trying to share what I've witnessed to try and help, not tell any of you that you're misinformed or naive. if drugs start to cause serious problems with things like school, yes intervention is the right option in my eyes, at least if they're still in your house. insane- thank you for being the least judgmental... I realize it's rare but my mother and I have that kind of relationship. because she knows I do smoke now and then, she is tighter on me. we talk about it, and we agreed on no smoking on school nights or in the house. and those have held. no one NEEDS to be involved in drugs, just like no one needs to drink. but life is difficult, probably more difficult than I yet know, and the occasional solace of smoking, like having a drink for many adults (other than being alcoholic) knocks the edge off quickly enough to relax. again, if a kid wants to get high, they will. we all know that. Ive just seen parental reactions throw kids overboard into worse things. that's all. [/QUOTE]
