[QUOTE="Origami, post: 685627, member: 18099"] My son's therapist actually recommended that we continue to let him smoke cigarettes (regular ones) because he'd get such severe anxiety when he tried to quit. He's been a smoker since about age 14 (age 19 now). My husband and I have given in to buying cigarettes for him just to keep the peace, even though neither of us has ever smoked and we are against it. My son told me he tried marijuana and didn't like it, so I haven't had that experience with him. My other difficult son, however, started with marijuana in high school and is now a heroin addict at age 29. So I'd say keep your guard up for evidence of any other type of drug use, which of course is a much more serious issue. If his grades start slipping, he's skipping classes, being habitually late, etc. or showing other physical symptoms, you would want to see what's up. [/QUOTE]
