[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 612831, member: 1967"] Oh boy, I missed the fact that you give him $100 a month. You are in effect buying him the pot. If he is not working, he is using the money you supply him to buy the drugs. I would stop giving him the money here and now. Tell him flat out that you will not buy his drugs for him. I would also suspend driving privileges and certainly not let him transport younger siblings. He may be right that you can't stop him from smoking pot but in return you do not have to fund his druggie lifestyle. If he wants to drive and smoke pot, let him work to support that lifestyle. When he gets angry (and he will get angry), tell him adults pay their own way and since he is telling you that he needs to treated as an adult now, you are merely abiding by his wishes. [/QUOTE]
