[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 612860, member: 15801"] I have a couple of thoughts that might feel contradictory. The first is do what you can to strengthen your relationship with your son. If he is willing, spend time with him, talk about other topics other than pot. I would stop trying to convince him of the dangers of pot or use. It's an argument you can't win. Many folks see pot like alcohol and many people can use it casually with no ill affects just like alcohol and others end up with a serious substance abuse just like alcohol.and boundaries. Like others have said any consequences you give you need to be able to carry out. The two obvious limits are use of the car and money. I thinking not allowing use of the car because you can't trust him not to drive high... And not giving him cash because there is no reason for you to pay for his drug use. He won't like the limit which is why it may feel contradictory to my first point.... But honestly think about what you are comfortable doing for him and don't do nothing that makes you feel uncomfortable or that you feel will enable his drug use. My other thought is to set some serious limits l [/QUOTE]
