[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 757703, member: 15032"] Hi JMom I also grew up smoking MJ and my son started out that way at 15 and went south fast - see my signature. However where we are from, Illinois, it is now legal. We just spent time at our condo in Florida last week (an annual trip) with Chicago friends who we have known for 25 years. All 50 and above. One, a retired police officer provided gummies for anyone who wanted them as he takes them for back pain. I did not partake as I get random drug testing but they think nothing of it and I didn't care either. Now as for my Difficult Child, he does smoke but he is in school full time (only online now due to COVID) and works and is pretty good at following most rules we set as well as doing things for us. We are okay with him drinking beer but found he drank harder liquor when we were gone which we do NOT approve of. It's okay if he has a margarita at dinner with us but not okay to do it in his room. I sometimes feel we send conflicting messages but it is what it is and I can't control everything nor do I want to. Husband is going to have a chat with him tonight. We spilled out his booze (wasn't a lot) but husband did not want to touch his MJ since he says "everyone is doing it" and he is very respectful with it around us. I don't know. I am always trying to find a happy medium. Is anything ever perfect?? After where we've come from with our son we are happy to see where he is now. That may not be okay for some - and that is all up to each individual - but we are okay with improvements we have seen. He still needs a lot of guidance for his age but things are slowly improving. I'm not sure I can expect more than that. [/QUOTE]
