[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 629107, member: 59"] Welcome brwnigrl and I'm sorry you have to be here. I wish I had advice for you but I don;t think there is any way you are going to stop your son from smoking pot. I may be all wrong but I think all the publicity about legalizing pot has given these kids the ammunition they need to think it's ok. I don't know how to change that thinking because if it does become legal everywhere we are the ones who are wrong. All you can do is control what is allowed in your home. If he is selling pot he will get into serious trouble. As many of us have learned, do not let him drive your cars. If he wants to contineu this lifestyle he may have to find alternative living arrangements. We did force our difficult child into treatment. Treatment does not "fix" the addict. She came out and relapsed over and over until she lost so many jobs and got into so much trouble that she decided to change. Thankfully our difficult child never advanced further than pot and alcohol. But nothing we did helped except to kick her out of the house and make her face reality on her own. Is your son employed? What are the kids he hangs with like? Does his entire world revolve around pot? The best thing you can do right now is set your boundaries and make them clear to your son. [/QUOTE]
